How Can We Find Spiritual Meaning In A Scientific Worldview? Spirituality Is A Way Of Being In The World, A Sense Of One’s Place In The Cosmos, A Relationship To That Which Extends Beyond Oneself. . . . Does Scientific Explanation Of The World Diminish Its Spiritual Beauty? I Think Not. Science And Spirituality Are Complementary, Not Conflicting; Additive, Not Detractive. Anything That Generates A Sense Of Awe May Be A Source Of Spirituality. Science Does This In Spades. (158-159)
