You got it Steven. I would add that the major religions all have one thing in common, the promise of life after death. It is obviously a powerful incentive to believe. Science cannot promise life after death, but neither can it rule it out. Not our bodies, of course, but our consciousness. Del

Steven, "I don't really understand why many people feel that science and spirituality are mutually exclusive, or that attention paid to one must diminish attention paid to the other." They aren't mutually exclusive. Rather, they complement one another when each respects the uniquely vital role the other plays. Seems though that the tone of our discussion here put us in two camps: one, the Rational, "I don't believe what can't be scientifically proven." atheist/agnostic side, and the second, the Spiritio/Religious, "You can't scientifically 'prove' what I believe, yet it is so." side. And don't we just love to choose sides? Love to dig our heels into the banks of duality? North and south, black and white, yes and no. What about the river that flows between us? This meme is The Beast: I am not one with the world. I am separate from you. Ain't nothin but The One. Why do we resist this? We jes loves a heapin helpin uh dos Me's, My's, and I's. Rick
