Science and Spirituality need not be at odds. In fact, the more science has delved into the empirical make up of the physical (quantum mechanics, string theory/multiple dimensions), biological (Gaia hypothesis, autopoiesis, complex systems), and psychological worlds (meditation, entheogenic plant therapy, integral theory), the more space began to open up for a spiritual interpretation. Reality is not what it seems. We need not continue talking about "God" as though "He" were some supernatural being who lives in the sky and designed the universe. Spirituality is just the acknowledgement that rationality (ratio=duality) is not the final end of human consciousness. The goal of human existence, in my humble opinion, is not to believe in God, it is to realize God Consciousness for ourselves. God Consciousness is the experience of non-duality, of cosmic unity, of wholeness.
