Science and Spirit in the New Millennium
by Christopher Van Buren
Both science and spirituality have made grave mistakes throughout history. But today, there is a new science taking place that is beginning bridge the gap between these two former opponents. The new science seeks to explain the natural laws behind phenomena that have always been in the spiritual camp. It appears that some scientists are accepting the fact that just because it can’t be explained does not mean it does not exist. If you’ve ever walked on hot coals in your bare feet, you know what I’m talking about. I know there is some scientific measurement that could explain what happened to my body when I stepped out onto the hot embers. I don’t pretend that I had some kind of spiritual experience or miraculous transformation. It’s probably quite explainable. But for the moment, it has not been explained scientifically. There are many such spectacular natural events…what people often call super-natural events.
Thankfully, things may be changing on both the scientific and religious fronts. A new science is setting out to accept and support the existence of uncommon natural events. These uncommon events are just as much a part of the laws of nature as the every-day events are. Science, when it’s at its best, is merely trying to define, explain and repeat these laws. At its worst, it’s trying to manipulate them to its own end.
Here’s a short video about new book on the subject of science and spirit. Take a look…
