Although I agree with much of what Dr Kaufman says here, I don't think it really adds very much to the debate about evolution or what? This mystical, humble sense of awe about the universe and life is not contradicted by the theory of evolution; nor would most atheists be uncomfortable with it. This "God" has certainly little in common with "religion" as commonly understood and practised. It does not give meaning to life, nor does it explain the origins of life. Nor does it need to. "To see the world in a blade of grass and heaven in a flower" is quite sufficient for me.
