Where did this dichotomy come from anyway? Obviously, religious nuts and fundamentalist materialists have taken over the world, but do we really have to choose a camp?
All my life I've had the distinct feeling that science is an expression of some kind of authentic spirituality and VICE VERSA. Is that foofy? New agey? I think it's fascinating that people are actually attempting to re-frame this topic in a way that differs from this "A" or "B" choice that we've been given.
Why is everybody foaming at the mouth?
I'll take a combo meal please: 'hard' science with a healthy dose of wonderment, and an intuitive relationship with what you all would call The Supernatural. I agree with the concept that reductionism, while helping us get this far, is the fossil fuel that will soon give way to some kind of 'solar' or other alternative. (And may help us survive on one rock.)
I apologize for any misdirected foofy-ness.
