“Stephen Hawking, Cosmology, and Spirituality” by Brock Haussamen

Science, always pushing the limits of  knowledge, remains comprehensible to an educated audience as long they can visualize the new theories. But over time this cosmology-spirituality gap is probably slowly closing. Scientific facts and theories that were unknown or controversial a few decades ago seem to be working their way into the religious mindset gradually. Twenty years ago I would never have thought that the longevity of life over 3.8 billion years would mean much to me, but now it is central to my appreciation of life. Who knows? Perhaps my grandson will grow up to feel that string theory is his key to making sense of the world.
