SYNOPSIS:
Are science and religion
necessarily at odds?
Does the advance of modern science
cause the retreat of religion?
Is is possible to be a person of spirit
and still believe in the wholly-natural
origin of the universe?
Does giving up pre-scientific world-views
necessarily mean giving up all forms
of spirituality?
