How can we find spiritual meaning in a scientific worldview? Spirituality is a way of being in the world, a sense of one’s place in the cosmos, a relationship to that which extends beyond oneself. . . .

Anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. Science does this in spades. (158-159) ↗
