For myself Wafflehead, I believe so. The sense of wonder and awe at what science has revealed in the cosmos as well as our own little world,stimulates me to seek spiritual congruence.
My own enquiries had been able to satisfy me that the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive.
I am a seeker,so maybe I reached the conclusion I wanted,but I was greatly heartened some years ago when I came upon the Writer Ravi Ravindra,a Scientist(Master of Science and Ph.D in Physics,University of Toronto)and also Professor of Comparative Religion,Dalhousie University,Halifax ,Nova Scotia.
One of his books is entitled "Science and the Sacred." A quote from the cover summarises better than I could.
"A significant contribution to the fields of philosophy and science,comparative religion and religious studies. A first-rate scholarly mind,who also has considerable spiritual sensitivity,deals with science without being intimidated by science."
There is the potential for a religious or spiritual life unencumbered but still informed by Religious Traditions of all faiths,also deepened by advancing knowledge.
