Merging Science And Spirituality with Martinez Hewlett

MP3 Download

Where is the line between science and philosophy? Or perhaps the more interesting question is, where do they overlap? In recent years physicists have discovered that the closer they look at the fundamental components of matter, the closer they get to what can only be described as consciousness. For decades Martinez Hewlett has been exploring the places where the seemingly disparate worlds of science and spirituality meet. As a scientist who once thought he could understand everything in terms of atoms and quantum physics, he now recognizes that even rocks may have the capacity to experience the sacred. He explains how scientists and theologians everywhere are shifting toward new perspectives that bring them closer than ever to a worldview that encompasses the best that both have to offer.
