Swimme 3: Birth to Earth

Mathematical cosmologist Brian Swimme answers the ultimate question by looking at our birth in a sea of light 13.7 billion years ago. Out of that initial event comes matter, atoms, elements, and the birth and death of stars. In the intense explosion of energy that attends the death of a star, the very atoms that comprise our physical beings are created and flung out into the universe.

We need more scientists to make such profound observations available to non scientists...perhaps such a calling would slowly shift skeptics, fundamentalists, away from a dangerous world view

Brian Swimme has a fascinating way of awaking people to the wonder of the universe.

"A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory."

Richard Dawkins

“Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality.” -- Carl Sagan

Ultimately, one cannot reject religion and one cannot reject science. Religion is a catalyst for SUBJECTIVE spiritual experiences (that does not work for all people) and science is a way of rationally upholding those experiences through OBJECTIVE research, analysis, and experimentation.

Spiritual = Symbolic

Scientific = Data based

Therefore: Balance is necessary. :)

Why is it that on every science video religious lunatics and devout materialists have to have a pissing contest? The religious will not convert anyone by proclaiming that the heavens declare the glory of god, and the materialist will not convince anyone that all is meaningless. One would think that in the face of this unimaginably vast and incomprehensible universe, a little more humility would come into play.
