Are You A Religious Naturalist?
This 13.7 blog entry over at NPR has got me thinking lately. This recent entry is about God and life and nature and meaning. All these things have been on my mind quite a bit lately as I’m trying to understand my own understandings. In thinking specifically about life (the biology of) and God, I’ve felt deeply moved and utterly lost and baffled. Often, like now, at the same time. I think the genesis of my thoughts on such topics started a few years ago when I heard a talk at the Alder Planetarium by father George Coyne, SJ, an astronomer from the Vatican Observatory. His main point was that God has given us two books with which to know him/her - nature and the Bible. This idea has continued to follow, inspired, and haunt me. This blog post is just the most recent part (the movie Avatar is also connected - more on that later). I wonder what y’all think.
