We see science and spirituality as two different and contradictory things.
* Science, we feel as something which can be proven.
* Spirituality, something to be believed.
* Science flows in
observe-> repeat -> conclude -> abstract it to basic principle.
for example: Newton observed falling of apple. Measured the acceleration. Repeated it for different environment and concluded to the law of gravitation.
* Spirituality flows opposite, in
believe one abstract principle -> conclude -> repeat -> observe.
for example: We have to believe in GOD/ spirit, conclude his behavior/ power, and observe his presence in repeated experiences.
* They look contradictory, but are like blind men touching elephant and making their contradictory perceptions.
* Imagine a pyramid with ground base on physical world and it's top as truth.
* Science is starting with base and move up to the top of pyramid.
* Spirituality is starting at tip of pyramid and follow to it ground base.
* Religion is the ready-path taken in the spiritualism journey.
* We have not covered both ends of the pyramid at same time, leading to contradiction.
* But with advance in science (like quantum theory), unification of both is possible. This will lead to one truth, which will answer all our questions.
