Science and Spiritual by Maria Popova
It is the aim of science to coordinate all observable phenomena
within a single natural order
and it is its faith that such is possible
Hence the basic objection to the acceptance of the supernatural
If the scientific stand is justified, then everything,
whether of matter or energy,
mind or spirit
belongs to one vast scheme!
It is all one and
every part has a relation to the Whole!
This is as much a tenet of faith
as with any other belief
But it forms the working hypothesis of
all real scientific endeavor
within a single natural order
and it is its faith that such is possible
Hence the basic objection to the acceptance of the supernatural
