Publisher's summary

In The Soul of Science, Michael Shermer asks, "Can we find spiritual meaning and purpose in a scientific worldview?" Spirituality is a way of being in the world, a sense of one's place in the cosmos, a relationship to that which extends beyond ourselves. There are many sources of spirituality; religion may be the most common, but it is by no means the only. Anything that generates a sense of awe may be a source of spirituality. Science does this in spades.

Typical empty headed athiest rubbish

There is no truth, (honest) no certainty or permanecy of knowledge, no purpose, design or meaning... bla bla bla. M. Shermer seems to be insisting that there are absolutely no absolutes. Special pleading for uniquely protective rules for discussion in the hallmark of all athiest Dogmatists who are content to live in the dark because they are afraid of the light. Like a dead fish carried along by the current of thought. They crow loudly about the work that others have done because they cannot produce original work of their own.

Apparently Athiest "science" has confirmed that the life of the athiest is so meaningless that one must invent a purpose/value for oneself. A plesent delution that comforts and makes athiests get warm fuzzies before they become worm food. Being a godless Athiest comes with other benifits too apparently. like moral fluidity, scientific laziness, and a distain for scientists who cultivate standards of discipline. Which might cast doubt on Shermer and his school of dead fish. For in the same way that any dead fish can float down stream and marvel at how far he has swam. just look at the progress! Shermer has derived his unoriginal theory from other peoples work. He has absolutely no new theories of his own, nothing novel or original to contribute to the conversation. Pure unadulterated empty headed twaddle about nothing, theoretically. This book was such a lame snooze fest that I am sorry I wasted any of my time with it. And since reading it I've browsed through his other titles and came to the same conclusion. This man is NOT searching for truth. He is cherry picking his facts to confirm his athiest twaddle. It's sad.
