***
“Every once in a while, however, a signicantly new
take on an important theory emerges…. The greatest
moments in scientic history have arisen, and will
always
always
arise, when a new explanation, perhaps coupled
with
with
new observational results, produces a seismic shift in our
conclusions about the workings of nature….
Baruch Spinoza, the philosopher who created the
strongest bridge between the natural and
supernatural,
supernatural,
rejected any distinction between nature and God, insisting
instead that the cosmos is simultaneously nature
and
and
God… Let us then proceed with our adventurous quest
for cosmic origins, acting much like detectives
who
who
deduce the facts of the crime from the evidence
left
left
behind.”
