I walked in on three of my friends having quite an interesting discussion this morning. They were arguing on whether spirituality had a place in science. These are their arguments; Friend 1, as we may call him, who was an atheist, claimed that science cannot talk on spirituality when there is no proof of it, and science cannot work with anything that has no scientific merit, Friend 2, who is both spiritual and religious, countered by stating that science is a search for answers, so how can it discount the possibility of something so common amongst people as spiritualty is, and has been since the earliest humans who could record information on a cave wall. Friend 3, who is spiritual, believes in a higher power, but I'm not sure as to whether he has a set religion or not, chimed in and said that there is evidence for spiritualty, from near death experiences, to psychic experiences, to ghosts. Though some things can be explained as mere coincidence or even as hoaxes, there is far to much unexplainable evidence to simply discount it, as that it would be irresponsible for a scientist to do so. Friend 3 went on to talk about spirituality is in itself a form science, and is only not recognised as one by the scientific community because they have chosen not too. Listening to these arguments, which where obviously more lengthy than I put in here, I want to know what people here think of it. Being open minded, and without making personal attacks on anyone person, I want to see how you all think spirituality fits in with science...
