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.
