Guest guest Posted March 1, 2000 Report Share Posted March 1, 2000 What we call " Science " is simply the knowledge about the physical universe gained through the application of the scientific methodology. You cannot explain the spiritual universe in terms of " Science, " or in terms of the physical universe of matter, energy, space, and time, simply because the spiritual universe is entirely independent of the physical universe. What we need to do now is to apply the same scientific methodology, which we applied to the physical universe, also to the spiritual universe to gain a more precise knowledge about it.
