SOME people would insist that the term "spiritual freethinker" is self-contradictory but a spiritual freethinker, is a rational person, grounded in reality, yet still able to look at the stars in awe of their magnificence.
Carl Sagan, author of The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, perhaps said it best: "Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both."
