Mixing Science with Spirituality is a huge headache, as one always tries to cancel out the other. I saw this happen with Astrology- it began as a science, then soon the insertion of religion by the Greeks and Romans made us forget that it was a science, it became a load of mythological nonsense.
I've even heard of scientists that base their theses on their religious standpoint, but they are rarely taken seriously. Though it is a nice idea that they have, because I think that we all would like to see scientific backing of our beliefs, I esp. am the kind of person who seeks this kind of "proof".
I think the closest any scientist has come to combining the two is with Kirlian photography, which gives a picture of our individual auras. I found that VERY interesting, as it really linked us with animals and plants, which have auras just like we do. And to see an image of our life force is pretty amazing. They even managed to photograph an aura around bottles of essential oils- plant essences extracted by steam or solvent processes, which you would expect to be quite "dead" after being seperated from it's parent plant. Rather they have quite an energetic aura!
Hmm, mixing science and spirits has always provided good plotlines for movies, eh Firesnake?
