The Purporsive Evolution/Involution of Consciousness in the Universe



Transcending the Religion/Science Dichotomy

Meta List on Science and Religion a dialouge's got to start somewhere...

AAAS Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Religion concerned more about ethical issues in science.

counterbalance more of a theology and science sight, but well orginized

John Templeton Foundation somebody please nominate me. the money sure would help. I wouldn't have to D.J at strip clubs to pay my rent anymore.
