Abstract
An interdisciplinary approach to the central themes of scientific and religious thought, beginning with matter and energy, and moving through life, mind, culture, history, and spirit. Progressively reforming scientific theories lead on larger scales to progressively developing narrative models, worldviews. Science is the first fact of modern life, and religion is the perennial carrier of meaning. "God" is still the deepest hypothesis adequate to explain the genesis of life and its millennia long survival in the midst of its perpetual perishing.
