Today I heard someone say they think spirituality is a symptom of ignorance. He argued that we use spirituality to justify things we don't understand but in actual fact we just havnt discovered it yet.
I particularly didn't like that he equated spirituality with ignorance. However, I agree that spirituality provides us with general patterns and theories to explain things we are yet to understand by science.
However, I don't believe science is superior. In fact, I believe spirituality can be key to morality and humility for some and these human and social facets are more important than how we understand the world. I also believe it's probable that as humans we never will understand all the intricacies of nature. I think it's too clever for our minds and that is oddly comforting to me. It gives me the sensation of something being bigger and better than us, similar to this 'god' or 'spirit' we hear so much about. This is where I find my humility.
