Today we live in a world where science and the rational often seem to dominate and dictate how and what we think. Science has often been seen as an antagonist to the ideas of spirituality.

Many religions teach that how we act in our life will determine where we will end up after life. If you follow religious teachings and adhere to their ethical standards, you will be rewarded and spend an eternity in heaven. If not, you will be punished and forced to spend forever in hell. Modern science, however,...
