Fritjof Capra - an essay from the Sutra Journal which he entitles "The relationship between science and spirituality".

"While scientists try to explain natural phenomena, the purpose of a spiritual discipline is not to provide a description of the world. Its purpose, rather, is to facilitate experiences that will change a person’s self and way of life. However, in the interpretations of their experiences mystics and spiritual teachers are often led to also make statements about the nature of reality, causal relationships, the nature of human consciousness, and the like. This allows us to compare their descriptions of reality with corresponding descriptions by scientists.In these spiritual traditions – for example, in the various schools of Buddhism – the mystical experience is always primary; its descriptions and interpretations are considered secondary and tentative, insufficient to fully describe the spiritual experience. In a way, these descriptions are not unlike the limited and approximate models in science, which are always subject to further modifications and improvements.

In the history of Christianity, by contrast, theological statements about the nature of the world, or about human nature, were often considered as literal truths, and any attempt to question or modify them was deemed heretical. This rigid position of the Church led to the well-known conflicts between science and fundamentalist Christianity, which have continued to the present day. In these conflicts, antagonistic positions are often taken on by fundamentalists on both sides who fail to keep in mind the limited and approximate nature of all scientific theories, on the one hand, and the metaphorical and symbolic nature of the language in religious scriptures, on the other. In recent years, such fundamentalist debates have become especially problematic around the concept of a creator God.

 Creativity and Diversity on an unknowable scale; and You as source of All.

However far apart the "worlds" (by which I mean "languages") of science, art and "religion" (I hate this word!) may seem, the truth is singular and all-encompassing. It is a truth unattainable except when we come to You and discover there poverty and simplicity - a steadfast refusal to judge, a determined refusal to limit, and a firm childlike faith: the ultimate gifts of the spirit.
And we need not wring our hands and say, "but where do I get poverty, simplicity, faith and humility from in the first place?" As I say, listen and the gifts will come.

From an article in The Tablet on 20th January 2018
"Unity isn't something we create, it's something we discover: we are already one in Christ."

The truth is out there: but it's hidden from all of us: beginner pianists attempting a Mozart concerto.  

from Tillich's wikipedia entry

Tillich states, sympathetically, that the God of "theological theism"

"deprives me of my subjectivity because he is all-powerful and all-knowing. I revolt and make him into an object, but the revolt fails and becomes desperate. God appears as the invincible tyrant, the being in contrast with whom all other beings are without freedom and subjectivity. He is equated with the recent tyrants who with the help of terror try to transform everything into a mere object, a thing among things, a cog in a machine they control. He becomes the model of everything against which Existentialism revolted. This is the God Nietzsche said had to be killed because nobody can tolerate being made into a mere object of absolute knowledge and absolute control. This is the deepest root of atheism. It is an atheism which is justified as the reaction against theological theism and its disturbing implications."

Isn't this the the God of Dawkins and Hitchens?

You can never be summed up, understood, grasped, or analysed. Prayer surely has to be a constant letting go of all theory, concept and vision: aiming always to seek to allow You to be who, what and where You really are.
