The universe may be a living, complex being in the same manner that Gaia is for the Earth.

It’s really striking that every single religion believes in spirits of some sort, no matter how monotheistic it claims to be. Often, some of these spirits are the gods of a previous religion; this is a truism for comparative religious studies, and there are innumerable examples. Each religion constructs a more or less implausible mythology, which divides the spirits into three groups: one ...

In my previous post I made the point that assuming that Genesis 1 is attempting to be "Scientifically accurate" just doesn't work.
