SPIRITUALITY/RELIGION VS. SCIENCE :: Where we stand today

I wanted to write a blog before the month comes to an end. So that June does not go away with a 'nil' contribution to my blog account. Yes, I did produce a lot of thoughts as I wrote a huge lot on the topic of Consciousness as perhaps the most engaging concern of an increasing number of scientists in both physics and biological sciences. Of course, religious thinkers and philosophers through century after century have never ceased to expound their thinking, based on speculation, generally resting on certain authorities which should not be questioned. The account was shaping quite well, at least as I supposed, but alas due to an inadvertent mis-typing of a key the whole bulk was gone into nowhere!, leaving only the first sentence in tact. I believe I typed the stuff - quite fast as Ihave been typing all my company reports for years, myself, and thus gained a lot of skill at speed typing, the only restraint arising due to the commitment to see that the sense intended is cogently presented and does not deviate in precision from the thought flow.
And so I defer continuing this for tomorrow, or rather 'a tomorrow' which will come, and come hopefully very soon!
