William Gibson on Accelerating Change

Some people believe that it is hard to lead a heavenbound life that is called “spiritual” because they have heard that we need to renounce the world and give up the desires attributed to the body and the flesh and “live spiritually.”

The laws of nature are the laws of truth. Truth is unchangeable, and independent in its own sphere. A law of nature never has been broken.

Both science and religion beget humility. Scientists and teachers of religion disagree among themselves on theological and other subjects. Even in our own church men and women take issue with one another and contend for their own interpretations. This free exchange of ideas is not to be deplored as long as men and women remain humble and teachable.
