Following Galileo, science and religion separated. Following Darwin, they divorced. Science has flourished, but humans, the children of that divorce have suffered "disenchantment of the universe." 
Reason and Wonder reconciles and re-enchants.

 Modern science has unfolded over the last 450 years as three successive "Copernican" revolutions that are redefining the physical, the biological, and now the spiritual place
of humans in the cosmos.
