YEp, you know I'm there with you on this one. I have no need for faries at the bottom of the garden for it to look beautiful. The universe is amazing and our purpose in it simply should be to make the most of it and investigate it.
The fun thing recently has been trying to reconcile my gf's more pagan beliefs and my, what would I call it? Scientific Spirtualism. Basically we've found the hermetisicm has acted as a good meeting point and that what I call and electron is just what people in ages past refered to as Thor, Zeus or Raidan.
What has been interesting though has been explaining platoism to her as that fits neatly with both quantum mathemaics and with hermeticism.
We've already discussed how we are going to explain christmas to our kids when we have them. Simply put we're going to say that Jesus was just a good man and mroe than likely some kind of wizard/wise man of his age, and we will just go for a pure pagan celebration of Yule and more than likely I just be the scientist dad who will want his kids to watch the christmas lectures.
