"All religions, including Buddhism, stem from
our narcissistic wish to believe that the
universe was created for our benefit, as a
stage for our spiritual quests. In contrast, 
science tells us that we are incidental, 
accidental. Far from being the raison d'être
of the universe, we appeared through sheer
happenstance, and we could vanish in the same
way. This is not a comforting viewpoint, but
science, unlike religion, seeks truth
regardless of how it makes us feel.  Buddhism
raises radical questions about our inner and
outer reality, but it is finally not radical
enough to accommodate science's disturbing
perspective. The remaining question is whether
any form of spirituality can."
