<![CDATA[Modern science gets mixed responses from religious figures. This is motivated by a reading of religious text which is often inconsistent with recent scientific research. The advancement of science is not connected with the increase of spirituality. Spirituality becomes another dimension of science. In that situation, the integration theory of Ian G.
