Synopsis

The Wonder of It All explores the history of spirit based faiths and examines the future of faith in a time of reason and science. Every faith was founded upon unverified stories of spirits speaking with humans. Humans, then and now, accept these stories, not on proof, but upon a decision to simply believe. Over the last two thousand years, however, humans have made vast discoveries in the fields of reason, science, the universe and ourselves. Yet, the belief in spirits remains unchanged. Today, Americans and Europeans, believe in a God (and Holy Spirit) that intervenes in response to prayer, works miracles and influences our political system.Many of these same people, however, are practical, evidence based thinkers. They trust the scientific method. How do they reconcile their trust in science with a belief in spirits and miracles? Research surveys show that here is an underlying skepticism. Modern reason and science are summoning millions away from an un-empirical faith founded upon spirits. The pace of these changes is accelerating - led by millennials. The impact is going to be felt, not just by organized religion, but in law, politics, governance and our culture.The Wonder of It All explores spirit based faiths and and their enormous impact on history. It then asks, what happens if we ceased believing in spirits? How would we decide right from wrong, identify moral standards and govern ourselves? Could we make improved moral progress? Is there a future for faith - finding meaning in life - based upon just reason and science? What would it look like? The Wonder of It All, attempts to answer these questions - leading us to appreciate this marvelous world.
