toward greater understanding of a far larger domain than the place and time of our birth. This is more than an intellectual puzzle to us; we find ourselves in a world where we sense we are more than casual visitors or drive-through patrons. We have a home, an origin, a purpose in mortality, and a future in the cosmos, bound to larger realities than merely natural processes. One of those larger realities toward whom we incline may reasonably be posited as God.
