The Network of Spiritual Progressives is an organization centered on the vision of a world that thrives on a culture of generosity. This kind of culture would counteract greed, violence, indifference, and cynicism, and would help address some of the core issues behind terrorism: poverty, suffering, inequality and religious intolerance. This is an endeavor for a shift in consciousness, one that will take discipline, deep listening and the courage to hope.

Maybe God is an Artist with no science background. It would help explain a lot of the way things are today.
