Science _is_ an incomplete description of reality -- at least for those of
us who acknowledge that there is a spiritual side of reality.

Agreed. Perhaps it's time to throw a party. I don't know when Stephen and
I have agreed so completely.
One small caveat: I don't think Christians should wait for scientists to
make the above disclaimer. People like Sagan and Dawkins won't because
they don't accept it. Organizations like AAAS and NAS won't, because their
members have differing views, and besides it's outside their charter.
Christians should make it. That's our job.
