Brilliant, getcha-thinkin' synergy of science and spirituality.

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 1998)

For far too long, the realms of Science and Religion have remained diametrically opposed, with each side refusing to acknowledge even an ephemera of truth in the other side's arguments. "Pi" is one of the pitifully few media representations which manages to INTELLIGENTLY present the spiritual side of science and the empirical side of spirituality.

While largely theory and/or fiction, "Pi" nonetheless makes a strong case for explaining the connection between a Creator and his methodology. We have determined the nature and physics of many things in the universe, and while we have yet far more to explain than that which we already know, we must realize that it is concievable that it could be possible to see how God runs things. Is there an upper limit to what we can know? Do we have the capability to become too close to God? With time, can we come to know so thoroughly what the universe is and does that we would no longer need God?
We need a truce between academia and ecclesiastica. "Pi" could be one of the first tiny steps in just that direction.
