The same interpretation holds for telepathy and other paranormal phenomena. The current materialistic wisdom is that it is impossible to transfer information via quantum non-locality. This theorem, attributed to Phillipe Eberhard, does not apply, however, when consciousness is involved. The new science thus validates paranormal phenomena which play an important role in spiritual traditions and practices. The new science is also helping us to establish ethics again, a science of ethics.
Creativity is a field of endeavor in which science has already made considerable contribution.
Now the road is clear for science to make contributions to spirituality as well. The question of territoriality comes up. I think there is. Scientific research can explain how, it can even answer some why questions, but spirituality most needs exemplars and teachers, It is these latter areas that make religion indispensable.
