This may sound a little strange, but I find that 'science,' or the study of the natural world, pushes *my* spiritual buttons. I'm not a very religious person, but dote on this: a nifty example that there might be a 'predetermined order' to the Cosmos, or a cosmic plan, possibly created by some higher being if that's what you believe, is the periodic table. Sometimes I think it's an awfully unlikely coincidence that all the natural elements can be sorted in order of atomic mass in such a pattern, and the elements in every vertical column in the table behave in similar ways to each other, and so on. For other such musings on the intersection of philosophy, religion, and science (quantum physics to be exacty) I would recommend "The Dancing Wu Li Masters" by Gary Zukav. In a nutshell, it's a plain-English explanation of most of quantum physics (as far as I know yet, I'm just a college student), and how there is no spoon. :)
