Finally, A Temple of Science for Rational Belief

I heard about this a few weeks ago from Marcia Tanner via the Crumb new media curating list, and was completely intrigued by the idea - a temple to science, created by conceptual artist Jonathan Keats. I can't quite believe that no one has done this before. 

My favourite details about it relate to the fact that there are lofty stained glass windows which are "patterned to show the  cosmic microwave background radiation - capturing
the universe in the first  several hundred thousand years of creation - using NASA's new WMAP satellite  data."

I also like that the music is composed as "a canon  for three cosmic voices titled "Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing?"". This of course is a central question for those interested in radical theology or working from a background of speculative metaphysics.

Finally, it is safe to go to church...
