HuffingtonPost.com just published another one of my articles.
It begins:
“I grew up in a scientifically oriented home, which included a father who was an electrical engineer and a brother who was a Ph.D. in modern physics. I double majored in honors physics and mathematics in undergrad, and was essentially an atheist. My life pursuit has been for knowledge. I didn’t really care what I found out.

HuffingtonPost.com just published another one of my articles. It begins:
"There are many approaches to spirituality, religious practices, and self-help techniques. Are any of them really valid? How do we go about trying to answer that question?
