Is there a place for religious thought in the microscopic world?
Abstract
We propose a reflection on the relationship between religious thought and the discovery and unfolding of the microscopic world through the following journey. First we ask: ¿How could religion contribute to our interaction with the microscopic world? Here we will recall how cosmic visions related with different religions set the ground on the interaction between different levels of organization. Then we will answer the question: What can the microscopic world offer to religious thought? Here we will propose that religious thought should commit itself to the discovery and unfolding of the microscopic world.
