Dr. Brian Swimme
Brian Swimme is at the forefront of a new movement- The Universe Story-that integrates Science and Spirituality The Universe Story, often called the New Story, is a cosmological narrative that begins with the big bang, which started the whole process, and works through the evolution of the Universe, which includes life on Earth.
