We do not live in several different, or even two different, worlds, a mental world and a physical world, a scientific world and a world of common sense. Rather, there is just one world; it is the world we all live in, and we need to account for how we exist as part of it.

All these are nothing when compared with the glory which shall be revealed in and for us. I never made a sacrifice.
