Science typically refers people to Philosophy when such subjects are brought up. But yet they know that there are profound metaphysical implications of the physics of the last century, and since the spiritual interpretations don't conflict with the science, it doesn't quite seem in harmony with their otherwise neutral and inquisitive state of mind.
Science, after all, is supposed to be about Truth -- regardless of whether it conforms to any popular model. And their model of reality would make us all automatons, would it not, if governed only by the laws of physics?
