Your thoughts were well written and interesting!

    Studying physics has revealed to me that the universe is stranger than any work of fiction.
Absolutely - stranger and much more complicated than theistic explanations (if the work of fiction you are referring to was Genesis).

"Spiritual" is a word used to describe an altered state, a state of greater awareness of the unity of all things, a state of humility, a state of revelation, a very idiosyncratic, personal state. I also doubt we'll ever figure it all out.
