Spirituality and Science... Mutually exclusive?
I don't think so.

I am one of the most spiritual people you could ever meet, and *gasp* science is part of my spirituality!

Ever see "Mind Walk" ?

1. Feeling a oneness with all around you can be expressed through
science.

There doesn't need to be a supernatural when natural is a construct of our perception.

4. I'm athiest...
...but at the same time, I'm not to quick to equate everything with matter.

The idea that arranging atoms in a certain way (actually, several different ways... all brains are different) can "construct" a consciousness is a little out there to me.

5. For me, it's a matter of all things having a vibration at some level.
the interconnectedness is overwhelming. I love it.
