This is why I have argued for an interdependent marriage between science, spirituality, and philosophy. I don't think you've read my https://medium.com/@marcus17043/menage-a-trois-between-science-spirituality-and-philosophy-a634f5446364, subtitled "They should have a permanent and mutually satisfying interdependent polyamorous relationship," which contains,

"Science and spirituality can get married and have a healthy interdependent relationship when we recognize each as a valid direction that may lead to the same destination — the truth. Moreover, in order for the marriage to work, they each need to accept that they may never be able to know everything and thus each might always be a little right and mostly wrong," and concludes with:

"Envisioning a three-dimensional representation of the marriage between science, philosophy, and spirituality, first I saw an equilateral triangle. Then I wondered whether a golden ratio triangle exists, and it does — an isosceles triangle where the ratio of each side “a” to base “b” equals the golden ratio. ...

I see the shorter base of the golden-ratio-isosceles-triangle representing science and the other two equal-length sides representing philosophy and spirituality, as I think that we need to allocate more force to philosophy and spirituality to counterbalance the favored discipline of science.

I have also thought about a pyramid constructed of four equilateral triangles and then the question becomes which discipline gets represented twice in the square interdependent foundation of that pyramid? I leave that decision up to each reader."
