Consequently, if one seeeks absolutes, one may be entering spirituality, because even though nature might be an absolute and structured machanism (or might not), individual humans cannot state that is is an absolute reality because we are limited to our reasoning process, which is always provisional as to truth - its just a process towards greater satisfaction.

Why would the "spiritual" nature of a hypothesis render it more certain? Or have I misunderstood you?
