Abstract
Religiopoiesis describes the crafting of religion, a core activity of humankind. Each religion is grounded in its myth, and each myth includes a cosmology of origins and destiny. The scientific worldview coheres as such a myth and calls for a religiopoietic response. The difficulThes, opportuniThes, and imperatives inherent in this call are explored, particularly as they impact the working scientist.
