The annual Templeton Prize is the richest prize given to any individual in the world for research and discoveries into spiritual realities. This year's winner is Professor Michael Heller, a Polish priest, mathematician and cosmologist. The Templeton Foundation says his work has 'pushed the metaphysical horizons of science', and that he believes the 'mathematical nature of the world offers circumstantial evidence of God's existence.'
