John Templeton Foundation - Answering Big Questions

So this article links to the website of this group, which throws big money at research into life's big questions. It seems like a lot of these deal with reconciling God and Science, but I think that is just the topic for this year, since a lot of the published works deal with economics.. John Templeton Foundation

Educational Technology
The Templeton Foundation was started in 1987 in order "to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life'sbiggest questions". Over the years, these questions have included investigations into the laws of nature and the universe, along with thenature of love, gratitude, forgiveness and creativity.

This is especially interesting to me since I met Templeton at a conference in the Bahamas on Free Enterprise and how it helps (allegedly) the world's social problems (I took this photo). I leaned quite a bit more left in this area before the conference, but I see where a lot of their ideas have merits, so, YAY CAPITALISM! However, does the website remind you of the Hanso Foundation at all?
