RE: Is religion as acceptable as science?
@haxins There is a widespread assumption that science and religion are incompatible with each other; it may be acceptable for a scientist to practise religion, but--it is believed--this should be seen as despite, not because of his or her scientific profession and knowledge. Such an assumption is wrong. Examination of conflicts between science and religion (such as those about evolution) show that they always arise through misinterpretation or tenacious presuppositions!!!
@rhn268 Thanks! This widespread assumption started from the west where scientists were killed by the church just for stating the fact that the earth is round or it revolves around Sun. These are not true for Dharmic religions. Yet, we all are educated in western philosophy and basically repeat the words of Europeans. We should stop for a while and think why religion and science could not co-exist. Everyone should read Bhagvad Gita and then comment regarding the authority of its knowledge.
its really true...srimad bhagvatgita has really changed the life of not only commoners but top and real life heroes as well...
