Science and religion represent two distinct approaches to understanding the world.
The premise that religion needs to be updated is ludicrous. Changing the principals to accommodate the masses makes no sense. Faith is a powerful thing, as is science. We are often wrong in the lab, Jesus was ALWAYS right.
I totally agree
I personally divide human attempts to deal with our existence into deity based religion, eastern spiritual guidance, and science.
Of the three, science continuously tests hypothesis against discovered, though sometimes disputed, facts.
Eastern guidance is also mostly open to personal discovery.
Deity is usually a lot more closed.
I respect all except when an attempt is made to impose a belief system on me.
Science is more of an acceptance rather than a belief system.
Long way to say thanks for this post.
How does mindfulness, meditation, Buddhaism, Zen and other spiritual experiences interact with a person's biological and behavioral
health?
The "Aha" moment can tip a person positively or negatively depending on how the twig has been bent and the total load being carried.
Or how can an unbalanced wheel spin without wobbling?
Wheel weights?
