Does Modern Science Owe Its Existence to Religion?

The New Testament is the best preserved book of antiquity on earth, I have no reason to doubt what Jesus was said to have done and said.


Quote: Well, scripture only really deals with one aspect of human nature which is our propensity for evil deeds. Buddhism deals with other aspects such as emotional control, fear of death, and happiness. It teaches practical real world applications for dealing with these conditions instead of otherworldly answers. To me, Buddhism is more precise in its definition of human nature and what to do about it.

Scripture addresses all of those things as well. Our soils scientist here where I work is a Buddhist and he believes all of reality is an illusion, that doesn't seem real practical to me. Smile

The only thing I'd miss would be the comedy value of your posts. That's about it.

I would miss yours as well. Smile
