A Hindu Perspective: Science vs. Spirituality

[Homeless Nutter]

Spirituality can never be understood by science. [...]

You can't possibly know that, let alone prove that bold assertion. Anthropological sciences, like neurology, psychology, sociology and psychiatry have already taught a lot about where magical thinking and superstitions come from and how they work.

Of course - that doesn't mean much to people, who desperately want to believe in some sort of extra-sensory reality, that's easily accessible, without the need for dealing with all those boring facts and tedious scientific methodology.

Spirituality - it seems to me - is a way for people, who are not willing, or unable to access and comprehend science, to feel like they possess some kind of "arcane knowledge", that escapes even the smartest scientists. It's a crutch for ego. That's why science produces material results - like medicine, technology, statistical data, while spirituality fails to produce anything, other than emotions.
