A Hindu Perspective: Science vs. Spirituality

[robvalue]

We have thousands of years of people saying things about spirituality. That doesn't mean any of it is true. This is the appeal to popularity fallacy which I discuss here. I've talked to hundreds of people about it and not one has been able to define it without using meaningless metaphors.

Until I have a way of distinguishing whatever it is from nothing, then for all practical purposes it is nothing to me.

I'd like to know how anyone knows anything about it, if there can be no evidence for it. This reduces everything to personal experience only, and I'm not going to believe anything someone says they have experienced without evidence. Anything that can't be independently verified is entirely unreliable. People say all kinds of nonsense all the time. Even my wife believes in ghosts. Sorry babe. I don't even believe her. People believe what they want to believe, and interpret their experiences to fit their preconceptions.
