Depending on how liberally one interprets Hinduism and the Abrihamic faiths they also fit well with our understanding of the basic nature of the universe. Additionally, all religions are "a way of life". I think you're seeing only what you want to, Yan. Holy shit, this may be the first time I've ever actually addressed you on anything... wow.

I enjoyed Joe Rogan's rant/joke about evolution. It's on his myspace.

Originally posted by Moral Hazard In what way is Buddhism not an organized religion? Additionally, how exactly does re-incarnation go hand in hand with what science has taught us? Finally, in what way does our not being unique negate any other religion?

For the first question, read my reply to Lira.

Secondly, it's not the concept of re-incarnation that a normal person would think of. At its most basic, we are created from atoms that all have uniform "pieces" that make us who we are. Only a handful of elements make organic matter (not exceeding 10). Many of these elements will, even after our death, become part of some sort of life via one of many paths. So, in essence, it's this "re-incarnation" that makes so much sense to me (and quite a few scientists that I've interviewed over the past few months). Buddhism (at least one form) also believes in nondualism, the idea that there is not many nor one (form = emptiness, emptinessm = form) and here's where science really grabs you: What are we but energy in its most basic state? The entropic universe is an amazing thing and, hidden under layers of what many would see as "religious meaning", Buddhism finds a great way of relaying the nature of everything.


Don't follow what you're asking with the third question. Could you possibly rephrase?

Personally, I believe that each thing that exists was created by its very own god.

Screw Occam's Razor!

Joe Rogan's DMT experience report = awesome
