Buddhism and Science


As i was scrolling around the internet searching to find out more about buddhism i stumbled upon a book called "Buddhism and Science"  ( Book on google ). That officially intrigued my mind. 





 The last years i have been more and more distant from religion. Maybe it was perhaps that now i can understand more about us, universe and how we became what we are. And of course i do not have anything with people who believe in any God. I know that the mankind wants to believe in something above him for a lot of reasons and one of it is hope. Maybe it is more of a tradition nowadays than a belief.
 Once Albert Einstein said ”The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend a personal God and avoid dogmas and theology" Check out the full article :New York Times November 9,1930 Einstein about religion and science
   Peter Harrison from University of Oxford said about this book : ”This fascinating book provides a new way of understanding the various discussions of Buddhism and science that have taken place over the past 150 years. Lopez not only gives an account of the diverse claims made for the scientific credibility of Buddhism, but in the process offers deep insights into the complex relations among science, religion, and Western modernity."
