this is actually funny and unlike of me--battlefield earth!!!

see if i can get and read a copy

absolutely correct! Buddhism per se is non-theistic religion. I don't call it religion, its a way of life. science and buddhism can existence hand in hand. thats why i chose to be one. buddha even said to question his teachings before agreeing to them.

i guess i need to know coming from you guys about your concepts of Science, Evidence and God.. I just wanted to see if we can set of definitions for each terms

what is the meaning of "science"? how does science states the evidence of things, including God? but first what does "God" means? please enlighten me?

I don't really mind.. I like the way people here are so vocal on their " principles " or "belief"-- as what has been said will find the gem of all of this. with an open mind and understanding

thanks! i hope i can find those treasures

I think there's a stone but it doesn't guarantee that it will be forever a stone. you have to consider the five agreggrates of skandhas-- 1) form or matter 2) sensation or feeling 3) perception or cognition 4) volition and 5) consciousness -- that why "Impermanence" is part of buddha's tea...

I've not found my old copy. I might buy a new one, hopefully a cheap one. Notice the dramtis personae at the beginning of the book-- In the beginning , the cast has been set for the play to begin and let the story march till the end. ( if there's any)

not really, last movie i watch was "the dark knight returns"-- question? is watching dvd movies count on this forum?
