Very good backwards reasoning on your part. Only those who living in "cold climates" will seek "scientific solution." Kindly list the scientific accomplishments of the Vikings here, as well as the reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. Then we can assess the validity of your "cold climate' rubbish.Quote:
I was thinking that the scientific development was fueled by the environmental difficulties faced by the people. Because the whites lived in a extremely cold conditions, they had to find "scientific solutions" to deal with their day to day life.

Anyway, my point here it is need for survival and not the language one speaks helped the 'sceintific developments" in the western part. Whereas we all had a 'decent weather" and spend more time in "philosophical" as pects of life rather than scientific developments
Weather does not affect intellectual outlook. How do you explain the Romans, Greeks, and Egyptians? Where do you think the "West" obtained a numerical system from?
The Westerners did not realize the importance of bathing until the 18th century. That is why, in the 14th century, a disease called the "Black Plague" wiped out millions of Europeans. The West did not heavily invest in science until the so-called "Renaissance." Before the "Renaissance", it was thought in the same "West" that the Sun goes around the Earth. Are these the scientific accomplishments you are referring to? Now, these facts were all well-known in the East for thousands of years. Not just but China as well. Only a fool will presume to think that the rest of the world will sit idly by, waiting 14 centuries for some lice-infected Westerner to convince the "Pope" that the Earth goes around the Sun.
Clowns like you will deny the importance of Vedic science, but in the same breath hold the Buddha as champion of all intellectual achievements. Where do you presume Buddha gained his knowledge from?
That is the whole point. Only uneducated unhygeneic barbarians will build huge boats and forcibly invade other nations. Why did the Chinese not build huge boats and invade other nations?Quote:
See, west never had people like BudhdhA. They just went after survival, kill anybody if you need to do that for your survival. They were more practical than philosophical like us.
I seem to have missed this. Didn't Archimedes deal with integration much earlier in the 3rd century BC?Quote:

First of all, no one can be held responsible for such sheer lack of grasp of real facts, except one's own cognitively degenerated, egocentric as well as geocentric biases.
Let me show and prove how and why.
Based on the chronological development of philosophical doctrines in India, the developments and evolution of religions in India, clearly and evidently show that the current form of Hinduism based on VedaAnta (literally means "The End of the Vedas") - i.e. Advaita, VishithaAdvaita, Dvaita, Bhagavad-Gita etc.-all came long after Buddha, except the four Vedas and a few minor Upanishads, the status and contents of which Buddha had categorically rejected long before gaining his world-famous enlightenment. In fact, Buddha was the first man on earth ever to have gained such status; and ironically, the Hindus themselves have treated him as Supreme God, the 10th avatar of Vishnu, which evidently proves the tremendous influence he commanded on the philosophical thinking of his time, long after that; and so he does that, even today.
It must be cearly born in mind that Buddha sermonised in Pali.
Since its establishment as the prime religion of India, Buddhism remained the prime source of all knowledge for intellectuals and common masses of India and also for the foreign students from abroad like Burma, Tibet, China, Japan and other eastern countries for over two millennia and half; and that way, Buddhism has also greatly influenced Taoism, Confucianism and other eastern philosophies; and it continues to do so.
After the great emperor Ashok adopted Buddhism, he spread Buddhism far beyond the boundaries of his huge empire. It were the Buddhists who founded the first two great universities of the world, namely Nalanda and Taxila Vishwa Vidyalayas, where studies in all branches of knowledge and intellectual inquiries were conducted and taught.
History clearly tells us that Buddhism along with the wealth of knowledge acuired during Buddhist period was either severly distorted or heedlessly destroyed from the soil of India.
Nonetheless, Buddhism is a major religious and ethical force in the world today, and it is the fastest-growing religion in Europe, North America; and even in India, it is coming back as a major force among the intellectual circles.
Unlike those fallacious claims, simply based on wishful thinking, these are the real and authentic facts about Buddha and Buddhism, accompanied by the references and clear evidences to support them; and ironically, they are very well verified by the very people who were/are intolerant and antagonistic towards Buddha and his teachings.
Therefore, there is no room for any dissent, unless one is severely degenerated cognitively and holds envious grudges towards the authenticity and great successes of the Buddhist doctrines, which opponents were more than happy to copy with their egocentric distortions but didn't want to accept them as they really were/are.
Isn't that disgraceful? I think, it really is.
:D :) :thumbsup:
Exactly like Einstein did.Quote:
Where do you presume Buddha gained his knowledge from?
By adopting a completely new, radical and broader world-view, more reflective of, and corresponding to, the facts, truths and reality coded in nature, Buddha completely overturned the existing fallacious beliefs that were based on completely narrow and/or false world-views; and developed an entirely new and self-reliant system of human inquiry that was/is consummately compatible with scientific inquiry.
Please, refer to my preceding post for more condensed details. :) :thumbsup:
The very fact is clearly expressed in the following famous quote of Einstein:
:D :) :thumbsup:Quote:
The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which is based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism.

What is the meaning of "backwards" here?Quote:
Very good backwards reasoning on your part.
Is that an "adjective" ?
Any moderator who edited SRS's POST can enlighten this to "clown"thamiz" here too!.
After all I am here to learn! I am waiting for an answer here! 8-)
Dear Thamiz you are absolutely right, this belated member of the flock such as SRS knows zilch about civilised manners and behaviours, forget altogether he ever knowing anything scientific. The reason is very simple, such belated individulas have been specifically inculcated and habituated to just feed on fallacies; there is nothing whatsoever more to it than that. :) :thumbsup:
Who is the real imbecile here? Whoever is claiming that a 5000 year old civilization has no scientific legacy should know the answer.
And now I have posed the ultimate challenge to them: Where did Buddha gain his knowledge from?
Look at the desperate response:
Quote:

Examining the fallacies in the above:
1. Buddha had no contact with the West
2. Buddha was born as a Hindu prince
3. One does not gain scientific knowledge through osmosis
4. Any education Buddha had was via classical Vedantic and or other Hindu teachings
Therefore, one is forced to conclude that scientific knowledge in India was alive and well before the time of Buddha as no human being can invent such a vast, diverse body of knowledge in one lifetime, regardless of any world-view or other such rubbish the atheist crowd may desperately try to posit.
Thus, totally shattering to pieces yet again the desperate arguments of the atheists.
:lol:
Rohit: I am trying not attacking "personally"! So I am careful not doing the same.
However I really like to know few things clear.
I am asking as politely as I can, where I had been often advised by them NOT TO GET PERSONAL in a public warning by Mr. Badri in the same forum!
I wonder why SRS is not getting such public warning for attacking me unnecessarily in hte middle of nowhere!
I stongly believe the moderators here are human beings and not Gods. They are civilized and educated and not partial and beleiving in democracy and braod-minded
And they are kind enough to educate "clown thamz" (I have been honerd by SRS for trying to understand some facts)!
* Why this guy is using the term "backward" here?
* Why it is allowed to use on me?
* After all being IGNORANT like me is not a CRIME, right?
MODERATOR must answer this question. Dont ban me for asking some questions!
