10 Ideas from Sacred Scripts that Seem to Align with Science





I imagine science, religion, mysticism, and philosophy like friends trying to understand the world and the bigger universe. Science likes to collect proof to generate knowledge. Religion, mysticism, and philosophy, on the other hand, are more about thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and intuition, giving us valuable insights. Science is fantastic at explaining a lot of stuff mechanistically, but there are some things, like why we’re aware and how we think, that it can’t fully explain. This is when we need other information sources like instinct and intuition. That’s where religions and mystical practices come in. They can fill those gaps and answer questions that science can’t. But it depends on each person as these teachings cannot provide hard-core evidence like science. In this post, I will discuss some engaging and thought-provoking concepts that both science books and religious texts like the Bible (various versions), Quran, Torah, or the Bhagavad Gita talk about. They give us clues, but of course, none of them are conclusive in our current understanding. Learning is a never-ending process, and we keep exploring. I believe we know what we knew a thousand years ago. I imagine we will know more in the 33rd or 50th century. Even though these sacred texts give us moral and spiritual lessons, not everything in them is meant to be a science lesson. Some parts might sound like what science says, but they’re not trying to replace science textbooks.Remember, everyone might see these things differently. Some folks might think science and religion are like puzzle pieces that fit together, while others see them as separate pieces of a bigger picture. It’s like asking different friends for advice — they might give you different answers, and that’s okay. In this post, I’d like to briefly introduce my thoughts from discussions with friends from science, religious, mystic, and philosophical…
