What's the most scientifically-accurate religion and why is it Bhuddism.

On the subject of the spirituality of science....

I've been thinking about this picture. What if we put psychology on the right side of mathematics. Now I'm NOT suggesting psychology is more pure than math, but hear me out.

Think about it this way, all those fields, other than math and psychology, are based on 100% physical reality. Math is a bit of both, meaning you can have real numbers and quantify the universe with math, but you can also do stuff with math that's physically impossible in reality. Math can exist in the physical universe and purely as thought at the same time.

Now psychology deals with things that have no corporeal state in this reality. There is nothing in psychology that can be 100% accurately quantified with biology or chemistry. With this in mind I think psychology belongs on the far right side, and math would be the exact middle ground between the physical world and the world of pure thought and spirituality. Mathematics has more in common with our souls than chemistry and physics, and this is why science hasn't been able to prove the existence of a soul. Science has been trying to quantify something that exists in the world of pure thought, with the tools used to quantify stuff in the world of physical reality.

Since math is the bridge between both, what if we tried quantifying the soul with pure mathematics?

If you were to upload all your memories, thoughts, personalities, habitats into a robot that's a prefect replica of a human, or into a computer simulation, you'd for the most part be intact. Even tho your no longer part of your original body, you still think and therefore you are. Your memories are intact so you're not changed. If that's not in essence a soul, I don't know what is.

Actually Buddhism seems to have been the first belief system to embrace empiricism. And at least regarding the nature of perception, etc. it's more or less congruent with modern neuroscience, i.e. the idea that you're really observing your actions more than actively directing them, and rather than being an autonomous individual, you're actually defined by and inseparable from the rest of the universe.

It's more that there's nothing there beyond neurology. You could copy or simulate neurology, but there's no separate, intangible lifeforce or whatever there that's somehow occupying and controlling it.

IIRC the Kabalah speaks of different planets and galaxies among other things despite having been written in the 2nd century
Additonally, they've been cleaning, washing and eating properly for thousands of years. One of the reasons they got blamed for the black death was because compared to the average 14th century peasant they were fairly healthy and thus less susceptible to the plague

Not entirely true. There are two main types of Buddhism and one essentially believes in Buddha as being the saviour and that if you call upon him he will save you and bring you to a garden where it is summer all of the time. Or you can just go around the wheel of death for all eternity, you now whatever your into.

this is false, also scientists do not rely on what they experience, they rely on tools that some guy creates and on some model ''modeling'' the tool, then they relay on statistics
