Science Without Religion
Without having moral ideals, science posses a danger to all mankind. Science has made the machine which in turn becomes king. The bullet and bomb are the gifts of science to the few in power on whom the destiny of the world depends. Meanwhile the rest of mankind waits in anguish and fear, not knowing when the nuclear weapons, the poisonous gases, the deadly arms – all fruits of scientific research designed to kill efficiently – will be used on them. Not only is science completely unable to provide moral guidance to mankind, it has also fed fuel to the flame of human craving.
Science devoid of morality spells only destruction: it becomes the draconian monster man discovered. And unfortunately, this very monster is becoming more powerful than man himself. Unless man learns to restrain and govern the monster through the practice of religious morality, the monster will soon overpower him. Without religious guidance, science threatens the world with destruction. In contrast, science when coupled with a religion like Buddhism can transform this world into a haven of peace, security and happiness.
Never was there a time when the cooperation between science and religion is so desperately needed for the best interest and service of mankind. Religion without science is blind, while science without religion is crippled.
The wisdom of Buddhism founded on compassion has the vital role of correcting the dangerous direction modern science is heading for. Buddhism can provide the spiritual leadership to guide scientific research and invention in promoting a brilliant culture of the future. Buddhism can provide worthy goals for scientific advancement which presently is facing a hopeless impasse of being enslaved by its very inventions.
Albert Einstein paid a tribute to Buddhism when he said, “If there is any religion that would cope with modern scientific needs, it would be Buddhism”. Buddhism requires no revision to keep it ‘up to date’ with recent scientific findings. Buddhism need not surrender its views to science because it embraces science as well as goes beyond science. Buddhism bridges between religious and scientific thoughts by stimulating man to discover the latent potentialities within himself and his environment. Buddhism is timeless!
