Today, we had a discussion where we talked abt the biasness of science and the notion of showing how the other's belief is flawed. It was interesting to see how each one of us analysed the whole situation according to our own sets of beliefs.

Some say that science is biased because it is based on the assumption of how we as human beings intepret the world around us based on our senses which is true!
Some say it is impossible to analyse something without first establishing the truth in some 'assumptions'. Which I totally agree too.
So how should we live our lives? Actually more often than not, i find myself leading my life taking the assumptions eg. 'science as the truth' if not, how do we move on? There is nothing to build upon to come to a next step or conclusion.
Even in Buddhism, they always say middle path, middle path, empty but not empty. Do not hold yourself to a concept, beyond concepts. The ultimate, while saying it as the ultimate is wrong. A Buddha nature exists in everyone which is permenant but nothing is permenant.. When was it there? However strange this may seem, believe me,this makes perfect sense. If you do not get it, never mind. Do not be too concerned because this is purely garbage.
In any religion, we have to start from somewhere, some fundamental building block which can be said as an assumption. In saying so, i mean, if we say to experience things to know it is true and real , and not because of tradition or teachers. That is based on the fact the the experience you have is accurate, which is truely not, as experience is a relative thing. But nevertheless, it is the one and only most accurate yardstick that we as human beings have.
