"If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview."
-Tenzin Gyatso, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
I replaced Buddhism with my own spiritual beliefs. I like the idea that science and faith need to work together to understand the universe. Religion should not stay five hundred yards away from science at all times.*
It's part of the reason my novel has elements of both magic and science, working in harmony.

FYI: A conservative news outlet is celebrating the Earth's 6010th birthday http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=57900&6010 (based on the Arch Bishop of Ussher's infamous Biblical calculations). Way to go, World Nut Daily! I suspect that they might be a satire site like the Onion except if so they are disguising it well.

Dang, I can't have a cookie. That's okay, though, we baked our own.
