Interestingly enough if you check into exactly who Guatama Buddha was in his life time you will find that among other things he was a very well educated scientific thinker and observer .
He also wrote in Dharma-Parda:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded upon our thoughts. It is made up of our thoughts."
This concept is the most senior in relation to ANY materialistic theories.
Also if you really research what Darwin actually wrote about his research and theories you will find that even he was simply putting forward a possible theory and knew he did not have absolute proof.
He also had unanswered questions.
The other interesting point is that during Darwins lifetime the "genetic theory" boys and those with vested interests, (who paid them), were looking for a way to justify slavery of the blacks or ***** races and used his theories to degrade these people as "lower" on the "evolutionary" chain. i.e. closer to monkeys. (smaller brains....etc)
So his "theories" of man from monkey were broadly "supported" and promoted as scientific fact.
Darwin actually never proved this scientifically, it was speculation only.
There is an observable interrelationship to existence. There is cause and effect. There are viewpoints and dimension points
and communication between these.
This is what Buddha observed.
Survival is the apparent primary common denominator of all life forms, plants, insects, fish, animals, homo sapiens....
Given this you can extrapolate certain appearances and disappearances of certain life forms, which Darwin did observe.
But man from monkey............. even Darwin knew it was a bit of a stretch........ to say the least.
The fundemental knowledge of life that we call Buddhism here in the West is part of a long history of religious sacred lore that goes back more than 10,000 years. This is about our true spiritual nature and our relationship to the Material Universe.
If you are looking for spiritual answers in terms of material universe rationalization you are going down the wrong road no matter what "religion" you look into.
All religious philosophy, Messiahs (teachers, messengers) try to teach us the fact that mankind , life itself... is something more than the material universe.

Depends on what theories you believe. In Christianity, "Let there be light" sounds an awful lot like the Big Bang. The Buddhist thory of everything being an illusion sounds like the Holographic Universe theory. String Theory speaks of other dimensions or planes of existence such as the Hindu, Buddhist, and other eastern beliefs. But all of these things are still theories just like religions are not proven.

Someone above me answered, why are there no known Muslims scientists now. Why are they hiring low technology. If u go to Saudi Arabia and there is a centre somewhere where there is the latest technology applied for times of Haj. I saw it on BBC two years ago.
Why haven't Muslims progressed??? Because since the time of Khalifas, we have just been sitting and throwing mud at ourselves and talking rubbish about waging war on everyone and everything which Islam DOES not permit. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlIfWkVXAQblinEZOEKTerLsy6IX?qid=20060728234221AA1GLqQ So anyway, everyone kept sitting and everything n no one did anything. But now, (it does not seem so) Muslims all over the world are waking up and striving hard and studying hard. One day, if it pleases and be the wish of Almighty, Muslims will be on top of the world.

For sure, its Islam ............. scientific revelations occurring today have already been foretold by ALLAH Almighty (GOD) in the Quran (Holy Book) 14 centuries ago, which is miracle in its own ........... Islam & Science are in conciliation not contradiction. It encompasses from embryology to human behavioral psychology, from geology to facts abt water-cycle to blowing of the winds and so on and on and on .......... and many a facts still undiscovered by science as its not mature enough to comprehend all the facts mentioned in Islam, but m pretty much sure, science will make revelations sooner and later, which have already been foretold in Islam.

Buddhist metaphysics fits the bill for the new confusions in quantum theory, string theory and even has a touch of chaos theory to it. I love reading Budhist metaphysics and Western Physics and have seen such a common trend between the two.
And Islam does not have all the answers-no way is the one true way.

As clear as mud. If you're refering to Islam, why do Arab nations consistantly buy inferior technology (Russian MIGs)? Where is the Islamic Space Program? The fact is, Europeans took Islamic science, and added several centuries of research. Think about it, what has Islam done in the last five centuries of science...zip...because they submitt...they don't ask questions...they reject new thoughts...

None of them, as Atheism and Buddhism are more of philosophies than religions. But yes, the question (and answer, if that's what you meant,) is clear (but not capitalized, in the case of the former.)
