Although I do not claim a religion I have to say stick up for Hinduism. Hinduism is truly a beautiful religion. Not only is it full of science, but it just so happens to be the only religion to pray to a female embodiment of God. Most people think that Hindus worship 100's of Gods, but it is actually more deep than that. They worship God differently...but only ONE God. Hindus do not believe in 100's of Gods. Either way, Hinduism, unlike Christianity, attains the utmost respect for women. Women are not demanded in any Hindu holy book to be the man's slave. Besides being the oldest religion in the world it is also the most peaceful one. Buddhism is also similar, but few know that Buddha himself was raised in a Hindu home. Anyway, the answer to your question is yes, Hinduism is very scientific.

True main line Christians believe in science. There are fundamental Christians that take things to far and put people rules into things and those are who you have a difficult time with....what I have a difficult time with are people in this forum that express a narrow idea or point of view from either side and try to come across as if they know or understand something and really do not....I realize that many are here just to try and entertain themselves by bugging someone else (children will be children I guess), others don't want to take the time to be informed either way and live in their own little sheltered lives with their limited experiences and that is what they try to express as expert facts on here....

Yes it is. And It is definitely not cult. With the knowledge about that religion some people came to answer here. I feel sorry for them.
Hinduism lacks any unified system of beliefs and ideas. It is a phenomenon and represents a broad spectrum of beliefs and practices which on one hand are akin to paganism, pantheism and the like, and on the other very profound, abstract, metaphysical ideas.

Since religion and culture are nearly interchangeable terms in Hinduism, emotive expressions like 'bhakti' (devotion) or 'dharma' (what is right) and 'yoga' (discipline) are used to depict essential aspects of the religion. Hinduism believes in idol worship, reincarnation, 'karma', 'dharma' and 'moksha'. Some moral ideals in Hinduism include non-violence, truthfulness, friendship, compassion, fortitude, self-control, purity and generosity. Human life is divided into four stages, and there are defined rites and rituals for each stage from birth till dealth.

God: both principle and person:

Hinduism is sometimes called a polytheistic religion, but strictly speaking, this is not entirely accurate. Hinduism believes in One God, but recognizes that the One God can appear to humans in multiple names and forms.

The four pursuits of life:

Hinduism recognizes four legitimate pursuits in life, known as puruṣhārthas. The four puruṣhārthas are:

kāma (satisfying the desire for sense pleasure)
artha (acquisition of worldly possessions or money)
dharma (observance of religious duties)
moká¹£ha (liberation achieved through God-realization)
Among these, kama is considered the lowest because this urge is common to both man and animals, and because it is rooted in selfishness. Artha is higher because it is mainly observed in humans, and can be performed for unselfish reasons. Dharma is higher than kama and artha because it is inherently based on unselfishness, and moksha is the highest because God-realization is the ultimate goal of life, whose attainment results in lasting happiness and perfect unselfishness. Moksha is also known as Mukti, Samādhi (union with God), Nirvāṇa, or escape from Samsāra (the cycle of births and deaths). However, even kama and artha are considered legitimate pursuits, so long as they are performed responsibly, as intermediate stages on the path to the realization of God. Thus it is said that artha and kama are to be pursued like a river which is bounded by dharma and moksha on the two sides.

It seems unlikely; if it did, it would be more than a religion. But I am not sufficiently familiar with it to make a definite claim.

Hiduism is like Einstein's statement

"Either everything is miracle or nothing is miracle"

If you see from surface then everything you will see are miracles, but if you dig deep then you will find those miracles are not only miracles.

Confusing?

I think it is full of too many FALSE "godS!"
Jesus is the ONLY God we can trust. Without Him, we cannot see the Father.
