Talking about religion, this is a very sensitive thing that can't be commented or criticized because this can lead to conflict and friendship loss no matter that religion is reasonable or not. For example, people in the past DEEPLY believed that disease came from the will of god so they SERIOUSLY performed a ceremony for the god to be satisfied and blessed them with no disease. But nowadays we know the disease comes from virus or bacteria. So just take medical treatment can cure it with no use to perform any ceremony. Suppose we have time machine and went to the past when people DEEPLY believed in god of disease and told them about medicine and the unnecessity to perform ceremony, it'd be a good bet that you would be killed. So religion is an EXTREMELY SENSITIVE thing no matter it is reasonable or not. Can u tell me which religion is the most reasonable, scientific and applicable to the law of nature? I think it is Buddhism. I really have a pity on those who get to the wrong belief.

You must walk a path to know how it fits with you. It seems that most if not all religions hold the same universal truths. They have just illustrated in a manner that their people would be willing to accept. As long as one follows the path that was intended for them, they should find peace. This would be given that they do not allow modern rhetoric to confuse the path that was laid out. If the path is to polluted it is fine to change paths or even forge a new one based on these same truths.

I agree Buddhism is the best.
It doesn't dispute evolution.
There's an emphasis on trying it out and proving it's validity for yourself, rather than just taking someones word that it's valid.
There sometimes is blind faith involved, e.g. some believe in the law of karma but you don't have to have blind faith to be a Buddhist. E.g. you can just emphasise meditation, and not believe in karma.
It is reasonable, or at least it aims to be.

Nature is the only rigidity that supplies for ALL existence kinds without discrimination. faith is in simple terms too unique to ever embody the entire worldwide, it is ironic while each and every faith claims their god 'loves all' or 'knows all' or 'created all'. Nature is the only rigidity got here upon in the time of the universe, in assessment to any god.

I agree with you.
Once someone asked Buddha, "what do you teach?". Buddha replied, "I teach cause and effect". Cause and effect, the basic of Science -- to prove the causes of all things.
However, Science has so far neglected the area of 'mind'. Science is dependent of our 5 senses (sight, hearing etc), and is thus unable to look into areas that is beyond these 5 senses.
Karma, as taught by Buddha, is not blind faith (as mentioned above). It is according to the law of cause and effect. Granted, Science has not been able to prove it (because it is beyond our 5 senses). It is a 'faith', but it is not a 'blind faith' because the explanation of Karma is logical. When one becomes a Buddhist Saint, he will be able to see Karma effect clearly too. There is a way to prove it, it is a matter of one's ability to do so.
If one believes in nothing but Science, I consider that as a 'blind faith' in Science too -- because old law got thrown out with new discoveries, and so how can we take them as the ultimate truth?

Study it.
Buddhism may be the best one or not,
let people study it by them self, then they can select by them self that what is good for them.
The important thing is not that the other people select the right way or not. It is how you to make a profit to your self and other people from your right decision one.

Not even scientists know the law of nature. Everything is a theory until it is proven otherwise. Whatever you believe is real for you until you believe otherwise.
It doesn't matter what you believe. Christians have had near death experiences and say they saw Jesus. Buddhists have had them but saw Buddha. Whatever you believe is the reality you create for yourself. If you believe you are going to hell you will create a hell for yourself to suffer in. If you believe you are going to heaven then you will create one for yourself.
All we know is that we are energy.

most religions don't restrict themselves to reason, science and nature. that's one definition of religion, isn't it? various flavors of buddhism have just as much emphasis on the supernatural as other religions do; i think you can find relatively naturalistic flavours of all major religions.

There is no such thing as a reasonable, scientific and applicable religion.
Try Atheism.
