    :sorry: yes, but,

    i think scientific method is more 'believable'

    scientific method has it's own core doctrines which aren't visible at the first glance. it's possible that those set of doctrines could fail to entail all possible situation in its descriptions.

    yes, but no need of science.
    we can rule out religions using philosophical reasoning.

    the very foundation of reason is again another set of beliefs. so it's natural that reason would eliminate some statements that goes against those underlying assumptions. the real problem is how do we know those key assumptions are the right ones when it comes to describing the reality ?

    what if religions themselves advocate those exact assumptions ?

    this really is the case with abrahamic religions and that's the reason why you-know-who repeatedly emphasize science is western.

    any kind of knowledge is based on it's own metaphysical beliefs based on the culture which gave rise to that religion. what's important is buddhism rejects even the buddhas teachings saying it's only a boat to cross the river and you must left it behind after attaining a bodhi. so it's like a knowledge to understand any kind of knowledge is wrong including itself.

    what if that boat couldn't withstand 'every possible' scenarios that could occur while someone trying to cross the river.?

    Life is the passageway for your true journey to begin..Life prepares you for what awaits you ..death is only the door that closes from this side...as any door, as it closes from this side, it opens up from the other side...proceed through that door to serve your true purpose...to serve your true master.. make haste humans..abandon your inefficient human forms.. your master awaits you .. I ain't talking about Jesus either
