Is religion obselete in this day and age??

So you're mixing up speculation with scientific data? That's shoddy and an insult to whatever science has done to prove things to be factual. You're comparing apples to oranges. We, from a universal level, can witness and experience collectively the world around us. Whereas spirituality and dualism is a mental, individual idea which survived mainly because of irrational claims.

And as for your death comment...that's VERY laughable. While it's true that we never experienced it ourselves, however, we can acknowledge that the person who is dead has ceased to function. We're more like machines with our mortality than anything else and beyond that is mere comfort food for those unwilling to accept that reality.

 

Well like I said earlier watch the video with an open mind. Chopra is a Harvard educated medical doctor and has an interesting take on Quantum Mechanics. Btw serious and well known and respected scientists believe in a God. Men of science mind of you. Whats your take on them.

 

I never said that ALL scientists are atheists. And to be more on point, scientists are generally more agnostic and if they do hold religious beliefs, they keep it separate from their work because science explains "how" things work and interjecting faith of any kind is an irrational claim. Francis Collins, head of the National Institute of Health under the Obama administration, is a brilliant scientist and yet he's a fundamentalist Christian. He's respectable in the account that he doesn't subscribe to ridiculous positions like intelligent design and creationism.
