The above statement was spoken by Stephen Hawking in his book, “The Grand Design”. It dawn me why in the westerners are foregoing their faith.
A lot of people have realised that the age old Creation theory where one believe in a personal God whom we call the Creator is not in line with the sciencific discovery. In fact, most western churches has downplay the Creation theory knowing that it will not go down with the public except for the Asian Fundamental Christian.
In the book, one can see that the Buddhist concept emptiness is form and vice versus (色即是空,空即是色) as mentioned in Heart Sutra is truly scienitific. How profound is the teaching of Buddha, if only we can realised we had a Gem sew to our heritage. May we had the good fortune to discover the truth for ourself through the Dharma!

sinweiy, and other Dhamma bros., remember that before Buddha gave an exposition, he will survey the audience before he expounds. For this case, keep on the surface or stick to one topic. Because BroInChrist have so many doubts and queries in his head; and we move on to another concept, making it worst.
So many points are taken out of context by BroInChrist making it "wrong".
Buddha also debated with other religious teaching, yet, His teaching always stands out. most are even converted. is it worst? hmm..kind of enjoying. haha.
