Hinduism is the only religion that is pro-science from early ages...
Hinduism is the world's oldest known and the 3rd largest religion closely following Christianity and Islam. Hinduism is originally known as " Sanatana Dharma ", with its roots going back to 10,000 years and Hindu scriptures dating back to 7000 BC.
Some of the mind boggling advances in the hinduism are :
- Evolution : Contrary to most religious beliefs of God creating life, Vedic Vishnu Purana deciphered evolution thousands of years ago in the form of Dashavtaram. According to Hindu mythology it starts with Matsya (Fish) and next came to the Tortoise (Kurma) - the Amphibian. The next avatar is the Boar (Varaha) - symbolizing the first Mammal. The next is Narasinha (Man-Lion) -the being in between the humanoid and the mammal. Next comes Vamana (dwarf) - the primal short man, and then Parashurama (man with an axe) - representing the first hunter-gatherers creating the first tools, before Darwin.
- Mathematics : Concept of Zero (as a number and as a marker), the concept of Infinity and the concept of the Decimal Number system (with a carry forward), Pythagoras theorem. Also the Search Engine Hashing Algorithms -Kathapayadi Syatem Musicology.
- Cosmolgy : The Big Bang theory is mentioned as early as the Rig Veda, where in Mandala X - the Cosmos and the 'Golden Egg' or the sun, is born from the cosmic void - often called as Asat ( Non- Being ) - also meaning 'Non Wisdom' or Chaos.
- Medicine : Ayurveda was also taught to Chinese, Greek,Roman and Persian students who studied at the great Indian Universities as Takshila in Pakistan and Nalanda in India - as early as 700 BCE.
