Bangkok Podcast 60: Religion & Science

We're very happy to welcome back Phra Pandit, the British-born
monk who joins us to talk about everything from Buddhist canon to
nuclear power. Today, Phra Pandit talks with us about how
Buddhism views science. Is it as hostile as some other religions
often see it, or is it more of a peaceful co-existence? Are there
areas which conflict with The Buddha's teachings, or does
Buddhism take every new discovery in stride?


Phra Pandit also educates us on why writing might not be the most
reliable method to pass information down through generations,
what Buddhism believes heaven and hell to be, whether or not we
have a soul, and even a few theories on neuro-plasticity and
something called the God Helmet.
