In my opinion, the Lord Buddha was and is still the Greatest Scientist of all Time in Human History from the suffering, Spiritually as Scientifically speaking. For the sake of all sentient being He chose not to acknowledge nor reject the existence of a Creator or God; He neither accept nor deny, the freedom of choice from a free thinking mind. As a Muslim I would say that God greatest gift to man is the freedom to think as you wish, God does not require one to accept with blind faith in Him; he is the Tester of Faith. Buddha taught for man to have faith in himself to set your self free from the this illusion we call life; Life Death and Rebirth, a vicious circle that we are tagged to, stuck in a rut of ignorance. The Shakyamuni Buddha's journey was one of a Liberation from the Life of Suffering; the Historical Buddha did not found a Religion, He introduced aa Way of Life out of this vicious circle that we are currently attached to; first 'With Right Understanding'.
Throughout our human history we have been searching for answers for what life is all about with a major interest in if the is or there is no God. What if we at the end of our Days discover one way or the other, would it really make any great difference in our life, fatted to live out life in pain and suffering. Scientists in my opinion should spend more of their time in research for a sustainable Planet in its entire aspect of a Utopian status, a Complete and Perfect World for the existence of all sentient beings on this Planet. Not just to solve the problems we face but to help transcend these problems Other than this all research in any form, is just a training of the mind, education to the Spirit, gathering information and knowledge towards Right Understanding. Is there a Divine entity, Is there an ultimate consciousness of a Being, All Encompassing, Omnipotent Spirit the religious calls God? Is there a meaning to Life? Where or what do I come from? Who Am I?
God's finest gift to man is 'Free Will', the ability to think independently nd come to your own conclusion as to what you think if the Right Understanding of your life, of what the ultimate truth of reality is, if there is or there is no God. For this reason alone I chose to follow the Buddha's path towards Liberation in practical day to day existence.' If not now, when?', if not here, where? One has to wake up to what is it that one is seeking, to be able to come o a complete understanding that none of these questions are relevant and leads to the cessation of human suffering, humanity, man has to live out his life in a complete ignorance of his original Buddha Nature, his God given soul his, strength and ower his, Godly attributes, that he is far greater than who or what he could think of himself; with Right Understanding he opens the gate towards the liberation of his spirit from the influences of forms or emptiness. Scientist keeps on splitting the atom till there is none to split, and all to Emptiness, while the religious keeps on adding forms to their practice. Perhaps are equally right in the methods or are equally wrong, the path has to be take either way, the research and the seeking for answers cannot and will not stop; this is the anture of the Mind, the free Will.Like any other gifts, divine or otherwise, you can either use it or abuse it, and it is entirely up to your whim or understanding. Again is a matter of your personal choice hoe to interpret life according your 'Right Understanding'.
