Wil's Rant

The Dalai Lama has added his voice to the Vatican's in urging his followers to embrace scientific knowledge. Essentially, he says that the faithful should pursue scientific knowledge along with spiritual in order to gain enlightenment. This flies in the face of all those who claim that blind faith is the true path and all scientific knowledge is suspect. I have long held the view that science and faith can walk hand in hand. Those who oppose this view effectively state that we should simply ignore all that is around us and not seek for a greater understanding of all the gifts this life has to offer.
