But, I like the topic of science and Buddhism. Just saw Alan Wallace the other night. Video and pics on my site: http://the12stepbuddhist.com. But I'd have to read a bunch of books on the subject to really offer an opinion. I have a couple of the Dalai Lama's books on science here, and some of the Hawkings and other books on physics. At some point, I'll dig into those and see if any of it makes sense. In the meantime, it's the study of Longchenpa for me. In that system, everything is ineffable basic space. That's probably a good place to begin the inquiry. -d the 12-Step Buddhist pre-order now on Amazon -d Well I don’t really go in for the creative intelligence, universal mind or other name of a Creator God in charge of our destiny.

In exploring these thoughts, I envisioned that my entire mass came from the sun, and it has grown from an entity which is receiving energy from other sources and converting it. My rationale is this. If you took an item which converted energy into mass and placed it near an energy source, like the sun, it's going to grow. That thing would become a planet. If a stable orbit were achieved, it would survive in balance. (If you fit the tectonic plates together, it forms a smaller sphere, so I think it's getting bigger.) I also believe that there is design within this balance that is the product of a creative intelligence outside my own, or maybe I'm a part of it. I arrived at this conclusion based on observing the formation of my own thoughts and my coexistence here with other thoughtful beings. Maybe these thoughts are radiated and received by another entity somewhere which converts it into a more mature form. It's far to complex, fragile, and wonderful to have blossomed from chaos or nothingness. I appreciate your thoughts here. Good reading.
