Among Albert Einstein’s many insightful observations is that, “Science without religion is lame, but religion without science is blind.” Religion, by definition, forces believers to accept opinions without question; beliefs found in sacred scriptures, such as the virgin birth or the parting of the Red Sea, are accepted without question. Science, on the other hand, is the “show-me” system of knowledge. Opinions must withstand the scientific method to be considered true. On this show, host Philip Mereton talks with Rahasya Poe (http://www.rahasyapoe.com/ ), the publisher of Lotus Guide (http://www.lotusguide.com/ ), and author of To Believe or Not Believe: The Social and Neurological Consequences of Belief Systems (http://www.amazon.com/To-Believe-Not-Neurological-Consequences/dp/1441587276), about how holding unsubstantiated religious beliefs is not only blind, but also damages the mind’s ability to achieve true spiritual transformation.
