I'm not even a hindu, or super "religious" in any way. I did go to a catholic school but that was because it was right down the street from my house. We had a class called World Religons where we look at all religions besides christianity and it peeked my interest and I continued studying on my own time and found hinduism/buddhism to be particulary interesting.
Hinduism is an incredibly old religion with a lot of history, and I honestly believe that the ancestors of this planet knew more then we give them credit for. There is a lot of stuff that can relate to science and if you had looked into (rather then making an ignorant comment like you did) i'm sure you would find it interesting.

Sure, there is a lot of stuff you can relate to science retrospectively, which is exactly my point. It's like the legions of idiot Muslims who rant about how the Quran predicted various scientific discoveries - why did they not predict these discoveries before they happened? Simple: because it's not a real prediction, but rather a pathetic attempt to match up vague doctrinal statements with modern scientific knowledge. You're doing the same thing here.If you disagree, perhaps you'd like to find me what parts of the Hindu scriptures discuss vacuum metastability events. I'll be waiting.
There are parts in the Hindu Vedas which in english translates to "Knowledge" and it speaks of an expanding universe. There is a lot of of stuff in the Vedas about cosmology, almost too much for me to explain all in once (not to mention I haven't read it all yet). Its not going to give you super detailed explanations like the false vacuum mestasbility theory of how particles are reacting when that happens but it still gives pretty good outlines of everything.
Keep in mind its over 6000 years old and the Vedas are not like traditional bible scriptures or the Quran. The muslims you speak of who may have took things Allah might have said in the Quran as proof is completely different from the Vedas. Parts of the Vedas read more like an ancient history/textbook then regular bible scripture or Quran scripture you may be used to. This is why I find it so interesting.
Uh huh, so in other words it doesn't talk about what you said it talked about. Thought so.
