Scientific Method is useless in religion?

[joelr]

When the scientific method is applied to Christianity it tends to contradict what fundamentalists want to believe.

Then its simply a historical term that depicts the early period of Hinduism. The religion, the philosophy, the theology and the revelations have all massively increased since then. Many of the Brahmanas, Gita, Upanisads, Mahabharata, Ramayana, the great Sutras, the Shastras, the Smritis, the Puranas, the Agama literature (also considered revelations) postdate the period. Hinduism does not believe in unique revelation, but rather a continuous series of revelations and incarnations by which the transcendent is made manifest in the mortal world.

That phenomenon is Post-Vedic, not Vedic, please.

Who applied the scientific method to Christianity and how? It is not an issue of science. Is it? Please

Surely you do not mean to say there were no more revelations in the world after the Vedas? Since then Quran would be disqualified. Agama scriptures are a revelation that came to the people of South and Eastern India independent and seperate from the Vedas. Hinduism is the merging of many revelations and darsanas of many people who inhabited the vast sub-continent. Notice that it is far vaster than the small little region of Eastern Mediterranean between the sea and the Tigris-Euphrates where you guys are supposed to have gotten three distinct revelations (Judaism, Christianity, Islam). It is only logical that South Asia, which is 20 times larger and home to far more peoples, would have many times the number. Your erroneous belief that Hinduism only consider Vedas as scripture needs to be corrected. And you need to tell me on what basis you have arbitrary decided that Vedas and only Vedas is the one and only revealed scripture of the sub-Continent.

Elaine Pagels PHD of religious studies took an open and very scientific approach to her study of the Lost Gospels in "The Lost Gospels" which shows a very different Christianity taking place in the first century .

William Dever, Professor Emeritus at the University of Arizona, has investigated the archeology of the ancient Near East for more than 30 years and authored almost as many books on the subject. His findings are that the authors of the Bible were not writing objective history. His interview is on the NOVA website.
The Q Gospel, the Jesus Seminar, J.D, Murdocks books and studies are entirely sourced and show hundreds of comparisons of Christianity to other current mythologies, Egyptian myths and older cultures as well.
She has worked as a trenchmaster and is not just Googling the internet for sources.
She spoke around 10 relevant languages and completely exposed Christianity as a copy-cat mythology.

This is what always happens if one looks at facts without bias or agenda, which is what the scientific method calls for.

It would also disqualify Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's teachings and works too, since they are post-Judaism, post-Christianity, post-Islam, post-Buddhism, post-Hindu, post-Confucianism, post-Zoroaster, post- etc.

Ahmadiyya is a seriously f#####-up cult. The only thing that Ahmadiyya got going for it, it is less violent than Islam. But this "peaceful" religion, is offset by as much as lies as Muhammad.

According to Ahmadiyya, Krishna and the Buddha are both prophets of Ahmadiyya, and yet this is superficial and hollow, because paarsurrey spent as much times putting down Hinduism and Buddhism, because he is like a typical Muslim, paarsurrey is only here to promote Muhammad and Admad, and his own brand of "Islam".

Paarsurrey is as fundamentalist as you can get.
