The Baha’i faith teaches that there can never be a conflict between their faith and science. Anything in the past against what science has shown to be true now is considered allegorical.
The only religions which accept and foment all science, are the atee ones (buddism, taoism…), because they are centred in the own spiritual perfection. There isn’t any science which denies their philosophy, even the opposite.
“If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change.”
Religion doesn’t exist outside society; that dogma is determined by what is useful to those in society with the power to promote it. This is why under the multi-cultural Ottoman Empire they came up with all sorts of justifications to expand the definition of “people of the book” to include basically every significant religious minority except Hindus, and that was only a matter of time, and why fundamentalists who want to return to the 1300s were promoted funded by the British/US/Saudis.
Same applies to any ideology or philosophy. To pretend otherwise is liberal idealism.
Yes, but the religious accapt only the amount of science until it don’t denies their dogma.
