Nope. When you read Vedanta and Upanishads, there is only one truth that comes out. "Tat Tvam Asi" which means That Thou Art. Meaning you are god. That points to the integral unit of the whole cosmos. The entire universe, multiverse is manifestation of god.
Hinduism has always maintained "god is universe" not "god made universe."
Given this definition, everything literally is god. Every atom, every molecule, every quark. Every animate and inanimate object is god.
This is where Hindu worship of everything comes from, trees, rocks, snakes, cows, statues, mountains, rivers. Just about everything.
The principle of Karma is nothing more than cause and affect. Just that it plays out over multiple lifetimes. So saying one can be born as a rat or reincarnate as something else is not out of whack. Everything is sentient and every experience is considered the experience of god.
Another principle of Hinduism is the principle of Maya. Which means all that you see is an illusion. Now fit that in with what you know about the universe, about the constituents of every particle. What are atoms made up of? What is Higgs Boson all about?
So where is this particle which is supposed to give mass.
If you cannot find a particle which gives mass and if an electron placed in an vacuum lapses into a wave instead of being a particle then where is mass? What is mass made up of?
To correct few discrepancies of yours, Electron doesn't lapses into a wave when placed in vaccum. It turns into wave only if a potential is applied. If you look into the books of quantum and semiconductor physics, the mass of electron is two in different case, effective mass and actual mass and the ratio is taken into consideration. In semiconductors, effective mass is much lesser than the actual mass, and approaches zero in Graphene. Hence electrons behaves as wave rather than particle in Graphene, thus graphene shows super conductive characters even at room temperature. This shift in mass has to do with shift in impedance in the path of the flow.
I get the logic of their argument. Which is more like an own goal.
Which is like this: Atheists believe that there is no god purely based on faith and no evidence. So if it was a religion, then it is an admission by him that the religious believe in gods based on faith, and not on evidence.
How not believing becomes a case of faith, if one cannot prove the non existence of an entity, doesn't necessarily translates into as the proof of it's existence. Had Harry Potter been written few thousand years ago, i'm sure it'd had it's own believers.
