Stephen Hawking: alien life is out there, scientist warns

[Shattered]

I am sorry about the number. It could be wrong, I dont remember it correctly. It was more than 5 billion years.

Hinduism is not a religion ...Hinduism is a set of cosmic laws that are eternal and universal.

If you look at it, then everyone on the planet can be called a Hindu, including atheists, because everyone can satisfy one criteria or the other.



Hindus don't believe in conversion because we feel that all religions are true, in the sense that they all lead to the same destination. So what we say is that if you're a Muslim, be a good Muslim. If you're a Christian, be a good Christian.. because all religions in their core teach the same basic message of love, kindness, devotion, sincerity etc.

We cannot say how old "Hindus" are ..What we know is that it's older than the Harappan civilization.

Ummm mate the earth is about 4.54 billion year old so your saying that the hindu relegion exicted before earth was made =P?

The age of Hindu Religion is undefined

Dude I was referring to the planet Earth and not the Hindu religion.

I am not sure if the first micro organisms had a religion

And besides if religion could tell us whether aliens exist then NASA scientists would be looking for new jobs.

Aren't we going a little overboard in putting our religion in top shelf?

The fact is, Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma, for the sake of political correctness) never really took off at once, nor do its founding books on philosophy suggest any particular date/era of the beginning.

Hinduism developed on its own, as people kept striving to find the 'truth', and kept working harder and harder (mentally, most often through meditation and reasoning) for generations.

Also, simply because Hinduism does deal with ages equivalent to/beyond eons, does not mean that the religion/philosophy in itself is that old. It will be very much akin to saying that 'because I know that the Universe is 15 Billion years old, then I must be at least 15 Billion years old too, simply because I can scale that age'. Wrong analogy!

As for the age of Hinduism, it can never be older than 6000-8000 years when the people began their agrarian society in the valley of Indus (and practicing stuff like building the houses strictly facing east/north, considering ling and yoni to be the sacred giver of life etc). But since then, the religion itself has changed drastically throughout its life.

About Hinduism and Universe:-

The only revolutionary idea that Hinduism gives, and may match completely with the ultimate secrets of the universe is the concept of entropy. Hinduism states that Brahman is completely decentralized.

But on the contrary (They called it Maya - Illusion) everywhere we see and experience everything in a centralized fashion. One organ to think, one organ to pump the blood, one government to rule a nation, one object of mass to warp the space time and form gravity directing it to the core, and things as such. However, entropy is one phenomenon that is universal in true sense, rules all the bodies, and all the existing conditions in the Universe, leading everything, including the universe to one sole fate of decentralization.

Apart from this, I have not found any solid connection between Hinduism and astrophysics. As far as Quantum Mechanics are concerned, we still do not know whether we are going in the right direction.

the "ancientness" of so-called "hinduism" is indian pseudo-history. It was a term coined by the British

"hinduism" did not exist prior to the 18th century. If they did exist as far back as pre-historic times, some ancient texts whether Bhuddist, Greek, Arabic, Sanskrit, Persian or any other would have mentioned this phenomenon.

Read my signature. Personally i don't even knows how many gods are in Hinduism.

Because like avatar said, Hinduism is very very old religion, so it went throughput many changes.

There are many languages spoken within Hinduism.


@ Forrest Griffin

I don't think Cow is God in Hinduism, it's just sacred like i think Pig is in Islam.

B.S. hinduism is not a very old religion. Read my previous post. You guys can live in your fantasy world and spread all these unsubstantiated claims but you can't fool everyone.

It cannot be proven hinduisim predates any Abrahamic religons

a cow is superior to God in hinduism. in "hindu mythology" the cow is considered the mother of all including Gods and humans. it can properly be referred as a God in hindiusm.

I don't even wanna argue with you, because you guys have habit of disagreeing on almost every matter with others.


So just let it go.
