My ol' Daoist teacher had a buddy from the Wudang Mountains in China who never once laid eyes on a computer. And yet with his deep understanding of Daoism and, in particular, the principles of yin yang... he was able to fully grasp computer technology due to the binary system of 0s and 1s.
Now tell me this...
How would a materialist Science explain emptiness? How does 'something' explain 'nothing'?
*And personally I would refer to it as spirituality instead of religion, although that's just a matter of semantics for many people anyway.
