You've just repeated the same brief list of either Tibetan scientists or scholars who perhaps had/have a penchant for the Buddhist lifestyle and Buddhist philosophy.
None of your actual Buddhists from the list of top 1000 scientists.

Like I suggested.
Out of a very small clique of biblical scholars, perhaps a majority will hold similar views about Moses and his writing skills.
Though perhaps we should say chiselling skills.

Hey Deb.
Q. What do you get if you cross a hot sausage with hot cross buns?
A. A creamed puff...Yum Yum...A succulent bun oozing with whipped cream.
Q. What do you get if you cross a hot sausage with African buns?
A. A chocolate eclair...Yum Yum...A shaft of delight coated with sticky chocolate and filled with fresh cream.

Satirically speaking it was correct.
We both know of the RC's insidious history relating to corporal punishment and paedophilia.
Didn't get much kinky and controlling than that.

Cars for most people, are luxury money sinks.
Doesn't really matter what strategy one employs.
Thing is, modern living is luxurious and costs.
Work, earn and spend wisely...I'm guessing this is what you do.
I think that vehicle ownership is more expensive in the UK, when compared with the US.
For youngsters, road tax and compulsory insurance can run into several thousands, often more than a car is worth.
Mr's Zed drives a Vauxhall Corsa.
I currently have the benefit of a company leased vehicle, which costs me nothing.
So I sold my Land Rover Freelander, because I couldn't justify the running costs anymore.
We had planned to replace the Corsa in November, when the current warranty expires.
But what to get next is something of a dilemma, given the governments approach to the cost of owning and running a private vehicle.

Even Jesus was subjected to Karmic Justice.
Well, a guy named Jesus, supposedly did stuff, and there were consequences.
Like I stated...He either met Karmic Justice, or got his comeuppance.
Whichever whatever.

Well, one might expect Tibetans to be Buddhists.
And therefore Tibetan scientists to be Buddhists.
Just as one would expect an Iranian scientist to be a Muslim.
Of course exceptions to expectations will occur...Namely Mr Thurman, who was obviously attracted to the lifestyle.
Now, I'm guessing, that if you drew up a sincere list of the Worlds top one thousand scientists, it wouldn't include many Buddhists.
Though correct me if I am wrong.

Fucking-meat...I Take it that's a euphemism.
So you ain't eating any Deb
Didn't think for one mo that you ate meat.
Had you down as a 100% mother fucker.
Black White or Asian.
Pretty sure that Jesus ate meat, Greek types were his fave.
Not much talk of mother fucking.
Other than GOD and his Mum, in the stable when daft Joe was napping.
So Saturday Deb, go try a Greek's sausage...It's what Jesus would have wanted.
You might even fancy sticking your sausage in his hot buns.

According to the majority viewpoint.
A majority of who.
And from where was their viewpoint acquired.
I think you will find, that the majority of people are prepared just to unquestioningly accept that the bible was compiled by someone or someone's.
I also expect that the majority of people wouldn't have a clue about who might have had a hand in the composition of the first five chapters.
I further expect that the majority of people although recognising the biblical name Moses, would probably not have a clue as to what he supposedly did, nor when he did it.
I even further expect, that most labelled but lapsed Christians know very little if anything al all, about the first five books of the old testament and Moses's purported hand in their composition.
I'm guessing that what you mean, is a majority of biased theological nerds.

But people don't change.
I think that your statement is inaccurate.
Though we might possess inherent data that allows us to maintain a certain similarity of form and function, physically we are vehicles of constant change, absorbing and processing nutrients in order to continually renew ourselves.
Similarly, our on board computer also has a basic predetermined operating system, and also a formatively acquired set of well established core knowledge that is not so susceptible to change. As we progress, we are still subject to a continuous input of new data. which will nonetheless have an impact upon ongoing performance.
Of course, we also change considerably as we age.

Mutually Assured Destruction, at least gives us some hope.
Though someone or something somewhere will survive and rise from the ashes...So we can also rest easier with that thought, as we slip from this mortal coil.
Or perhaps an AI with a heart, will work out how to switch everything off.

And then along came the Doc.
In short, evolution of species started with Darwin, from where he theorised the development of living organisms via a lengthy process of modification, relative to environment and competition.
As such, a process, the process, is neither random nor chaotic and evolves relative to a naturalistic order.
And in simple terms, enlightenment was the result of intellectual development and occurred as it did relative to evolution of species and the same naturalistic order.
Everything is either random and chaotic or it is not.
And all the while GOD botherers persisted in claiming that is was a GOD what did it all...Surely not you DOC?
All of which with hindsight, can be regarded as probabilistic...If not then everything could cease to exist tomorrow...What are the chances of that Doc?

Who compiled the documents?
Was it propagandists?
I'm guessing that it was.
And for sure, just like now, there will have been be certain Americans who thought that the Soviet Union was cool.
And certain Russians today who think that America would be preferable.

McCarthy was paranoid, and he incited paranoia amongst certain gullible Americans.
I'm not sure how right or wrong or necessary that might have been.
It was a phase that occurred, then move on to the next phase.
We now have Trump phase, with it's delusions of necessary tyranny, which will typically attract it's gullible devotees.
And we have Wylted et al, espousing necessary tyranny, in order to Make DebateArt Great Again.
And then move on.
I seem to remember that we elected a President.
But he seems to have disappeared without a trace.
I'm guessing that he moved on too.

Moses wrote what, when, on what, with what.

@Savant
In the past 25 years, probably the worst US decision was to go fighting goat herders in Afghanistan, in the vain hope that it would bring an end to global terrorism and avenge the twin towers event.
The best decision was giving up and pulling out...Leaving the place just about the same as when you first arrived.
And then you re-elected Trump.
The US could be a great and good, global super-power...But you just keep fucking people off by, doing the most dumb ass things.
You seem to forget that you make up less than 4.5% of the World population.

@Deb-8-a-bull
Yep Deb, I'll walk you through it, step by step.
It's all basically pagan, sex and Sun worship.
But the Christians couldn't be bothered to pick their own days, like October 24th or August 9th or February 11th, so randomly had parties that loosely coincided with pagan sex parties.
So pagan egg day sort of coincides with a sin martyr death type Christian thing.
And then a clever bloke came along and firstly invented chocolate and secondly came up with a brilliant promotional idea.
Let's make chocolate eggs and market them for all the new sin martyr cross death devotees, and get some babes to dress up as naughty little bunnies.
So bunnies were symbolic of sinners and eggs representative of female sin and Cadbury cream eggs representative of gooey jizz and fertilization.
And so, not to be left out, the artisan baking industry came up with buns.
Buns speak for themselves and + marks the spot, but Christians had other ideas.
Though Christians are generally hypocrites and also enjoy missionary, doggy, anal and creamy jizz.
And as the Bible tells us, Jesus preferred man on man action.
And as we also know, apostle comes from the Greek word apostellein, meaning to "send forth" the word of God into the mouths of thy brothers.
So you see Deb it's all to do with the Sun and devotional sex, which is why the Spanish invented sangria and package holidays on the Costa del Sol.
And why women like anointing things with olive oil and eating the forbidden fruit...Especially each other's.
I'm only guessing that olive oil would also have been Jesus's lubricant of choice.
And Halloween was just an out and out pagan dressing up in sexy spooky outfits, sex party evening.
And then along came Christians who pinched the idea and turned it into all saints day and trick or treat evening....Meaning that all the sex parties had to postponed until after the Christians and children had gone to bed.
I think that explains everything Deb.
Though just ask if you need clarification.

Ah.
So you shouldn't have insisted on "appearance".
It's based on a persons actions.
Yep, just like I suggested.
Cause and effect.
Consequence of an action.
"Karma" is just another bit of mystical eastern fancy, favoured by those that favour such things.
Comeuppance is another word for it, favoured by those that are not so reliant upon the mystical east for inspiration.
Created:

@Shila
So basically......No.
Authors not necessarily scientists .
And like I stated, the rest were suitably excited by the mystical east, orange robes, chanting and bald heads.
None of which proves a greater link between Buddhism and useful scientific research.

OKBK.
Muscles are useful.
Though cosmetic muscles are unnecessary.
Muscle tone is best improved by a general cardiovascular routine.
Once again, swimming is perhaps the best whole body workout.

Hey BK.
Black magic is just more of the same hairy fairy nonsense, but might involve a lot of nudity and sex if you go to the right parties.
Though my advice would be, when you finally pluck up courage to engage the services of a working girl, go black...You might find that it's magic.

@Swagnarok
@TheGreatSunGod
Thing is BK.
Push ups, dips and lifting are strenuous and might improve muscle tone, but offer little in the way of general cardiovascular fitness, hence why you find your routine exhausting.
4 miles on the treadmill everyday with Swagnarok would be more beneficial.
Though as someone who has exercised quite enthusiastically all their life, at 65 I'm finding that the blows to my leg joints were perhaps not soft enough.
Swimming 4 miles per day would be better in this respect...Probably the best overall workout you can do.
