"My confidence in venturing into science lies in my basic belief that as in science so in Buddhism, understanding the nature of reality is pursued by means of critical investigation:
if scientific analysis were conclusively to demonstrate certain claims in Buddhism to be false, then we must accept the findings of science and abandon those claims."
- The 14th Dalai Lama in
The Universe in a Single Atom: The Convergence of Science and Spirituality (2005)
And I think that this is a rational response.
