Steven mcnamara Srimad Bhagavatam comparing scientific goals
Or
Steven mcnamara Srimad Bhagavatam the fundermental sciences
There, you will find what priorities Srimad Bhagavatam gives to consciousness exploration, observations are given , which in many cases contradict the majority of scientists who promote subjective scientific materialism , but there are also examples of scientific theories that parallel the current scientific thinking in terms of broad ranges of subjects in physics , biology and chemistry .
Scientific materialism is nothing new , in the sense that the Greek philosophical thinkers were both discussing atomism and dualism , in otherwords those like Plato and Socrates who understood mind and matter to be totally different substances and those like Democritus who believed the world is only made up of atoms and the mind is simply neurons firing and that causes mind and consciousness.
