[Buddha-l] David Lopez's book on Science and Buddhism

[Alex Wilding]

I was going to ask what "squirrely" meant, but when I read Curt's second
link I got it!
Just to pick on the first one, I have been astonished how many statements of
one sort or another are falsely attributed to Einstein. Taking my cue from
"factoids" I'm tempted to call them "thoughtoids". He has clearly become a
culture hero for the would-be-thinking man. I think Lopez's first point says
more about the curious position of Einstein in popular culture than it does
about any relationship between Buddhism and science.
                                    
All the best
