they are right- Hindus have no problems with science. that is true only for desert death cults and Stalinists like Nehru. The moon is also at the heart of Hinduism's lunar calendar systems - and not just astrology as tunku v reckons
a nice touch that Ganesha doing a spacewalk. of course, they cannot have something like that when the Hans did their spacewalks - no - that would be considered rude!!!!

Tunku Varadarajan, a professor of business at New York University says: "genius of modern Hinduism lies in its comfort with, and imperviousness to, science."
Perhaps if he bothered to study Hinduism he might discover that it gives to its followers a scientific outlook on religion and on life.
Eminent physicists like Einstein, Schroedinger and Oppenheimer discovered this too.

Ghost Writer very rightly said: "Hindus have no problems with science". Now compare with: Pope’s specious and failed attempt to reconcile anti-science “Creationism” with Theory of Evolution, Times Online | October 31, 2008.
