Re: Even if science proves re-birth, Kamma, Deva and Brhama worlds?

I just wonder even if science proves that there is re-birth, Kamma, Vipaka, Deva and Brahma worlds, super normal powers will the people are going to be different. Will this be a better place? Will we see many Arahants? Will there be many Buddhist. If your answer is "No" give reasons. Then...

Re: Plants ~ Borderline Beings?

I have recently been studying Fungi, which are neither plants nor animals. They consume both plants and animals, some decomposing them, while others enter into a symbiotic relationship with both animals and plants exchanging needed nutrients.
