Buddhist philosophy denies the existence of God, but bases itself
on a few aspects of human morality and on escaping from sufferings
of this world. Without any intellectual or scientific support, it rests
upon the twin concepts of karma and reincarnation—the idea that
human beings are continually reborn into this world, that their subse-
quent lives are shaped by their behavior in their previous ones. No
Buddhist scripture considers the existence of a Creator, much less
how the universe, the world and living things came to be. No
Buddhist text describes how the universe was created from nothing;
or how living things came into being; or how to explain the evidence,
Buddhism is a false religion founded on idola-
try. Buddhist priests who grow up with these
beliefs spend their lives
worshipping Buddha .
