The ideas of philosophy, mysticism and religion have validity the same as civilization, industralization and agriculture; they are all constructs of humanity, but they can not be use to explain things outside the scope of humanity. Your advocacy of bhuddism and its thousands of years of existance, is a pedantic approach to truth. Humanity is millions of years old; religion and philosophy equates in this scheme to television and radio, just another incarnation in the human experience. If these things that you promote are absolute truth, doesn't stand to reason that they would be eternal. Can you honestly say that one hundred thousand years from now, that religion(bhuddism and such the like) and or [television] will still be relevant.
