But there are eternal questions that science may never answer simply because certain things in life fall outside the realm of scientific inquiry.
Questions like "what's the meaning of life?" Or "Is there a God?"
These questions are not scientific in origin but religion, theology and philosophy can aptly address those concerns.
What is delusion to one is truth to another. And even if one finds a suitable answer to these questions one can never prove their truth is truth, we have only our faith.
In western thought most think they are right and all who disagree are condemned for simply believing differently.
In western thought it seems differing beliefs are a hell worthy trespass.
But in eastern thought this is not the case.
In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna tells Arjuna that if one sees reality as it truly is and is free of delusion will see Krishna in all his glory. But Krishna also says that if one believe in a different God Krishna, being merciful, will bless them as the God they believe in.
But they will suffer under their delusions not because they worship differently but because delusion is it's own punishment just as truth is it's own reward.
I think the eastern attitude toward believing differently is healthier for all involved.Buddha once said "You are not punished for your sins, you are punished by them."
This is the eastern approach that seems wise to me. No need for making a bad situation worse by punishing or shaming or demeaning those who simply believe differently or who love differently.
No need to bang your head against a brickwall preaching to those who will not listen.
It is easier and healthier to accept people for who they are, flaws, sins, warts and all.
Who are any of us to judge any way? We are all sinners and it's extremely hypocritical to judge when we sins as much or worse than others even if we sin differently.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
We are punished by our sins, not for them. We are trapped by our delusions, not punished or shamed because of them.
But the truth shall set you free.
