There is a link and in the corner is a presentation about Sikhism and science (it might take a while to load) but its got some interesting quotes from the Guru Granth Saib ji which are coherant with scientific beliefs.

Suffering is needed in the world, to know what the meaning of pleasure is. The world, works on opposites, if one did not know how it felt to be hungry then he would not know the feeling of being full up.

Guru ji told us - in rehraas sahib and asa di //:

"Dukh daroo sukh rog peya ja sukh taam na hoyi"

Pain is medicine (yes medicine!) and pleasure is the disease

Because you don't remember/appreciate Akal Purakh Waheguru when you're happy!

There are no "other" ppl.

They too have lives of their own you know! Life does not revolve around you, or me, or anyone.

Karma is so complicated, and that is its beauty. Each of our karmas effect ppl's karma around us. And vice versa. Every action by us affects someone else and their actions affect us.

If you start thinking like this for he whole world, even for 1 day of events, you're brain will melt! lol

We can't get our heads round karma, so how will we even think about trying to get our heads round the creator of this - God.

Awnsering the bit about how the world was created.. hmm, I dont know..but..

There is a buddhist story of a man with an arrow in his eye. Now if the man has an arrow in his eye, he is suffering and the best thing to do is to focus on taking the arrow out of the eye.

Asking questions like, Where did the arrow come from?, Why is it there? When did it happen?

would be a waste of time. These questions would not heal the wounded persons pain, but instead lenghen it.

Another words, One should focus on Eradicating suffering, instead of spending presious time pondering over to questions which are un-anwserable and irrelvent.

Not saying its silly to ask questions like this, but saying its just a little pointless, it does not help to heal the pain of unsatisfaction e.c.t e.c.t that most of us go through each day.
