So you can't tell me how Jainism supports a concept that science refutes
Jainism is a spiritual and philosophical path, not a scientific theory. So it does not claim that every doctrine must be proven by science in the modern sense.
If a concept is scientifically refuted but appears in Jain texts or tradition, Jain understanding would usually be one of these:
- It is not meant as a scientific claim
It may be a spiritual, ethical, or karmic teaching.
- It belongs to a different domain of knowledge
Jainism distinguishes between material, empirical knowledge and subtle karmic or spiritual realities.
- The teaching is interpreted symbolically or doctrinally
Some points are understood through Jain philosophy, not laboratory proof.
- If a claim truly conflicts with reason and right understanding, Jain tradition encourages careful examination rather than blind acceptance.
So Jainism does not “support science-refuted ideas” by trying to compete with science. It presents a different framework, centered on jiva, ajiva, karma, ahimsa, and liberation.
