Obviously looking at a map and touring America are two completely

actually visiting the country.
On the other hand, you cannot dismiss the map or you will be
wandering round and round without knowing that you are wandering
round and round pointlessly.
Therefore, before you can make the statement that says" Science
cannot replace reality, you must first understand what science is
all about and what science says.
Otherwise, you might be wandering in Australia and you think that
you are in America.
However, your analogy is irrelevant here.
The map of spirituality must come from someone's own spiritual
experiences, not through theorising and conceptualising. Only an
enlightened person such as the Buddha has the wisdom to guide other
sentient beings -- he gave us the 'map' that leads to Nirvana.
Science of course cannot produce such maps. It deals with other
aspects of things. If you mix them up you are only confused.
Spirituality is transcendental and enlightenment is
trans-logic.
It does not replace physical reality and logic.
Yes. And I added that part before you posted
