This paper examines how Buddhists in America have been able to integrate evolution into their worldview to a much greater extent than other religious groups in the United States. Not only is evolution and science in general in line with the main teachings of Buddhism, but Buddhist teachers in the US have consistently encouraged Buddhists to embrace scientific findings and have even incorporated scientific data on evolutionary theory into their teachings. The fact that Buddhists in America have been able to accept and incorporate evolution into their spiritual practice is direct evidence of the fallacy of fundamentalist claims that the naturalistic reasoning used in scientific endeavor will necessarily lead students and researchers to lose their own spirituality, faith and humanity. By examining the ability for this spiritual practice to embrace science so wholly into their worldview, there may be lessons on how teachers can better remedy students' misconceptions about the dangers of science with regard to their own faith.
