The philosophy is very clear on one point, you do not hold something to be true without reason. In fact, even the Dalai Lama has stated that if the Buddha stated something that modern science has proven to be false, then a Buddhist should acknowledge that the Buddha was incorrect and cease to believe in the thing.

However, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, however much it may be based on something you hold to be true ... without reason.
So rebirth does not mean rebirth for example? Is it just a symbol and have nothing to to with reality?
