Do not be so much faithful and confident on only science/technology/human intelligence/effort ...etc. Science is like a light which shows/highlights/brings out

Science is like a light which shows/highlights/brings out the already existing stuff. This does not mean that science created them, though latter discoveries depend on previous ones. They are there in nature before fundamentally and science pointed out to humanity.
Technology/engineering works on science's output to create products/services for humanity. Going by this logic, science and technology and human effort/intelligence are just harnessing/working on fundamental entities existed before.
So there exists an entity/constellation of entities which we call God which constantly churns out the activity which we all consume under various names,modify with intelligence/effort to suit our needs.
So there is nothing wrong in visiting temple/God who is basis for everything.
Why rational people should not believe in God and should not have beliefs? May be he has enough proof for the capabilities. Just because you do not have proof and just because that proof is not hyped/advertised, it does not mean that it does not exist.In Hindu Dharma, God is personal in the sense that each one connects to him in their own way unlike/in addition to monolithic set patterns visible to all.
Even Bhagavad Gita is based on rational discussion (Q&A), though it is spiritual too.
One personal comment: Based on the above comment, you appear young. I suggest you periodically to look inwards and read books in your language.
EDIT/APPEND: Unfortunately, there are various people/groups who mislead people on the subject of God. Some of them are/can be delusions. So you need to be careful but honest efforts on your own to connect to him/her (Hinduism is plural) can/may be possible.

- q2 12y agoNo it is not. I saw the profile of the person and based on that, this advice is ok, since we both appear from same country.
- Crito 12y agoI am not sure you understand what "condescending" means, which is probably why you have been downvoted. If I, an American that speaks English natively, told another American that also spoke English natively, that they seem young and should read more, that would still be condescending. This is true particularly if the statement was prompted by a disagreement over something like religion. Condescension doesn't only appear across language or culture boundaries.
