Re: Vedic tradition and modern sience
Well I am a veda dharmi and modern science does not conflicts with my beliefs. That is because I do not make literal interpretations of texts. Modern science holds the view that humans and all life forms have evolved from single celled organism and I have no problem in believing that and in fact I love debating Abrhamaic folks on idiotic creationism beliefs of Bible-Kooran. For me sanatan Dharm is meant to guide me towards understanding Atma-parmatma or purusha-prakriti or shiva-shakti-jiva relationship and not science. For knowing Science, I read peer reviewed science journals. I see both science and Dharm as separate entity and don't want to prove scientific accuracy in my Dharm. Dharma is beyond science and physics. Similarly science does not requires proof from scriptures.

When the light has risen, there is no day, no night, neither existence nor non-existence; Siva alone is there. That is the eternal, the adorable light of Savitri, - and the ancient wisdom proceeded thence (Svetasvatara Upanishad IV-18). :)
