A Buddhist Psychological Analysis Framework for Evaluating Anthropological, Genetic, and Cosmological Data: Bypassing Investigator Bias and Dogmatic Interpretations

Modern anthropological, genetic, and cosmological models often carry implicit cognitive frameworks shaped by colonial-era paradigms, institutional biases, and dogmatic paradigm preservation. This paper presents an investigative research methodology based strictly on early Theravada epistemological and psychological principles derived from canonical sources (Kalama Sutta, Vimansaka Sutta, Canki Sutta, and Upali Sutta). Rather than force-fitting religious concepts into scientific data, this framework functions as a critical epistemological filter to distinguish empirical physical evidence (Rupa) from researcher-imposed conceptual constructs (Nama). Applying this framework to prehistoric archaeological findings and genetic continuity models in Sri Lanka reveals significant investigator biases and cognitive dissonance within mainstream academic literature. Furthermore, by evaluating the current scientific limitations of chemical abiogenesis (DNA/RNA spontaneous generation), the paper examines the Agganna Sutta's account of an energy/consciousness-based origin of life—which parallels concepts in quantum physics—as an unrefuted, scientifically legitimate hypothesis open for empirical inquiry
