speculation only

Prabhupada: Hmm. So, na satyam tesu vidyate. The demonic people, they do not have the truth. Only on false theory, the Darwin's theory. We have commented upon Darwin's theory also in our book Scientific Basis of Krsna Consciousness. Dr. Svarūpa Damodara Brahmacari, he has written a small booklet. He has criticized Darwin very strongly, that he is a speculator. A speculator cannot give you truth. That is not possible. By speculation you cannot say, "Two plus two equal to five." That is not science. "Two plus two equal to four," that is everywhere. And if you speculate, "No, two plus two equal to five," or "Two plus two equal to three," that is not science. So scientific basis means it should be fact, not speculation, mano-dharma. Mano-dharma means speculation.    (More...)

So this is the process of creation, that the Garbhodakasayi, here, Karanodakasayi Visnu, from His breathing, He created from the breathing, from the pores of the body, He created innumerable universes, and in each and every universe He entered again. And entering there, He produced a lotus flower. Within the stem of that lotus flower there are so many planets. Just see the gigantic lotus stem. These are to be known from the sastra. You cannot imagine how the creation takes place, huge creation. That sort of explanation-"There was a chunk, and it exploded"-no, these are not explanation. Here is explanation, in the sastra. Sastra caksusat. You have to see by your sastric eyes, not your limited, speculative eyes. That will not help us. Such gigantic business... You are a tiny soul. Your brain is very small. You cannot imagine the process of creation by your sporadic thoughts. That is not possible.    (More...)

Prabhupada: He has very nicely slapped Darwin. [chuckles] He is a mental speculator. How is that, the scientists accept a mental speculator's theory? [break]    (More...)
