Fact or Fantasy ???

Did our grandfathers look like this?
Or like this?
and how did it work without the other?
Which evolved first?
The Egg or The Hen
The Floweror
The Bee
Even if evolution is true, then….
Why are Apes and
Monkeys not extinct?
Where are the intermediate forms (missing links) between Ape and Man?
“There is no evidence which would show man developing step by step from lower forms of life...
…there is no such things as missing links.”
Dr. Austin H. ClarkBiologist, Smithsonian Institute
“Evolution is not an established theory but a tentative hypothesis....
It is not universally accepted.”
admitted by Thomas Huxley, who was one of the most vigorous supporter of Darwin
“The main purpose of Darwinism was to drive away
every last trace of an incredible God from biology.”
T. Rosazakin famous book “Unfinished Animal”
from Darwin himself
Hidden Truths
Darwin writes
“I am a firm believer that
without speculation there is no good
and original observation.”
in a letter to A. R. Wallace (Dec.22 1857)
Darwin writes
“You will be greatly disappointed. It
(forthcoming book) will be grievously too hypothetical.”
in a letter, regarding the concluding chapters of ‘The Origin of the Species’ (1858)
Darwin confesses
“Not one change of species into another
is on record...we cannot prove that a single species has
changed.”
towards the end of his life
Moving headup and down
causes dizziness.
This dizziness is caused by a change in blood pressure in the head.
Giraffe’s neck is 2.5
meters long
Giraffe moves its neck up
and down very fast.
Special valves in neck, control the blood flow to brain.
Elastic blood vessels in the giraffe's head allow harboring of enough blood to prevent the giraffe from passing out when bent in this position.
If evolution of this valve is true
then...
…lets take a look at a pre-historic event
He feels thirsty!!!!
He hopes for evolution of valves!!
and develops an headache while bending down.
Oh!!! better luck next time.
Outcome….
“The Darwinian theory is not the result of scientific
research, but purely the product of imagination.”
Dr. Fleischman, an Erlangen Zoologist
How simple is a single cell organism?
Escherichia Coli (E-coli)
A single-celled organism
Simple form of life
“transport system”
Annual Review of Microbiology Year
2000 editiondiscusses its various complex cellular
processes like …….
“regulation system”
“The theory of evolution suffers from grave defects, which are
becoming more and more apparent as time advances.”
Albert Fleishman,Professor of Comparative Anatomy,
Earlangan University
How simple is a single cell ?
Once thought to be a simple bag of chemicals,
the cell is now understood to be an elaborate system of molecular machinery that surpasses a modern
city in complexity.
Number of cells in a Human body
100,000,000,000,000(One hundred trillion)
IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY
“Irreducibly complex system mean a single system composed of several
well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to
effectively cease functioning.”
Michael Behe, Biochemist,
Lehigh University
It requires over 50 different protein parts for operation.
Bacterial Flagellum at work
Palmitic Acid
“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which
could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.”
Charles Darwin
Plant Breeding
“There are natural limits to the degree that
an organism can be modified by
breeding”
Luther Burbankan American Botanist

Evolution

“Evolution of the species means constant and steady
increase in order and complexity -- the Amoeba to
Man idea. The second law says no such thing can occur
spontaneously.”Lord Kelvin, Father of Thermodynamics
“Overwhelming strong proofs of intelligent and
benevolent design lie around us. The atheistic idea is so
nonsensical that I cannot put it into words.”
Lord Kelvin, Father of Thermodynamics
“Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups.”

Perfect knowledge from Vedas

“It should be understood that all species of life, O son of
Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving
father.”
(Bhagavat Gita 14.4)
Vedic Concept of Evolution
A body is NOT transmigrating into
another body.
Soul is transmigratingfrom one body to
another
janmänta väda
Evolution of Consciousness
Evolution of degree of
Consciousness through the
8,400,000 forms of life.

“This is due to his (living entity’s) association with that material nature (three modes). Thus he meets
with good and evil among various species.”
(Bhagavat Gita 13.22)
It is the knot of Karma which forces us to transmigrate from one body to another.

“When the living entity wants to enjoy the modes of material nature in their totality, he prefers, out of many bodily forms, to accept that
body which has nine gates, two hands and two legs. Thus he
prefers to become a human being or a demigod.”
(Srimad Bhagavatam 4.29.4)

“One attains the human form of life after transmigrating through 8,400,000 species of life by the process of gradual evolution. That human form of life is spoiled for those conceited fools who do not take shelter of the lotus feet of Govinda [Krsna].’’

Mode of Pure Goodness
are degraded toAnimal form of Life
remain inHuman form of Life
are elevated to the higher planets
go Back To Godhead
