Prabhupāda: That is our theory, we believe God exists. But if you want to see, “Show me that He exists,” that is nonsense. Svarūpa Dāmodara: Hm.

Prabhupāda: Because you cannot see. But you have to admit that God exists… And He is a person, by reason. So far our reason goes, that is stated in the Vedānta-sūtra, what is the Absolute Truth? The Absolute Truth is the original source of everything.

That’s all. Now the next question will be, the original source of everything—whether He is a dead matter or a living entity? That is explained in the Bhāgavata; He is living entity, the supreme living entity, satyam param.

Devotee: How is it that science... the scientists, they will not accept the faith that is required in Kṛṣṇa consciousness?

Devotee: Because they have faith, blind faith in their theories, but why they will not have faith in scripture?

Devotee: Why do they? Can they not accept with faith? Svarūpa Dāmodara: Because it is said there in the Bhagavad-gītā alongside is all the living entities under the influence of the three modes of material nature are bewildered.
