The spirit soul, not chemicals or chance, is the actual basis of all life and creation.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: ...I want. Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Neither would simply just begging some rice and dāl to feed ourselves. Prabhupāda: Now Kṛṣṇa is [indistinct]. [break] Do you think that the..., if the scientists attend meeting, they are interested? Or they feel it dry? Svarūpa Dāmodara: I think they are very interested, very much. Otherwise they won't take time to discuss.
In fact, some of them feel that it's very unique. Prabhupāda: Unique it is. There was no such proposal before. They have taken God as something mystic, imagination. Especially this rascal Darwin's theory, "People are animals," and they accept that "We are animals.
My father was monkey." Very easy. This rascal has convinced them that "Your father, grandfather, were monkeys, and you are Sir Walter Ross." "How I became a Sir Walter Rose, the son of a monkey?" This is their business. How much bluff. Disgusted learning and jump.
A monkey has become man. Body's changed. Svarūpa Dāmodara: That is nonsense. Prabhupāda: Hmm? Svarūpa Dāmodara: That is nonsense.
Prabhupāda: Full nonsense, this rascal. How much havoc he has done to the human society. A grand rascal, this Darwin. And he is taken as the basic principle of anthropology.
The whole world has become. So all scientists, by combined meeting, they should kick out his Darwin theory. Or they should modify... [pause] Long, long ago, before, things were there. Nobody knows how long.
In the Padma Purāṇa it is said, bhramyādbhir jīva-jātiṣu. You know this word? Svarūpa Dāmodara: Yes. Prabhupāda: Bhramyādbhiḥ. There are different forms of bodies of jīva. That is also stated.
