    Correlating Evolution theory of Darwin and spirituality

    The main aspect in the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin is that any organ is developed to meet a need. Similarly, any organ is suppressed when the need disappears. In the case of a man the tail disappeared since its use was not there due to the efficiency improved in the hands in driving away the flies. Therefore, evolution based on need is the real guiding factor in the case of living beings. Even in the spiritual field the same basic concept is maintained. When some people found out that the happiness could be obtained through their own materialistic effects, the need for God disappears and therefore, the concept of devotion is suppressed.

    Such people have become atheists. The so called theists exhibit over development of devotion related to the existence of God basically due to the same requirement of need to take the help of God in their materialistic efforts to derive happiness in the world. Such need-based devotion is spontaneous and natural.

    Spiritual preachers based on such need-based devotion can enjoy the spontaneous propagation of their knowledge and fame. But such need-based devotion is not true love to God and therefore God is displeased with it. The real devotion, which pleases God, is only reverse of this, which is the development of devotion in absence of any need from God.

    Such type of true devotion is opposite to the above spontaneous and natural devotion and therefore a special hectic effort (sadhana) is needed. Only a qualitative minority in the world can appreciate the spiritual preachers based on such devlopment of true devotion. Therefore, a true spiritual preacher will not aspire for fame of the majority, which is not actually possible. The natural tendency existing in the theory of evolution is inherent to the living beings and hence need based devotion appeared in the spiritual field also without any effort.

    The theory of evolution proposed by Darwin is confined to living beings only. If you consider the evolution of the entire cosmos, Einstein’s theories are also to be considered. The science says that the cosmic energy in the state of invisible waves of high frequency is in space itself.

    The special theory of relativity proves that the space bends around the object and this shows that the space is nothing but finest form of energy. Hence, there is nothing like nothing (vacuum) even according to the latest science. Such space is the first primordial energy in the subtlest form and this is called as akasha. The visible effects of the primordial energy like light etc are denoted by the word Agni. Vayu (Air), apah (liquid) and prithivi (solid) represent the matter in the three states. From these five elements the life is evolved, which is the plant kingdom (Prithivyah oshadhayah … Veda).

    Gradually the animal kingdom with the latest human being is evolved. This represents the energy, matter and awareness, which are gradually evolved one after the other. Such evolution is mentioned in Vedas (Akashat vayuh). Since the visible energy like light is produced after the existence of atoms only; the primordial energy, the gaseous state in which the atoms and molecules move freely and the visible energy like light are produced in sequence as per Veda (Vayoragnih). The final conclusion is that energy (primordial), matter and awareness are produced in sequence. Since the nervous energy or awareness is produced from the inert energy functioning in the nervous system by oxidation of oxygen gas, the gradual production of awareness from energy and matter is justified in Veda as well as in the theory of evolution in science.

    The formation of matter from energy is clearly proved by Einstein through the law of equivalence of mass and energy. Therefore, the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin associated with the Einstein’s theories will certainly prove the evolution of universe from the energy or space in sequential manner. But Veda mentions one more item indicated by the word Atman as the ultimate cause from which the primordial energy or space was generated (Atmana akashah… Veda).

    You cannot say that the word Atman means awareness here, because, awareness (purushah) is mentioned as the third generated product in the chain of evolution. A generated product in the chain cannot be the first ultimate cause.

    Evolution Used to Move 5 Times Faster...
    :confusion:
    Big Bang of Evolution Moved at Warp Speed
    Posted September 13th, 2013 ~ Evolution during the “Big Bang of Evolution,” also known as the Cambrian Explosion, happened at five times the rate it occurs today, according to a new study, a finding that is consistent with Darwin’s theory of evolution.

    Darwin never even used the word "evolution" anywhere in the book "On the Origins of Species" (first edition).


    funny aint it?

    WRONG! The main aspect in the theory of evolution proposed by Darwin is that animals who have a survival advantage due to their genetic inheritance will pass that advantage to their offspring and they to theirs. Over time many small changes can make huge differences.

    This is completely incorrect and spins the causality of the theory of evolution on its head. Here's how it works. Organisms reproduce with slight genetic variation. Organisms with mutations that benefit their survival are more likely to pass along their genes. It's not that organs are developed to meet a need; indeed, you often see animals with useless "vestigal" organs, such as the finger bones of whales or the appendix of the human.

    Beyond that, your post is just so much psychobabble and I'm just not going to bother.

    Such a complete misreading of basic science presented in the style of an-oh-so-wise treatise does have a bit of unintentional humour tho, dont you think?
