Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Another SBS disciple embraces radical Hindu Creationism?

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this! I would also point out that just because both various Hindu gurus and Christian fundamentalists describe creationist and intelligent design ideas that does not mean they are precisely the same--these are *parallel* ideas. They share a lot, but express it quite differently and therefore you have to be discerning to see the very real parallels between the two. As Patrick pointed out one time, Fundamentalist Christian idealogy expresses ideas in the extreme *right* of western society while eastern thought *expressed relative to western society* /appears/ very much to the far left. However these same eastern ideas, when set in the own culture, represent similar nationalist, right-wing, fundamentalist movements as we see in fundamentalist, Christian, western mores. Everything is relative in the relative.

Has he ever said evolutionary theory is wrong, for example? When asked who was correct Evolutionists or Fundamentalists (god created man with no intermediate steps), he said "Both are right". He takes Yuga ages as literally true. (Sort of the inverse of the Christian problem of 6000 years. Fundamentalist Hindus would hold human societies way way before the many branches of science find any evidence - direct or indirect) MMY used to hold that humans had two identical nervous systems (not to be confused with sympathetic,para-symopatheic, or two hemespheres of brain, etc. He said not to all that. "Its two identical nervous systems"). And thats how CC could be maintained. One in silence, the other in activity. I think the idea comes from Hindu scripture. Castes, role of women, vedic kings, Age of Rama .. all pretty Hindu fundamentalist ideas. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
