Vaj is a bomb thrower and just thinks this will stir up someone here. Funny how he invokes a materialist to give rationalistic arguments as a kick against a straw dog like vedic science. There are many Indians in the US trained in the medical field who think like this and blindly accept a hard core rationalism. When talking with them you quickly find that many of them are lap dogs for western scientism. They would condemn Vajra=naught's views just as quickly as so called "vedic science".
Since this list has a long history of independent thought, some here (most?) might enjoy it. Since Vedic Creationism figures prominently in the TM mythos and many here are familiar with that mythos through their own experience, it bears mention here as new articles and insight come to light. Creation science, sometimes the Christian version, sometimes the Vedic one, are current topics in world news with some governments debating the validity of such approaches. And of course there are some western schools that teach this as part of their "scientific" curriculum.
Curious you would have so much aversion to the topic so as to see it as a "bomb"! That speaks more to your own consciousness than to mine.
Believe it or not, we used to be able to have intelligent debate on such relevant topics without people feeling threatened, instead exploring them with humor and insight.
