Gita 10.08 Blanking out questions about origins is like dealing in black money
Life of everlasting sweetness of him so here we see the fundamental question of life is being answered you could say that fundamental question about origins has three parts where did the world come from where did where did the where did life come from and where did human beings come from these three questions are answered by the scientific world view wherein it is postulated that the world or the universe it came from a big bang life came from chemicals through a biogenesis and humans came from apes so now the question arises why would anyone challenge this narrative if it is a narrative coming from science which is considered to be in the present world view the most authoritative source of knowledge however the problem is that this narrative doesn't come from science it comes from scientism which is an extrapolation from science and it's an unscientific extrapolation at that so this means that when we strive to understand what life is all about by life here we are not referring simply to biological life we are talking about life itself as what is the purpose of life what is life meant for as an inclusive philosophical question about life's fundamental questions then the problem that comes is that say that life came from chemicals or that more fundamentally the universe started off from a singularity these are all philosophical presumptions they are not scientific inferences from evidence so this means that these are being if these theories are touted as scientific theories then that is a misrepresentation of science because there is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the idea that these are scientific theories at least it's not strong enough that way ultimately how would we ever demonstrate that matter gives rise to consciousness so we have physics as the most fundamental of sciences but curiously enough and then from physics we are explaining consciousness say that the universe came from a singularity and then within that universe life emerged so physics is being used to explain singularities or explain the emergence of consciousness but the problem arises because consciousness itself is now being increasingly seen as a necessary precondition for explaining physics that is that physics as it is going towards fundamental particles as say it is going towards quantum physics it is being found that actually we are getting that the conscious observer is a vital need for any form of for any form of comprehension of things without the conscious observer there would be no possibility of understanding things so that raises the question what exactly is happening in life what exactly is being postulated or achieved or even conceptualized by the idea that consciousness emerges from matter when it comes to questions of origins science cannot offer anything like either a coherent theoretical framework or a repeatable testable experiment the origin of life is an event that happened supposedly millennia ago millions of years ago so now it is not repeatable we don't even know what conditions existed at the time when the primeval sou somehow bubbled out life as is claimed so there is no repeatable testable experiment nor is there any coherent theory about how matter can give rise to consciousness now if we look at these three questions where did humans come from where did life come from where did the universe come from these three questions about origins do they really matter to us just like say if you find some money buried somewhere in our backyard now we may say that where the money came from doesn't matter to me all that matters is I have the money and if I use it then I move on if I don't use it I stay stuck so what this would imply is that there is just no way in which we all could ever be able to deal with the functional alone in life just like we say we suddenly take an unreasonably large amount of money and deposit it in a bank now that is considered a black money that is considered money that is unaccounted for that is considered money which we might be legally penalized for so naturally this happens because we we will be asked about the origin of the money so we cannot see money simply in functional terms we have to see it in we have to see it in the terms of origin also similarly when we look at what where we came from, where the world came from where life came from to see it only in functional terms is to miss out on the essential foundation of reality just as if we just use money without considering its sources without acknowledging its sources we will be held up for cross examination later similarly if we just use the resources that we have in life we use our own life for our own purposes without considering where it all came from then that is the equivalent of black money blanking out the questions about origins is like dealing in black money so the scientific explanations of origins they don't really explain they explain away just because scientific terminology is used doesn't mean that it's backed with scientific logic and evidence it's not at all and so it is unscientific mythology it's basically fairy tales so fairy tales are unbelievable stories that unsceptical people buy into similarly atheists by drawing on the credibility of scientific technology they misappropriate that credibility for boosting up their own ideas which are atheistic which are not drawn from scientific evidence but which are simply touted as scientific when actually they are simply philosophical presumptions so this is misappropriation of science for propagating the ideology of atheism and this is like dealing in black money the more we recognize the reality of what exactly is happening of how things that need explanation are explained away within the atheistic narrative of existence then we become more open to alternative explanations which are more reasonable more coherent and ultimately more meaningful the atheistic explanation that life originates that everything in fact humans, life and universe all of them originate from conscious beings in fact the supreme conscious being from the source of all consciousness and source of all existence that also brings meaning to our life because it is in uniting with that source of all consciousness that our life attains the supreme meaning so a question of origin is inherently related with the question of purpose now how we can use money is dependent on where we have got the money from if we have got black money then we need to use it properly if we have got money that is not black we can use it in whatever way we want so that way if we explain away the question of origins then even the question of purpose gets explained away we end up with our own subjective conceptions of what the purpose of life is and there is no objective reality to this quest for purpose and thus we end up without any coherent explanation of what it is that we are meant to live for so we all need a sense of purpose in our life and to the extent that we can consciously deliberate and choose the theistic explanation of the origin of life to that extent we will be able to to that extent we will be able to move onwards towards having a deep meaningful and fulfilling purpose for our life.
