These so-called scientists will reply, "Yes, we are trying. In future." In future, everyone can expect future. But the hearsay is that "Trust no future, however pleasant." Why future? In past we could not do. At present we cannot not do. What is the guarantee that in future we'll be able to do? There is no history that anyone has produced life from chemicals.

Prabhupāda: Whatever it may be, he's not certain about producing life from those chemicals. But still he's lecturing. Is it not cheating?

Dr. Hauser: Not cheating, no . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, it is. Because he cannot produce life. Actually, he cannot, but he's lecturing on this basis.

Dr. Hauser: But he has produced four stages of life.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Dr. Hauser: Not real life, but the proteins that life is made of . . .

Prabhupāda: But we are concerned with the real life. We are consider . . . concerned with the real life. If you can produce one real life, a small ant—not human being—then I shall think that you are successful in your program. But that you cannot do. Why do you talk nonsense? Therefore you are cheating. Why should he say: "That I cannot say," if he's not confident? That means cheating. Everyone is doing that. He's not confident about his theory, and he's speaking long, long speech. And people are fools. They are hearing. Andhā yathāndhair upanīyamānāḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 7.5.31|SB 7.5.31]]). One blind man is leading many blind man, what is the benefit? The leader has no eyes, and he's leading many blind men. What is the use?

Dr. Hauser: Hmm. Yes.

Prabhupāda: And these so-called scientists will reply, "Yes, we are trying. In future." In future, everyone can expect future. But the hearsay is that "Trust no future, however pleasant." Why future? In past we could not do. At present we cannot not do. What is the guarantee that in future we'll be able to do? There is no history that anyone has produced life from chemicals. What do your . . . what do you think, that life is a product of chemicals, do you mean to say?

Dr. Hauser: That is what I've been taught. Yes. About the evolution of the earth, and . . .

Prabhupāda: Therefore, if . . .

Dr. Hauser: . . . all the different stages of life.

Prabhupāda: Do you think that's a fact . . .

Dr. Hauser: It's not a fact. I don't know whether it's a fact. I . . . but that's . . .

Prabhupāda: Then that means illusioned. You are not confident, but you accept that theory. This is illusion.
