Like the so-called scientists, philosophers, they propose their theories: "I think," "It may be like this," "Perhaps . . ." These are not knowledge. This is all nonsense. You must speak definitely if you know. Just like the śāstra says, jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi (Padma Purāṇa). Definitely. Nine hundred thousand species of life within the water. Why? You could say, "About nine lakhs." No. Nine lakhs. Not "about," "more or less." No. Not like that. That is knowledge. That is perfect . . . Jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati. And the trees, plants, they are two millions. Never says "approximately," "maybe," "perhaps." No. This is all nonsense. We don't accept such knowledge. So . . . but the, in the material world, these things are going on. Any rascal will give some theory, that will be accepted and he'll be given, offered Nobel Prize.

Like the so-called scientists, philosophers, they propose their theories: "I think," "It may be like this," "Perhaps . . ." These are not knowledge. This is all nonsense. You must speak definitely if you know. Just like the śāstra says, jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi (Padma Purāṇa). Definitely. Nine hundred thousand species of life within the water. Why? You could say, "About nine lakhs." No. Nine lakhs. Not "about," "more or less." No. Not like that. That is knowledge. That is perfect . . . Jalajā nava-lakṣāṇi sthāvarā lakṣa-viṁśati. And the trees, plants, they are two millions. Never says "approximately," "maybe," "perhaps." No. This is all nonsense. We don't accept such knowledge. So . . . but the, in the material world, these things are going on. Any rascal will give some theory, that will be accepted and he'll be given, offered Nobel Prize.

So that is condemned in the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam: śva-viḍ-varāha-uṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ ([[Vanisource:SB 2.3.19|SB 2.3.19]]). So according to Bhāgavata direction, these Nobel Prize winners are exactly like dogs, camels, hogs—śva-viḍ-varāha-uṣṭra—and asses. And they are praised by similar animals. That's all. The Nobel Prize winner and the Nobel Prize giver, both of them are like dogs, hogs, animal and asses. (laughter) That's all. This is a fact. They . . . if, if a person has written some theory, evolution of chemicals, and all rubbish things, it is very nice thing for the so-called dogs and camels. But those who have got eyes to see, one who has heard from Kṛṣṇa, he'll understand this is nonsense.
