<div class="heading">Our proposition is that there is an evolutionary process from aquatics to birds here, plants life, then insect life, then bird's life, then animal life, then human life. So this is a evolutionary process, we accept but it is not that one is extinct, another is surviving. All of them are existing simultaneously.

<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Philosophy Discussion on Charles Darwin|Philosophy Discussion on Charles Darwin]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Prabhupāda: But evolution we accept. Evolution we accept but it is not that there was no existence of human being. That we do not accept. Evolution we accept. Just like my childhood manifestation is extinct but there are many other child. Same time. So our point is all the species of life, they are existing simultaneously. Evolution there is, we accept that but it is not that one is missing, one has gone away, and another is come, ten million, thirty millions there was no human being. This is all nonsense. He cannot find in the layer, that is not evidence.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: For instance, there's no dinosaurs existing now. They're extinct now but where are they gone? Some other planets then? Is there some...?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: No. Not in this planet, he has no chance to see it.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: There's dinosaurs existing on this planet?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, yes, he has no chance to see it, or it is imagination only.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: That's very hard to accept. What about the dodo? It was a giant bird...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our proposition is that there is an evolutionary process from aquatics to birds here, plants life, then insect life, then bird's life, then animal life, then human life. So this is a evolutionary process, we accept but it is not that one is extinct, another is surviving. All of them are existing simultaneously.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: But they are not all present at this particular moment on this planet, are they?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Particular, it is not that he has seen all the planets or all the universes. What he has seen?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: That's what I mean. They may be extinct on this planet but on some other planet they...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: At least he has no power to see everything. That is a fact. He's not so powerful that he can see everywhere and everything. That you have to accept. He has limited power to see. By that limited power to see he cannot conclude that one species (is) extinct. That is not possible. No scientist will accept that. After all, your senses by which you are (indistinct), they're limited. So how you can say, "This is finished," or "This is that." That is not to be accepted. Because your senses are imperfect. You cannot see. You cannot search out. Have you searched out all the earthly layers or the 25,000 miles everywhere? That is not possible for you. The whole earthly planet is circumference is 25,000 miles, radius how many, has he discovered that all the places?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: No, representative samples in many places.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Our first proposition is that he says that there was no human beings some millions of years ago. That's not a fact. Because we see all different species of life existing along with human beings. Therefore it should be concluded this is always existing. Human life is always existing. That is our first charge against him. He cannot say there was no human life.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: But we don't see any dinosaurs existing.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You do not see—your power is very limited—but we have to conclude in this way, when we see at the present moment all the different species of life are existing. Therefore it is existing  always.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: But I don't see all the...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You don't see because you have no power to see. Your senses are very limited. You don't see. And because you don't see, it is not to be accepted. So many people say, "I don't see God." That does not mean we shall accept, "Oh, so many people say—majority of people will say like that—'We don't see God.' " Then we are merely crazy fellow, we are after God?</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: No. But dinosaurs...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But simply by dinosaur missing you cannot say that what about other all species of life, other.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Many, many, many, many are extinct, according to...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: I am accepting many are extinct, but the evolutionary process, it means one extinct, and another comes. But we see that the monkey, from monkey, man comes. The monkey is there and man is there. The monkey is not finished.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: Oh, I remember last time when we discussed this, you said, "Well, then, why don't we see men coming out of monkeys still?"</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: "Why hasn't some man been born out of a monkey?"</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: "In our experience..."</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: The monkey is existing, the man is existing.</p>
<p>Śyāmasundara: "So if men came from monkeys, why don't we see it still happening?" That's what you said.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes. That is our argument.</p>
