<span class="link">[[Vanisource:Morning Walk -- July 11, 1975, Chicago|Morning Walk -- July 11, 1975, Chicago]]: </span><div class="text"><p style="display: inline;">Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Factual scientific study would mean to study all 8,400,000 species?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Yes, that is scientific study. But that is not possible. Therefore your theory is always imperfect because you cannot say that "I have studied all." You simply guess, "There is some gap, millions of years." So this is not study.</p>
<p>Brahmānanda: They say even there's a missing link, a part that they cannot explain. So they admit...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: So that is not science.</p>
<p>Harikeśa: It's the most important part too.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Therefore we say they are rascals. And rascals will believe.</p>
<p>Jayatīrtha: Once you said the missing link was your foot in their face. (laughter) (break)</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: ...logic also it is admitted that inductive logic is imperfect; deductive logic is perfect. (break) ...logic means śrota-panthā, paramparā, śruti, Vedic language, śruti. Śruti pramāṇa. Pramāṇa means evidence, and śruti means Veda. Pratyakṣa, anumāna, śruti. Pratyakṣa means direct, direct evidence, and anumāna, hypothesis. That is Darwin's theory, something like that. And śruti, Vedic. So out of these three kinds of evidences, śruti-pramāṇa is accepted as supreme, neither anumāna nor pratyakṣa. Pratyakṣa, you are seeing the sky, but you cannot say the length and breadth. You cannot say. You are seeing daily. If you say, "I have got this telescope," so that is an imperfect. and how you can see with your eyes directly, direct sense perception? Hypothesis, anumāna, guessing, that is also not perfect. And śruti, we take śruti from the perfect person, Kṛṣṇa. He says, aham evāsam agre: "Before the creation I was there." We take simply.</p>
<p>Lakṣmī-nārāyaṇa: Prabhupāda, in the Bhagavad-gītā Kṛṣṇa says that in the beginning of creation He sent forth generations of men among the demigods. So the bones that they have found of those...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Hm?</p>
<p>Lakṣmī-nārāyaṇa: I said the bones that they have found so far...</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: Who?</p>
<p>Lakṣmī-nārāyaṇa: Of the men that were living so many thousands of years ago.</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: But they are not demigods.</p>
<p>Lakṣmī-nārāyaṇa: No. But who are the bones... Where are those living entities now? Where they have gone?</p>
<p>Prabhupāda: You can go to the higher planetary system and try to see there, bones of the demigods. Besides that, according to our śāstra, when Brahmā dies, then everything is finished. So you have no chance to see. Where is your chance? Because everything will be finished, you will be finished, everything finished, with the death of Brahma, so you cannot study Brahma's bones. Just like taste of potassium cyanide. As soon as you taste, you are finished. (laughter) So you cannot say what is the taste.</p>
