Guest guest Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 I am a little bit surprised about one purport in SB by Srila Prabhupada. In SB 4.24.29 He speaks about evolution: "Let us begin tracing the evolutionary process from the point of devastation (pralaya), when the whole universe is filled with water. At that time there are many fishes and other aquatics, and from these aquatics evolve creepers, trees, etc. From these, insects and reptiles evolve, and from them birds, beasts and then human beings and finally civilized human beings." So, it seems that Srila Prabhupada supports the idea that trees "evolve" from aquatics and insects and reptiles also "evolve" from creepers and trees and so on. This is a little bit surprising to me. Generally I have seen Bhagavatam speaking about the CREATION of different life forms and not that they evolve from one to another. Do I misunderstand something? Please comment.
