Darvin/Evolution/God/Biology

[Guest guest]

Dear Neelam ji and Jaya ji, If we take this path, it may become a detailed discussion on Science and allied areas of knowledge. I have my own questions - 1) Where and how memory is stored in brain? 2) If the chances of Evolution are this low (statistically - considering the universe) then how and why it occurred at all, and visible to us? 3) What will happen to the concept/theory of Karma, Atama and so in the light of theory of Evolution? and so on....... No, I am not asking any doubt....I know that the answers are not easy or possible at present...Just expressing what came to mind..Love and regards,Sreenadh , "neelam gupta" <neelamgupta07 wrote:>> Dear Revati ji,> > Looks like a parallel that we can draw with Darwin's theory of Evolution and> I've also heard about it, but I don't think it makes any sense to connect it> with the evolutionary process.
