Guest guest Posted April 5, 2000 Report Share Posted April 5, 2000 To return to mythology. Behind all these stories we find one idea standing supreme-that man is a degeneration of what he was. Coming to the present times, modern research seems to repudiate this position absolutely. Evolutionists seem to contradict entirely this assertion. According to them, man is the evolution of the mollusc; and. therefore, what mythology states cannot be true. There is in India, however, a mythology which is able to reconcile both these positions. The Indian mythology has a theory of cycles, that all progression is in the form of waves. Every wave is attended by a fall, and that by a rise the next moment' that by a fall in the next, and again another rise The motion is in cycles. Certainly it is true, even on the grounds of modern research, that man cannot be simply an evolution. Every evolution presupposes an involution. ________________________ Check out this very interesting article at: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.04/joy_pr.html Why the future doesn't need us.
