Vedas, "The original knowledge."

The atheists argue, "No one has seen God," but has anyone ever seen Charles Darwin? How do we know that evolution is Darwin's theory and not the tooth fairy's theory? The conclusion is that everything is faith. On that note, it should be pointed out that there are essentially two methods in which knowledge can be gained: (1) revealed, and (2) experimental. In bygone ages, by experimental knowledge, scientists so-called rationally assumed the earth was flat. However, thousands of years ago, the revealed knowledge of the Vedas so-called illogically described the earth as spherical. Thus, as verified by Western savants such as Einstein, even the experimental knowledge of modern scientists are originally dependent on the Vedas, which are arguably considered to be the original revealed knowledge in all of creation. As fully reproduced in Srila Prabhupada's book, Life Comes from Life, one of Prabhupada's disciples refuted the atheistic notions of a scientist by referring to the authenticity of the Vedas: "Scientists like to discredit the Vedas by saying that they are the writings of superstitious aborigines. But what kind of aborigines were they who wrote in a language so perfect in grammar, composition, poetry, and meter that a scholar needs twelve years to master the grammar alone? What kind of aborigines were they who could describe, thousands of years ago, all the planets that modern scientists have only recently discovered? Where is the scientist today who can perfectly describe the process of conception taking place in the womb, as the Vedic so-called aborigines did thousands of years ago? How could these uncivilized aborigines categorize and enumerate in the Vedas all the different species of life, numbering 8,400,000? How is it that the Vedas, which are supposed to be the dubious writings of uncivilized aborigines, contain systematic information on subjects such as music, medicine, art, politics, architecture, warfare, and psychology? How could uncivilized aborigines even know the arts of reading and writing, much less describe the atom and atomic energy? How could they give descriptions of the orbits of the planets, their size, their eclipses, and the size of the universe, and how could they describe the soul and the Supersoul, God? If Krishna is the Hindu aboriginal God, why did such a scientist as Oppenheimer pay Him heed by studying the Bhagavad-Gita spoken by Him? Why did Einstein, Schopenhauer, Kant, Hegel, Emerson, Thoreau, Schweitzer, and scores of scientists more important and brilliant than you read Vedic literature---especially Bhagavad-Gita---if these are books full of superstitions and the deranged ideas of uncivilized aborigines?...Do you think that these highly learned and honored men were all fools and rascals who had nothing better to do than spend their valuable time reading the writings of uncivilized aborigines? Or could it be that the Vedas are books of knowledge originally given by God at the beginning of the creation, and that they are preserved by being handed down in a Vedic tradition of disciplic succession about which you unfortunately know nothing? As a scientist, you would do well to take out some time and sincerely examine the Vedas on their own merit, not in terms of preconceived notions resulting from limited, imperfect speculations and experiments."

Hello my friend! Why don't you speak on your videos? I think they would be much more engaging.

@SpiritofDevotion Hare Krishna Prabhu. Thanks for your suggestion. However, I'm not to particularly fond of how my voice sounds on camera. Some people have talents to be public speakers etc. and some people don't. I'm one of them. Even in the Bhagavad-Gita (4.13) and (3.35) Krishna suggests that everyone is not meant to do the same thing as everyone else. Anyway, I appreciate you taking out the time to watch my video and make a comment. God bless.

@ChicagoZenith Its probably because you have recorded yourself with a low quality microphone. If you are not musician or experienced in recording this is a very common problem. The same with persons who say they can't sing. But I'm sure you could do just fine. In any case, keep up the good work. Nice videos.
