Dear Myers

Hello. Hare Krishna!

That is my point. If you can instead find a perfect authority and get the
knowledge from Him then you have perfect absolute knowledge. It is better than
science.

But where are the error-free experiments? All conditioned souls have four defects:
we have the tendency to cheat, we make mistakes, we are illusioned [we accept
something as fact which is not a fact], and we have imperfect senses. All
scientific research is flawed  because of these imperfections...

That is cheating. It is fraud on the part of the scientists. You are allowing your
scientific "theories" to be taught as "facts" in the schools. They teach the  big
bang and evolution as facts... but they are just ideas, that's all. It has not
been established that there ever was a big bang nor has it been proven the variety
of life could have possibly formed through natural selection alone... But they are
teaching these things as facts and scoffing at the only consistent and logical
explanation, that there is an intelligent being behind the creation..

This is creating a hellish world where people are only interested in satisfying
themselves. They have no finer sentiments. Just eat well, get lots of sex, live in
a comfortable house and defend themselves. They have become worse than animals and
this is the contribution of science to the society...

"O conqureor of wealth [Arjuna], there is no truth superior to Me [Krishna],
everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread." (Bhagavad-gita 7.7)
