  This world is designed to be frustrating. Nothing will ever be perfect
  here. If it were we would have no impetus to go to the spiritual world.
  You will never be able to solve all the problems.

"After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogis in devotion, never
return to this material world, which is full of miseries, because they 
have attained the highest perfection."

  The difficulty is we are working on a different premise. Your premise 
  is everything can be explained by chemical reactions only. My premise
  is matter doesn't move without the touch of spirit. You say "life" is a
  combination of chemicals. I know "life" is a spiritual force completely
  different from matter. There is much evidence supporting my view and I
  have presented some of it but because you do not accept my premise that
  there is a spiritual component as well as a material one you don't
  accept my evidence.

  I see, from my perspective, that science has failed to justify it's
  claims and can not back up the notion that like comes from chemicals.
  We see life coming from life around us all the time... that is
  sufficient evidence that life comes from life. But you say, without
  proof, without experiments, without even any real idea of how it
  happens that life comes from chemicals. This is sentiment not science.

  Hare Krishna. 


Thank you. Hare Krishna!
