Scientists or Dogmatists?

By consulting a dictionary we can understand that someone who holds a viewpoint which is based upon insufficiently examined premises is a dogmatist. In other words instead of basing his understanding on sound observation, reasoning, and analysis, he blindly accepts things without due consideration. And on the other hand, a scientist is someone who after careful observation, investigation, and consideration possesses factual knowledge of things as they are as distinguished from ignorance, illusion, or speculation.

So my question is: According to the above definitions are the modern day scientists actually scientists, or are they dogmatists?

The modern day scientists cling tightly to the idea that life comes from matter. But yet there is not even one scientifically verifiable example of a living thing being produced from dead matter. The concept that life arises from a chance combination of material elements is mere speculation. It has simply been pulled out of the air. The real situation is quite different. We see everywhere around us that life comes from life. We see that living beings are produced by other living beings. Based on simple empirical observation we can easily see that the concept "Life comes from life," is a valid scientific principle and that the concept "Life comes from matter," lacks scientific validity. Therefore we can rightfully and positively conclude that the so-called scientists are in fact dogmatists. They are not scientists at all, although through the art of sophisticated word jugglery they are very expert at posing themselves as such.

Answers According to the Vedic Version:

Question: Why Constant Problems?

I am regularly reading your "Thought for the Day" without fail. Every day when I go on the Internet I first of all read your ultimate self-realization email. When I read your words I feel very energized and blessed by Krishna to increase my Krishna consciousness. But why is Lord Krishna giving me constant problems?

Your servant,

Vanga

Answer: Constant Blessings

You are mistaken in thinking that Krishna is giving you constant problems. You must transcendentalize your vision to see how Krishna is giving you constant blessings, because every apparent problem is another opportunity to increase your surrender unto Lord Sri Krishna more and more and thus become more and more blissful in Krishna consciousness.
