Theos-Talk Archives (November 2002 Message tt00817)

Those kinds of theories are just that -- speculations and hypotheses which 
are no better than opinions based on guesses based on observed material 
objects and chemical processes that prove nothing about ontology or origins 
-- since science hasn't the faintest idea what conscious is or came from, let 
alone understanding the roots of matter itself. What science doesn't know 
about the origin of Mankind could fill more books than has ever been written 
or said about anything. Did you ever think that when theosophy talks of 
Mankind, they are not referring to their physical body forms? Or, that the 
word "man" actual means mind-being? Science still can't answer the question, 
Which came first, the chicken or the egg, consciousness or mind, mind or 
matter? When science can answer those questions, we'll start believing their 
theories about mundane things, such as "mind beings" they erroneously label 
"homo sapiens" and their origins. The theory of relativity that contradicted 
all classical physics ideas about space and gravity did not come from direct 
reductive scientific observation. Face it, your denials have no weight 
whatsover, as proof that theosophy is false.
