So many rascal chemists, they say that the chemical evolution is the cause of life. What is this nonsense? Chemical evolution, you get the chemicals and make a experiment and produce life. Then your proposal is all right that by chemical evolution there is life. No, that is not possible.

Devotees: Teletype.

Prabhupāda: Teletype, yes. You push here "a", and the other end the "a" will immediately strike. There is no need of another person typing. But how it is being done? There is electronic arrangement by higher scientist. Not that. . . Ordinary typewriter will not. No. Suppose if you keep one typewriter at your brother's place and you put it here, will it strike there? (laughter) Why? Because there is no arrangement. There's no arrangement. So these are common sense, but the rascals will not understand that without a touch of the living entity nothing can be done. The supreme living entity is Kṛṣṇa. Therefore it is said, mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ suyate sa-carācaram (BG 9.10): "I am the cause of the material energy working." Parasya śaktiḥ vividhaiva śruyate. There is parasya śaktiḥ. Now who can explain how this flower has come into existence? That is same thing. The energy of Kṛṣṇa is working. Just like you want to paint one nice flower, so you have to take the brush and the color and you have to endeavor. Not that automatically coming, the beautiful flower. So how do you think this beautiful flower has come automatically? This is foolishness. There is also the brush, the paint, but it is so perfect that just like you cannot see how the other typewriter is striking. . . You cannot say it is automatically striking. There is arrangement. But this arrangement you do not understand. Therefore you are foolish, you are thinking that this typewriter is striking automatically. It is not automatically. Here the other typewriter it is stroken and there is electric arrangement, and it is striking.

So you have to understand like. . . That is sura. And asura, they will say, "No, there is no God. It is taking automatically, it is going on." This is foolishness. The asura means foolish, first-class foolish, that's all. Why it has become so? That is explained here, that they do not know how to behave, nāpi cācāraḥ. Na satyaṁ teṣu vidyate (BG 16.7), neither they know what is the actual truth. They are defective themselves, and they are explaining in their defective way that. . . So many rascal chemists, they say that the chemical evolution is the cause of life. What is this nonsense? Chemical evolution, you get the chemicals and make a experiment and produce life. Then your proposal is all right that by chemical evolution there is life. No, that is not possible. You have got all the chemicals. Why don't you revive a dead man by injecting those chemicals again into life? Where is your power? So why do you talk foolishly like that? This should be challenged, that "You are foolish number one."

Actually, it so happened in California. One big chemist, he came there to lecture the chemical evolution, by mixing of chemical life has come into existence. So there was one student, he is my disciple, Dr. Svarūpa Dāmodara, he said that (break) . . .first-class cheater, that's all. Mūḍhā. Mūḍhā na, māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ (BG 7.15). There is no substance . . . (indistinct) . . ., and people are suffering for want of this knowledge. That is Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, that we are trying to bring people in true platform of knowledge, not to increase death like these rascals and fools. That is our proposal. They are trying to obstruct us, because if everyone becomes Kṛṣṇa conscious then they can't cheat anyone.
