US author offers 'Vedic alternative' to evolution theory

 

Kolkata, Oct 24: Offering a "Vedic alternative" to Darwin's Theory

of Evolution, an American author has claimed that human beings

devolved from the "realm of pure consciousness", as testified by

archaeological evidence discovered over the past 150 years.

 

"We did not evolve up from matter. Instead, we devolved, or came

down, from the realm of pure consciousness, spirit," author Michael A

Cremo, said, citing many archaeological, psychological and genetic

examples.

 

Cremo was speaking on the occasion of the launch of his book "Human

Devolution: A Vedic Alternative to Darwin's Theory" released by US

carmaker and Ford family scion Albert Ford here last evening.

 

Author of the 1993 bestseller 'Forbidden Archaeology' that sold over

20 million copies and translated into 23 languages, Cremo claimed

archaeological findings disproving Darwin's theory were being

systematically excluded from the academic circles in a bid

to "filter" knowledge.

 

"The problem is Darwinians hold a monopoly in the education system.

Students should be exposed to an alternative to his views which is

still a theory anyway," he said, adding that the need of the hour was

also to open an alternative education system.

 

Pointing out that nearly 80 per cent of people in the US did not

believe in Darwin's theory, Cremo said that his views on evolution

were "gradually finding acceptance".

 

"Of course, there are the fundamentalist Darwinians, but there is a

larger group who accept Darwin but want an alternative view. There is

yet another group which accept what I am saying," Cremo added.
