barney Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 It is still the most interesting fact that the model in its essence corresponds completely to ancient Veda descriptions of the world. According to texts in Bhagavad-Gita, which is accepted as the essence of Upanishad: ..." With the start of Brahma's day, this multitude of living creatures is created, and with the arrival of Brahma's night, they are all destroyed...According to "human measurement", a thousand ages together make one Brahma's day, and his night lasts just as long. One Yuga cycle lasts 4,300,000 years. It is estimated that twelve Brahma's hours equal 4,300,000 times 1000 years, and the duration of Brahma's night is just the same. One month is comprised of thirty such days, and one year of twelve months. Brahma lives a hundred such years...Destruction of the material world happens in two ways. Partial destruction of the world occurs every 4,300,000*1000 sun years, or at the end of Brahmaloka, which is the highest planet of the material world. During this partial destruction, the highest planets such as Brahmaloka are not destroyed, but at the end of every period of 4,300,000*1000*2*30*12*100 sun years, the entire cosmic manifestation sinks into immaterial body..." One can note here that the terms "space" and "time" are treated as completely equal, serving to describe the same reality, which we "western people" can only wonder at (and admire it). The destruction of the material world mentioned in the passage should not be taken literally (which is possible as the sentences are taken out of context of the original text). According to Hindu eschatology the Universe and the circle of its re-creation completely correspond to the individual circle of periodic transfers of the soul, so during the "great break up" the entire Universe is completely emptied, and only Prakrti remains (original indifference and immobility of matter) while the original spirit Purusha draws all souls into itself. After this a new cycle begins. Out of Prakrti a new Brahman appears to create a new world, and the original spirit Purusha and all souls are resurrected (...). The similarity to our model isn't just qualitative. If we calculate the time between one "birth" and "destruction" of the world (4,300,000*1000*2*30*365*24*60*60) we get the figure of 9.76*1021 seconds. It is almost fascinating that the time of one period (or oscillation) of Eternal Oscillating Universe has been estimated at 100 billion years, which is 3.15*1021 seconds, which corresponds amazingly precisely with the "duration of one Brahma's life"...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 was one who noted how accurate the Hindu concept of time is. With the Bible, people were so afraid to date the age of mankind past 6,000 BC. However, that does not mean that the Bible is wrong. Or the Vedas. They could have both been saying the same thing, though in a different language and expressing it differently. I believe kundalini is the real connection behind all religions. Some religions seem to have gone away from emphasizing this mystical concept, but Hinduism is all about activating this kundalini and understanding what it is and how it works.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 The Bible, as interpreted by these creationists, is just nutty. The whole idea of a "young earth" is preposterous. While I would believe that civilizations could have peaked just like ours and been wiped away clean, there's no way I could believe that the earth is really young. It completely disregards fossil evidence, evidence of past civilizations, etc. If these creationists truly believe the Bible says this and that it's RIGHT, they're not dealing with a full deck.
