Svarūpa Dāmodara: Even Billy Graham says there's no soul in the dog. In his column, "My Answer" . . . there's a column by Billy Graham . . .
Hari-śauri: That's that column you saw.
Prabhupāda: So you challenge them, the scientists.
Svarūpa Dāmodara: Somebody asked that "I love my dog. Looks like the dog comes when I call and behaves very nicely." So this questioner was asking that the dog might have soul. So he asked Billy Graham, "What do you think?" So Billy Graham was saying that, "No, dog has no soul."
Prabhupāda: This is dogmatic. This is not scientific, it is dogmatic.
Rūpānuga: He could not support his statements.
Prabhupāda: So dogmatic, you can say any nonsense, but philosophy and science is different. If he's talking on dogmatic platform, then what is his value? What does he mean by "soul is there" and "soul is not there"? How does he prove?
Rūpānuga: We were finding that there are some real scientific experiments like Pasteur's, the one that we did in the slide show the other night, and some of the work of Bose, that have been ignored simply or misinterpreted. Already there has been some work in this area. So we were thinking that we can point to these as examples to confirm our position, because they are scientific.
Prabhupāda: Now, in Christian commandment, there is "Thou shall not kill." So what does it mean?
