Dr. Wolf-Rottkay: Śrīla Prabhupāda, I think if they're trying to create life, they want to claim authorship.
Prabhupāda: Eh?
Dr. Wolf-Rottkay: They want to create authorship by creating life. They want to say, "We did it," but they do not understand that they will never. . .
Prabhupāda: What do they want to claim by creating life?
Rūpānuga: Authorship.
Dr. Wolf-Rottkay: Originators. They want to be. . .
Prabhupāda: Origin is already there. How you can be originator? Already life is there. How you can be originator? That is your foolishness.
Rūpānuga: They're simply trying to disprove Kṛṣṇa. "If I can do this," they're saying, "if I can create life, then there's no need to postulate a God. I can be God."
Prabhupāda: That means demon.
Rūpānuga: Yes, they want to be God. Their vision is. . .
Prabhupāda: So how we can respect the demons? We cannot.
Rūpānuga: No. We'll not give them any credit.
Prabhupāda: The other fools, they can give some respect, but we are not going to do that. We say, "You will never be able." We can say. This rascal, we can give some knowledge, that "Your this attempt will be failure." Because we know life cannot be created. How he will create? We know the formula, na jāyate. So how this rascal will be able to create? I am not a scientist, but on the strength of Bhagavad-gītā's assertion, na jāyate na mriyate: "Neither it is created; neither it dies." So if somebody wants to create, then at once we shall call him a fool. We have got test tube. Very boldly we shall say. Now let them prove that he can create. This is our position. So Kṛṣṇa conscious person, he has got very strong position. He speaks just what Kṛṣṇa speaks. That's all, finished.
Rūpānuga: They're like you described yesterday, when the scorpion comes from the rice. They think that when some living entity becomes manifest that he's been created. That's because the material. . .
Prabhupāda: That also he cannot do.
Rūpānuga: No.
Prabhupāda: How the scorpion is coming out of rice, that they do not know. Such a foolish person, he is scientist.
