The same example. I am saying I am millions . . . I am owner of millions of dollars. And you ask me, "Give me some payment," "Yes, I give you post-dated check," will you accept? At present, if you give me five dollar, I see something tangible. And you're talking of big, big word, but you'll pay me in the future. So is it very sanguine proposal? And I am to accept it? So what kind of intelligent man I am also? You cannot produce even a grass by biological chemistry. You cannot do anything. Still you are claiming, "It is produced of chemistry, biology." What is this nonsense? Nobody questions?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: They say they'll be doing in the future.

Prabhupāda: That is nonsense. Future, that is not science. "Trust no future, however pleasant." This is the word. What is this? Everyone will say "future." "Trust no future, however pleasant." You may think it is very pleasurable. Why future? If you say that the biology, chemistry is the beginning of this life, so you are now so much advanced, why don't you create? Then what is the meaning of your advancement? You're talking nonsense.

Karandhara: They always say they're right on the verge.

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Karandhara: They always say they're right on the verge.

Prabhupāda: That is also the future, in a different way. You have to accept that you do not know still what is the truth. You are expecting in future. That, that is the proof that your knowledge is imperfect. Why future?

Svarūpa Dāmodara: Because their present knowledge cannot . . .

Prabhupāda: It is, it is something like giving post-dated check. I pay you one lakh of rupees, post-dated. Although I have no money . . . what is the value of that check? Will anybody accept that check? "Oh, I have received the money." That is foolishness. Why future? You are talking of future, and you are talking of perfectness at present. What is this nonsense? You are claiming that your science is perfect, and at the same time, when practical example wanted, you say, "I shall do it."

The same example. I am saying I am millions . . . I am owner of millions of dollars. And you ask me, "Give me some payment," "Yes, I give you post-dated check," will you accept? At present, if you give me five dollar, I see something tangible. And you're talking of big, big word, but you'll pay me in the future. So is it very sanguine proposal? And I am to accept it? So what kind of intelligent man I am also? You cannot produce even a grass by biological chemistry. You cannot do anything. Still you are claiming, "It is produced of chemistry, biology." What is this nonsense? Nobody questions?

Karandhara: Even it's produced by chemistry, there's laws . . .

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Karandhara: There's laws to those chemical reactions. They never consider who makes the laws.

Prabhupāda: Then? What is this? As soon as there is law, it must be considered that somebody made the law.
