Svarupa Damodara, March 2, 1975, Atlanta: When scientists examine this body in the minute details—they call the molecular levels—they find only molecules. They don’t see anything. For example, when they analyze the hand, they saw it—this is proteins, protein molecules, some fats, some carbohydrates, and they don’t see anything else except molecules.

And at the same time, when they study—they are called the biochemical pathways in the living cells—they find only these DNA molecules and the different molecules that carry out different activities. That is why they say that there is…, what we call life is just nothing but arrangement of these molecules in different ways. So that’s why they say that “Yes, life started actually from these molecules.”

Prabhupada: So why they cannot produce life from the molecules?

Svarupa Damodara: They’d say that when science started or knowledge started, it takes some time. It cannot come all in a sudden.

Prabhupada: So what is this knowledge? The molecules are already there.

Svarupa Damodara: But they’ll say in about, say, about two hundred, three hundred years ago, they didn’t know these molecules.

Rupanuga: They say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Prabhupada: No, no. It was not known to you, but what was the harm? And what is the benefit when you have known it?

Svarupa Damodara: Because, they say, without knowing, it’s not advancement of knowledge.

Prabhupada: But you have not known it. You have not known it. You cannot claim that you are advanced. You are still foolish. Why you are claiming advancement? You have not known it.

Svarupa Damodara: Yeah, but they are saying that “In due course of time we are going to know it.”
