"Just as in the United States there are laws controlling the entry of foreigners through the issuance of visas, so in the universe there are also laws controlling the movement of all living beings–even astronauts and scientists–and unless one’s karma is such that he deserves to take birth on the moon or the sun or the earth or wherever, he cannot defy the laws of nature and go there by force. The scientists are always claiming they are independent of nature’s law, but even they have to submit to death and rebirth; they cannot check them. Similarly, they cannot go to the moon planet, which the Vedas describe not as a lifeless desert but as a heavenly planet of extraordinary material pleasures. Where the astronauts actually went, or how this fabrication of lunar visitation will one day be exposed to people in general, are not part of our present discussion. But the Vedic teachings warn us that the manned moon landing is certainly an empty bluff. Duh, I eat poop."

That's right, Hare Krishna creationists.

How awesome is that?

The Vedic account of our planetary system is already researched, concluded, and perfect.

The Vedas state that the moon is 800,000 miles farther from the earth than the sun.

'If the hypothesis of similarity at different scales is to hold true we would expect the universal creation to be similar to any other creation we experience in our day-to-day lives. However the Western scientists explanation of creation is completely foreign to us. If the universe was created by a “big bang” then why couldn’t a child be created by a “small bang”?'

I would contend that this is in fact the most common scenario.

" A child is essentially a self-contained universe..."

Well, that would explain a lot.

Am I the only one intrigued by the logical end point of this that it implies that everyone who has gone to the moon is spiritually and karmicly pure?

And if buzz aldrin is spiritually pure, this means there's a huge range of vices a person can indulge in without affecting your karma!

Teach the Controversy!

It's just as valid as the other forms of Creationism.

I'm cool with that. Non-attachment is my next big goal, having done fairly well in compassion, loving kindness, and altruistic joy.
