Hṛdāyānanda: . . .puffed up with knowledge.

Prabhupāda: What is their knowledge, nonsense? He has knowl . . .? Have they knowledge?

Bhagavān: They're trying to prove that sense gratification is bona fide.

Guru-kṛpā: And the explanation of . . .

Prabhupāda: And where is sense gratification? As soon as nature kicks you out, where is your sense gratification?

Hṛdāyānanda: It's a relative thing. Actually, compared to the ordinary man, he's much more intelligent.

Prabhupāda: What is intelligence?

Hṛdāyānanda: He's thinking that "I know so many things, and these other people, they don't know these things. Therefore I'm better than them."

Prabhupāda: So the birds and beasts, they know better than you many things. There are many birds and beasts.

Guru-kṛpā: "They can't . . . They can't explain it."

Prabhupāda: Eh?

Guru-kṛpā: "They can't explain it."

Prabhupāda: You also cannot explain. What is explaining? All nonsense.

Guru-kṛpā: "Well, I can explain."

Prabhupāda: "Perhaps." "Might be." "It was like this and that . . ." What is that explanation?

Guru-kṛpā: Well, the common man doesn't challenge that.

Prabhupāda: Mean common men are fool. But why we should accept?

Bhagavān: If they could really explain it, so many things would not be going wrong.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Bhagavān: If they could actually explain it, so many things would not be going wrong. The thing is, their explanation causes more problems.

Satsvarūpa: But they say that . . . When we say that everything is done by Kṛṣṇa, they say that's also "perhaps," "maybe." They don't see . . .

Prabhupāda: No, we have got evidence. Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate (BG 10.8). We have got evidence.

Satsvarūpa: As we don't accept theirs, they don't accept ours.

Prabhupāda: You don't accept . . . You don't . . . Why shall I accept you? You don't accept me; I don't accept you. Why you become authority?

Guru-kṛpā: Then they say "Finished. Get out."

Prabhupāda: Yes. No, my question is that "Why they become atheists, a little knowledge, so-called scientists?"

Madhudviṣa: They have to become atheists.

Prabhupāda: Hmm?

Madhudviṣa: They have to become atheist. If they don't become atheists, then they can't play their games anymore. The idea of their research finishes as soon as you admit that there is God. But if you say, "There's no God," then they can research. It was explained that . . .

Prabhupāda: They can continue to befool you, that, and take money. And as soon as you don't give them money, there is no research. Then they starve.

Puṣṭa Kṛṣṇa: We've seen, though, from examples in the Vedic literatures like Viśvakarma and Āyur-vedic medicine, that it's possible to engage in architecture, medicine, such activities, without being atheistic. So it must not simply be that they're scientists, but that they're actually . . .
