See if young Krishna can predict the future and regular Krishna can't, it simply means that StarKrishna is losing his mind and memory as he ages which tells us that he is not divine and he is not God.

These people are so brilliant ... they are StarBrilliant!! 😆

(that joke sounded much better in my mind ...)

the cv's are at fault, not the charecter, the cv's are trying to justify their mistakes through star krishna, otherwise star krishna is just like epic's krishna, and sheena, please tell me the meaning of the doha, my avadhi is a little weak.

You might not have meant it, but I am certainly not ignorant about MB, which I think is all that matters during a MB discussion, considering that MB is supposed to be the oldest of all the puranas. I take it as an offence being called ignorant. It's just that my belief systems are different from those of everybody else over here. I know nobody here is interested in knowing them but I'll still spell them out anyway. For me there is only one absolute higher power. And it does not have any name, form or definition or solution to moksha, certainly does not not come to earth to abolish adharma. And history is testimony to that. I 'believe' in the theory of evolution and the laws of nature verified by science rather than creationism. That does not mean I think lowly of those who do so without falling a victim to blind faith. (nothing personal about anybody here).

Ashwi, your post is very contradictory

You consider MB as oldest of purana and then in same breath almost dismiss the person called God in the purana. It is okay if you dismiss it, but as far as I know, in India, puranas are usually stories depicting some God or other. So you cannot consider MB as a purana while dismissing krishna as God.

Anyway still that is your opinion.

I want to point out your statement of falling victim to blind faith is also very judgemental, assumptive and again contradictory.

You can "believe" in evolution but if someone else believes in something else, it is victim to faith.

Differentiate between to believe and to have faith please.

You believe because you have theories verified by science, which in itself can be argued stands on a lot of hypothesis and beliefs itself,

So what gives you any right to question anyone's faith and judje them as falling victim?

A person can believe in Evolution and yet have faith in certain God.

I find it no way contradictory, since I myself do so.

How would you judge someone like me then?

Anyway sorry for butting in between Arijit and You.

I just felt, you should not have generalised something and being so judgemental.

When I say I believe in a higher power, I do so based on my personal experiences, not because I've read about it or have heard people preach about it. Yeah that may seem contradictory to my statement when I say I also believe in the theory of evolution.
