I would like to shut up and wait until a BK answers this question ... but I cannot! I cannot expect it. To consider such a thought would shatter their dream.
I remember an otherwise intelligent, personable Christian telling me that the fossils were planted by Satan to fool individuals into not believing The Bible ... Is the BK answer any better?
Physics is just Maya, an illusion. The product of vicious Yadavas [ - even though India has a fine record in physics, mathematics and astronomy ].
Neither help you sustain your infatuation with this disincarnate being, so what is the point of thinking of either of them?
"Dadi Janki did not get to where she is to day by understanding cosmology ... and if she can become 'One of the Eight' without doing so why should you?" Ha, ha! Just "Spin The Cycle" and Remember Baba, Bhai.What is interesting to observe is not the silence from the BK camp which cannot answer these questions. They are cruel to consider asking BKs. But is that part in all of us, all human beings, that is willing to silently accept stuff that it knows is absurd, contrary to logic and common sense, or conflicts with other stuff it also accepts. Or that same part which is susceptible enough to minor peer pressure to take on board such beliefs, teach them to others and play a daily part is sustaining them. An energy sapping internal dissonances that we are prepared to live with. My feeling is that Indians are, due to their cultural and religious heritage, much more willing and able to live with these.
From "
the Emperor without any clothes" to hypnosis, to the regular rise of Nazi-like Parties ... my feeling is that it is the same part, an internal liability, that is built in each and every one of us. What is the relationship between that part and the other collective part that will rise up against others, persecute heretics, burn books or whatever? And is not the BK that brings these questions treated like a heretic?
I have never thought this before ... but did you ever meet a BK with a large library? All the books had been burnt out of their minds before they were even bought.Many years ago, there was an Emperor, who was so excessively fond of new clothes, that he spent all his money in his appearance ...
