Life Comes From Life is an impromptu but brilliant critique of some of the presumptions and theories of modern science and scientists. Science has long assumed and promoted the idea that everything we see around is made of matter, and that all natural phenomena, including biological, physiological, psychological and cosmological, can ultimately be broken down and explained in terms of the workings of fundamental particles such as electrons, and protons governed by physical and chemical laws. In particular Srila Prabhupada, *one of the greatest philosophers and scholars of the twentieth century, analyses and uncovers the hidden and unfounded assumptions underlying two of the modern science's principal. theories - the theories of the origin of life and the theory of diversity of biological species (theory of evolution.

For people who have come to accept every pronouncement of modern scientists as tested and proven truth, this book will be an eye-opener. Life Comes from Life is an impromptu but brilliant critique of some of the dominant policies, theories, and presuppositions of modern science and scientists by one of the greatest philosophers and scholars of the century, His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada's vivid analysis uncovers the hidden and blatantly unfounded assumptions that underlie currently fashionable doctrines concerning the origins and purpose of life. This book is based on taped morning-walk conversations that Srila Prabhupada had with some of his disciples during 1973, in the Los Angeles area. On those mornings when he focused on science, Srila Prabhupada spoke mainly with his disciple Thoudam D. Singh, Ph.D. An organic chemist, Dr. Singh presently directs the Bhaktivedanta Institute, an international center for advanced study and research in science, philosophy, and theology.

Once upon a time (as in a fairy tale), most of us believed that the food we ate was basically wholesome, nutritious, and free from dangerous chemicals, that advertising was believable, and that product labels truly described the qualities and contents of what we ate. Once upon a time, most of the world believed in the integrity of our heads of state, high-ranking political officials, and local leaders. Once upon a time, we thought our children were getting a solid education in the public schools. Once upon a time, many of us believed atomic energy had "peacetime uses" that were perfectly safe and congruous with a happy and healthy society.
