[MD] Consciousness, Cosmology and Science -- an Advaitic Analysis

[plattholden at gmail.com]

Hey Dwai,

Excellent article. Thanks for sharing. Among many salient points there 
was this:

"Yes, cosmologists tell us that the Big Bang happened because of 
spontaneous quantum fluctuations. But is that really an explanation? 
Certainly not."

So much for the "Oops" crowd who try to bamboozle the unsuspecting 
public with  "spontaneous," "chance," "random" and "emergence" as 
scientific (and thus credible) explanations of evolution.   

Regards,
Platt
