Matter can neither be created nor distroyed it just changes the form. Does cycle of rebirth support it?

Question

If matter can neither be created not distroyed it just changes its form. Some religions say after taking birth in 86,000 species we are born as human being & then we get moksha. Darwin's theory of Evolution also says something like this. As we have evolved from simple to complex. As from Unicellular to multicellular. From Protozoa to Chordata. From Amoeba to Homo sapians. Can it be true?
I am thinking spirituallity scientifically. I don't know how far I am right.

Answer 1

Hindu philosophy supports the evolution....not exactly in Darwin's form.

Hinduism says, the whole unverse is a combination of Consciouness and Energy. Our body, mind and ego are made up of energy

And Energy cant be destroyed (Matter can be destroyed). ... enrgy can be transformed into another form.... so the consiousness emerges from matter and the mind transforms the matter into living beings.

Hence it is the evoltuion of mind from matter, which takes place in evolution... mind brings necessary changes in bodies to adapt to its needs.

When we die, the Energy in form of our thoughts and mind can not be destroyed...hence it takes re-birth through another body to continue its journey on the path of divinity

Answer 2

It is energy which can be neither created nor destroyed. All material things share common characteristics. They are here for a time, they whither, and they lose form. Darwin was partially right, but it isn't the forms that are evolving. The forms are here already. It is the soul, or energy, that transmigrates from one form to the next, according to the consciousness of the individual. If you have a very limited consciousness, you may have the body of a plant. Once you give up that body, you may move to the body of a bird, or a beast. We obtain a higher level of consciousness with each successive body, until we reach the body of a human, which has the highest level of consciousness on this planet. Once obtaining the human body, we have the opportunity to use this advanced consciousness to stop the cycle of birth and death, through education, self awareness, and enlightenment. If we do not properly utilize this form, we again enter the cycle of repeated forms.

Darwin was not concerned with the consciousness, only the material body. But, the soul is not material. The body is material only, and can do nothing of it's own accord. Without the existence of the soul, the material body cannot be animated, cannot reproduce, and cannot undergo environmental adaptation. Therefore, we can understand that it is not the body that is the cause of evolution, but the energy that animates the body. It is the energy that is changing from one body to the next.

Answer 3

You are wrong, matter can be destroyed. Scientist discovered a thing called antimatter some time ago. When antimatter comes into contact with matter, both are annihilated. Scientist theorize that for every atom of matter there is an atom of antimatter. The problem is that they cannot figure out what happened to all the antimatter. Some have theorized that there is an anti-universe, made up entirely of antimatter. What is interesting is that Gnostics had a similar conception over 2000 years ago. They believed there was a realm of darkness that contained all matter, and a realm of light that was devoid of matter. They believed that we are in the realm of darkness, they called the realm of light the pleroma, or heaven. They also believed that the true God of the pleroma, cannot have direct contact with this realm without destroying it. Hence, the need of Christ as a conduit between this realm and the realm of light, and why he said nobody gets to the Father except through him.

Answer 4

First of all, what is matter? We evolved from the earth. Our mother, when she was pregnant, ate food which was "matter" that came from the earth. The earth is "Matter." The matter from the earth comes in many forms and each form has "minerals" (also Matter). Some of these Minerals come in forms that can be consumed by women who's' body changes the form once again. They change this Matter or Minerals into a form that becomes our brain and spine and eventually our fetus and so on. We are the products or the matter that our mother ate; that she got from the soil of the earth.

My point is that this matter was not created, it is being recycled. and when we die, we would recycle right back into the earth except for the fact that we put our bodies into $5,000 boxes that keep us from naturally decomposing back into the earth.

Everything that evolves would not evolve if not for the Earths' existence.

The spirit is not "Matter" but it needs "matter" to convey its self (kind of like electricity needs a conductor).

Answer 5

that is totally exciting; yet, the reality is not any individual is prevalent with. some posit that the Universe, all its contents, continually existed, others that remember can spontaneously pop into life from the quantum vacuum, or that this universe replaced into made from the means of alternative universe(s), etc. We see the conservation of means contained in the international round us. it truly is why we trust the regulation to be authentic... a minimum of lower than the situations we stay in. technological awareness is in reaction to commentary. we are able to note what occurs now, so all of us know what occurs now. we received't note what befell 14 billion years in the past, so we do not know what befell then. we are able to theorize, besides the undeniable fact that that is like attempting to seem over the sting of a cliff. On an upbeat note: we are getting extra useful at smashing debris (e.g. CERN), so we would want to be entering into the route of creating the primordial particle soup/foam of the early Universe. meaning lets get a extra useful concept of ways remember/means act at that factor, besides the undeniable fact that it would not assure it will make it extra reachable to take a position on the reason of the large Bang. it might want to develop extra questions.

Answer 6

You'll find that Hindus, Buddhists and various Eastern religions are not much threatened by science because it is often a supportive correlation, such as reincarnation jiving with the alteration of matter.

Answer 7

Two things: first, matter and spirit are two different things.
second, as matter and spirit are two different things, it´s evolution is also different.

neither matter or spirit can be created or destroyed, as Sri Krishna states in the Bhagavad Gita (see Bhagavad Gita as it is, by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada), but the destination each one gets after the moment of death is very different. While matter, which is death and external to living entity, has to return to the basic elements (land, water, fire, air and ether), or its components (molecules and atoms), spirit, which is the soul, the living force, the person itself, has to accept a new body according to it´s past activities. In this way, moksa or liberation is not been attained just for born as a human being, but for occupate oneself on yajña, or sacrifice. there are different kinds of sacrifices ment to get different kinds of goals. Sacrifices to get moksa are directly directed to satisfy and please the Supreme Personality of Godhead, God, Who has different names depend on the place or time one is situated. Sacrifice for this age, where severe performances of rituals and penances are so difficult to realise for not having the strenght or the money enough, or the silent and retired place it requires, or the mastery it needs, in this age where hypocrisy and quarrel is the currency, is the performance of the sankirtana yajña, the one that´s recommended.

sankirtana yajña is the congregational chanting of the holy names of God. Every nation, every culture, every civilisation has at least one, when not few, names of God that can be praised, glorified, and chanted by a number of persons who really desire to re-obtain it´s ancient relationship with God, which has been lost.

In every religion there is the commandment of chant the names of God, and the best prayer or mantra is the maha-mantra "hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare / hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare".

Answer 8

Newish technology dating from the first atomic bomb and forward shows that matter can indeed be destroyed... use of the supercolliders shows creation and recombination. Particle physics, demonstrated through heavy water facilities, shows four common particles to all things (known) and these particles actually "evolve" or "adapt" (basically change) as they travel through space, time, and solids...

So... try again.

Answer 9

In this way the living entity gets a suitable body with a material mind and senses, according to his fruitive activities. When the reaction of his particular activity comes to an end, that end is called death, and when a particular type of reaction begins, that beginning is called birth. Srimad Bhagavatam 3.31.44,

purport to above verse by
A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada,
Founder-Acharya of ISKCON
(International Society for Krishna Consciousness)
From time immemorial, the living entity travels in the different species of life and the different planets, almost perpetually. This process is explained in Bhagavad-gita, Bhramayan sarva-bhutani yantrarudhani mayaya: [Bg. 18.61] under the spell of maya, everyone is wandering throughout the universe on the carriage of the body offered by the material energy. Materialistic life involves a series of actions and reactions. It is a long film spool of actions and reactions, and one life-span is just a flash in such a reactionary show. When a child is born, it is to be understood that his particular type of body is the beginning of another set of activities, and when an old man dies, it is to be understood that one set of reactionary activities is finished.
We can see that because of different reactionary activities, one man is born in a rich family, and another is born in a poor family, although both of them are born in the same place, at the same moment and in the same atmosphere. One who is carrying pious activity with him is given a chance to take his birth in a rich or pious family, and one who is carrying impious activity is given a chance to take birth in a lower, poor family. The change of body means a change to a different field of activities. Similarly, when the body of the boy changes into that of a youth, the boyish activities change into youthful activities.

It is clear that a particular body is given to the living entity for a particular type of activity. This process is going on perpetually, from a time which is impossible to trace out. Vaishnava poets say, therefore, anadi karama-phale, which means that these actions and reactions of one's activity cannot be traced, for they may even continue from the last millennium of Brahma's birth to the next millennium. We have seen the example in the life of Narada Muni. In one millennium he was the son of a maidservant, and in the next millennium he became a great sage.

Answer 10

i do agree with you that our spiritual life is much the same as our physical life , in that we evolve and advance
some may say this happens with reincarnation , i personally believe in spirit world
either way death is not the end
