Accuracy Of Evolution Through Upanishads

Evolution theory is not true because it gives a vague explanation of how the world developed to be what it is today and it also fails to explain why it is no longer going on today. As absurd as it is there are people in the world today who believe it majority of them being atheist.

Then there is also the side to the Upanishads concept that all religions have which is making most followers believe that their teachings are the only truth and want to preserve their truth. This is dangerous because it leads to a set in stone way of thinking that causes there to be inequality and discrimination within the religion. One specific part of the Upanishads that leads to this type of one truth mindset is karma. In the Supreme Teaching section of the Upanishads it states that depending on what a person does in their life they either “become good” or “become evil” (Mascaró 140). This is in reference to reincarnation, but is a dangerous way of thinking because it may lead people to believe that a person’s situation of living is justified because they deserve it, even if they are in a very difficult living condition. People who believe that they deserve it will feel the need to let the ones who need help the most to fend for themselves because of this way of thinking that they deserve whatever obstacles and difficulties come their way. Therefore, creating the caste system. The caste

India's major religion, Hinduism, has no organization or definite beginning or end. Hinduism does, however, confirm the Caste system where the goal is to reach Brahman. This is achieved through the study of the Vedas, a holy book. The Vedas (holy books) are the most ancient Hindu holy books. For hundreds of year, the Veda teachings were never written down—they were only spoken or sang. Hundreds of years later The Upanishads were written down mostly to explain the ideas about Hinduism and how to practice the religion. In comparison with Jainism and Buddhism, Hinduism also has the concept of karma and reincarnation. In Contrast, Hinduism does have the concept of dharma, moral law. Hinduism not only grew to become the common religion in India, but also the third largest religion in the

Evolutionary creation is the model that holds that God created the earth and that God had a direct hand in the evolutionary processes of the earth. This model holds perfectly well with that God created the world and that He is guiding its evolutionary process. This, however, does not fit in a scientific scene in a way. Science states that the world was created by random assortment and by chance, not by a creator who had set a set plan for the world. This view does stand with the first few words that are said in Genesis, “in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters” (bible). The bible teaches us that

When compared to other religions, Hinduism is different in that it has no official founder, set of guidelines, or origin. The earliest account of the religion is among the Aryans, who were located in ancient India approximately 4000 years ago. Although Hinduism is categorized as a religion, the phrase does not begin to capture the complexity of the socio-philosophical way of life. In fact, the religion is riddled with uncertainty and viewpoints that are not always consistent. Reflectent of the Indian society, Hinduism is practiced by various denominations, races, and translated into just as many dialects. This fact alone has helped mold Hinduism into a very versatile practice. Despite of the heterogeneous mix of interpretations of the religion,

Aryans were living in the Indus valley. Their religion was filled with many gods. The Aryans would express their beliefs in hymns and holy scriptures, known as vedas. Hindus had a belief about one supreme cosmic god therefore, that god’s name was Brahman. Hindus teach that, whenever you die, most will undergo reincarnation, which is the rebirth of a soul in a new body. They also believed in karma, the effect of a person’s actions. For Hindus, dharma is a person’s duty or what is right for him or her. Dharma also includes the rule of ahimsa, which is avoiding do harm to any living thing. The final goal is moksha, which is liberation from reincarnation.

textbooks or taught by teacher. However, few students really think it through that is the evolution theory brought out by Darwin really reliable? In fact, I think there are still many uncertainties and flaws in this theory. For example, Darwin indicated that the force to make evolution happen is gene mutation. But we all know that almost all the gene mutation will lead to death because of abnormal biological processes. Like what Darwin has said, since the survivors must be more outstanding and more suitable to the environment, how could it be a product of gene mutation? It’s one of the illogical point in this theory. Besides, I don’t think scientists gave a really good explain of the fossils. Like I won’t believe that it’s true when archaeologist

The evolution of the Bible begins one hundred and fifty years after Jesus’ birth with Marcion of Pontus, a Christian theologian and heretic. He was a faithful Christian but was dissatisfied with the Jewish scripture because he believed that the God in the Old Testament was too harsh and legalistic. The God in the Hebrew Bible was not the same God depicted by Jesus was the God that he believed in. Without the churches consent, Marcion removed all traces of the Hebrew text (the Old Testament) from his bible. Of course, at the time, people did not take well to his alteration but he was a catalyst for the evolution of the Christian bible we know today.

When Hinduism originated as a religion it was mainly concerned with sacrifices for ancestors. The sacred texts - called the Vedas - on which Hinduism was based were the main root of the many different branches of Hindu philosophy. The Vedas originated around 1400-1200 BC. They consisted of several different documents, the oldest of them called the Rigveda. The Rigveda is considered to

The Upanishads, the final Vedic scripture, changed that to reflect the search of atman to be reunited with the universal soul through enlightenment. [ 3 ]

The Vedas are the oldest sacred books of Hinduism and lay the foundation of several schools of Hindu thought.[21] The Upanishads refers to those scriptures which form the core teachings of the Vedānta philosophy.[22] Adi Shankara's commentaries on the Upanishads led to the rise of Advaita Vedanta, the most influential sub-school of Vedanta.

The Vedic Aryans were based on the decent through the male line with nobles and priests, which later got broken down into the Indian castes. They were semi-nomadic cattle herders and had a sophisticated religious order and had gods of wind, water, fire, dawn, heaven and earth. The Aryans believed that the gods kept everything balanced in heaven and on earth and that above all these gods there was an a force of positivity and truth under the name of Rta which is the principle of natural order and what Hindus believe to be the concept of Dharma.

Upanishadic wisdom converged on a shared belief in a universal law that guided the abiding presence of religious and metaphysical forces in the lives of individuals and of the collective destiny of all things in the universe. The Upanishadic teachings help us to understand how yoga evolved.

Before we proceed further with the analysis of the construction of the Aryan civilization, it is important for us to understand the sources of Hindu Myths and the very texts from which history is gleaned.

‘Aryan’ is a linguistic term for ‘Indo-European’ (Robert & Westad 2014a). The Aryans brought to India no culture so advanced as that of Harappans (Robert & Westad 2014a). When the Aryans appear writing disappeared and does not come back until the middle of the first millennium BCE. Cities were reinvented by the Aryans, which lack the elaboration and order of the gridded pattern of Harappans (Robert & Westad 2014a). When the Aryans migrated into the Indus Valley they brought with them a culture that was very different from any other region (Breyer 2004). The invaders had two contributions to Indian history; it’s formal history and its social institutions (Robert & Westad 2014a). One of the biggest social institutions that the Aryans brought to India was the unique social structure; in their system every class had a duty to their society (Breyer 2004). Originally there were only three main classes or Varnas, but this changed to fit the civilisation in which they controlled (Breyer 2004). As religion and rituals were a major part of Indian life, it was only fitting that the priests and scholars were the highest class (Beyer 2004). They were called the Brahmans (Breyer 2004). Under the Brahmans were the ruling class or the Kshatriyas; this also included nobles and warriors (Breyer 2004). The third class was made up of the commoners they were called the Vaisyas. It was the fourth class that the servants and peasants made up, called Sudras. It was later on where another
