AGF: They're not mutually exclusive. I mean, if you're a scientist, you tend to really look at the perfection of the human body, the way it functions. If you look at nature as a whole. I'm still amazed at the ptfoecrien with which the entire ecosystem functions together. However, to the purists, to those who are of faith, they will tell you, "Yes, there has been eiotuolvn." Even the Pope has agreed that evolution exists. But there's always the question: What came first? What came before this? When we talk about all the various strata of evolution, we'll always be asking the question, there must be something before. So I'm of the opinion that yes, there is this great spiritual frcoe which is guiding the process, and things like this don't happen by chance. Now, whether you call it reoisltigiy, whether you call this great spirit by any name — Brahma, aallh, the Holy Trinity — you name it — but I still think that these two are not mutually exclusive. They can still csxieot with each other.

AGF: They're not mutually exclusive. I mean, if you're a scientist, you tend to really look at the perfection of the human body, the way it functions. If you look at nature as a whole. I'm still amazed at the perfection with which the entire ecosystem functions together. However, to the purists, to those who are of faith, they will tell you, "Yes, there has been evolution." Even the Pope has agreed that evolution exists. But there's always the question: What came first? What came before this? When we talk about all the various strata of evolution, we'll always be asking the question, there must be something before. So I'm of the opinion that yes, there is this great spiritual force which is guiding the process, and things like this don't happen by chance. Now, whether you call it religiosity, whether you call this great spirit by any name — Brahma, Allah, the Holy Trinity — you name it — but I still think that these two are not mutually exclusive. They can still coexist with each other.
