Bereft Of Science

THE AUTHOR FAILS TO EVEN PROVIDE RUDIMENTARY EVIDENCE FOR HIS EXTRAORDINARY CLAIMS

- Akshit Sangomla

PEDDLING INACCURATE information in the garb of scientific evidence has become increasingly common in recent times. This is even more dangerous for the pursuit of scientific development and the general scientific temperament among people than the random statements about ancient Indian science made at events like the Indian Science Congress. Vir Singh’s book Fertilizing the Universe: A New Chapter of Unfolding Evolution fits into this category.

The book uses Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and other entirely new hypotheses to build a new philosophy about the propagation of life in the universe. He makes a daring attempt of putting the evolution of life on Earth, especially that of humans, at the center of the story of the Universe. From the vantage point of humanity being the climax of evolution on the planet, it explains how life in other star systems and galaxies will exit Earth’s life.
