Dr.Santosh Helekar answered:
What is the rationale for the above statement? How did
you arrive at this conclusion? Is it a self-evident
truth?
Objective scientific evidence indicates that the
emergence of any kind of intelligence (superior or
inferior) in nature requires the emergence of a brain
or a nervous system. There is absolutely no objective
evidence or rational basis for a disembodied
intelligence.
*--It is a metaphysical, self-evident principle. The scientists,
themselves, are divided about the matter. The physicist Charles Townes writes:
"I do not understand how the scientific approach alone, as separated from
a religious approach, can explain an origin of all things. It is true that
physicists hope to look behind the �big bang,� and possibly to explain the
origin of our universe as, for example, a type of fluctuation. But then, of
what is it a fluctuation and how did this in turn begin to exist? In my view,
the question of origin seems always left unanswered if we explore from a
scientific view alone."
