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."
