Sherlock Holmes and the Tweaking of Time – part 2

Sherlock Tweaking Time part 2

“In a 100 years or so, scientists will discover that molecules and living cells are much more complicated than your Darwin could ever imagine. They are more complex than your modern city of London. Math and reason tells us that the elements do not randomly fall into such patterns. There must be a superior blue print plan to such complexity, it cannot be random events.”

Hmm, Sherlock thinks, interesting, we seem to lack empirical evidence for some of these scientific claims, yes, very interesting….

Sherlock glances behind him and catches a glimpses of Moriarty sitting on the back row … in obvious disguise, his hat tilted down as if to conceal his face. Sherlock thinks, does Moriarty think me so dim as to not detect this thinly veiled subterfuge?

Moriarty simultaneously thinks, ah, Sherlock glancing backwards, pretending as if not to notice me. A transparent stab at deception…

“Some yogis have done amazing feats in ancient past,” continued Chakradari. “Like the instant creation of huge machines that fly in the sky, airplanes called Vimanas…..”

Cock and bull stories, indeed! thought Watson.

Chandra said, “Yes, and some demons have acquired the 8 mystic powers, in the past, and they have created havoc in human society. Once in ancient India some demon created a huge flying citadel and gave havoc to Lord Krishna and His city…..”

Yes, thought Moriarty, that’s what I like. In fact, I will build a machine that will cheat old father time himself, heh heh. I’m tired of these schilling-ante crimes, I need sometime big, really big. I think I know what…. mystic powers, indeed….

Chakradari continued, “It is known that 100 years in the future, scientists will prove many of these eternal truths we have spoken upon today, things known by the sages of India, since long forgotten times of antiquity, 5000 years ago, … the truths of God, and of the soul … and the soul’s transmigration through this wondrous world of God’s handiwork of divine creation.”

What a load of clap trap! thought Watson. These primitives knew nothing of civilization until the English came to teach it to these wretches!

Sherlock whispered low, “How in the deuce can they claim that in one hundred years, these things will come to pass?”

Thinking in that same vein, a man in the audience asked, “How can you say this … in a 100 years? How can you possibly know these things?”

Chandra replied, “There is another mystic perfection is called tri-kala-jna, wherein the adept can see all events past, present and future, as if he had taken a time machine into the future and has come back to tell us of all these prophetic events.”

Now that’s what I’m talking about! thought Moriarty, A time machine that propels a man into the future … there’s the ticket!

Chandra continued, “It will always seem to some men that every religion has it’s elements of myth. However, we find these same elements of myth in every ideology, even our modern science.”

“You say myth in Science?” inquired a man from the audience.

“Yes,” said Chandra, “in the next century, they will say that the universe began with a big bang, an explosion. Rather, they will say it was an expansion from a singular point in place and time, and the universe formed, or expanded from this point in space. But, what’s the difference anyway, between an explosion and the so-called expansion? Both suggest a singular point of tremendous energy, building up and moving outwards from itself. From either definition, there is the result of this inexplicable arrangement of the universe, the perfect atoms and molecules of infinite complexity, and these amazing planets moving in precise orbits, and fiery suns of inexhaustible energy, giving light and energy and life to the planets.

“Before this expansion, they will say that there was no space, no matter, nothing existed, and no life forms existed. They don’t know how the big bang started, what started it, they claim that it just happened … somehow, it just happened….”

A wry smile graced Chandra’s lips as he described this ludicrous idea.

“However, from our experience, we see that all explosions, or so-called random expansions of nature, they result in general chaos and ugliness, not in the creation of beauty and order. We have no experience of some creative energy suddenly appearing from nowhere, and then turning inert materials into amazing creations. We call this a myth of so-called science.

“So, how does the first expansion, or the big bang, how does that result in wonderful designs, like the sun and planets? They do not know! Despite the presumption of teaching this theory as irrefutable fact in their colleges, still they will not have the slightest idea of how this world came about from this singular expansion!

“One cannot declare some theory to be fact! … that of which one has no practical experience of … that which is only an illusory idea within the mind!”

Chandra looked about the audience, seemingly making eye contact with virtually everyone, so as to emphasize this crux of the philosophic conundrum.

After pausing a few moments, he declared with raised voice and utter confidence, “But we are knowing! … yes … we are knowing of the primal cause of all the planets and everything in creation!”

Watson’s mind explodes upon this remark, thinking, What audacity! They claim to know things that we do not? How preposterous!
