Dear Arjunji,
I have learnt thru various teacher in Hinduism that the evolution of life itself as related to hinduism is
very much highlighted in Avatars of Vishnu. Please rethink these avatars and you will see that it closely
resembles that of Charles Darwin theory. The following are the avatars so far:-
1. The Fish
2. The Turtle
3. The Boar
4. The Half human/lion
5. The Civilised Man - Rama
6. The Divine Man - Krishna.
All these avatars reflect the evolution of life as follows:-
1. The fish - water living organism
2. The Turtle - water and land based organisms
3. The Boar - Land based living organisms
4. Half Human/Lion - the evolution to human
5. Rama - the evolution of intelligent human
6. Krishna - The Divine spritual human.
Sometimes it makes me wonder if Charles Darwin got his theories from Hinduism! Well, Arjunji thats
about all that I know about. You need to refer more on this.
I hope i have helped for starters.
Namaste,
