Modern science is proud of its ability to describe natural phenomena in scientific terms. Srila Prabhupada mentions this, together with the fact that science in general has not improved world society. In 1973 he used the stark example of a man imitating a dog. This is what he said: “Just see how they are spoiling hard-earned public money. Because there is no good leader, all these rascals are benefiting, taking their money, and enjoying, and giving bluff information to the public. This should be stopped. Immediately this should be stopped. What is their contribution? The same thing: a dog is already barking, and because they’re imitating barking, they’re being awarded Nobel Prize, `Oh, how you can bark nicely!’ This is going on.”
