[Reader-list] PSEUDO SECULARISTS NOW OPPOSING AYODHYA JUDGEMENT

[Bipin Trivedi]

Dear Javed,

Criticisms are always welcome, but there should be some logic behind it.
Criticism without any evidence just for their bias belief cannot be
acceptable. Those opposing does not came forward with any kind of logical
evidence. There was lot of arguments, proof produced by the other party in
the court but could not able to convince the panel of judges and so their
evidence was weak and could not withstand.

No one can prove historical events since you will not find any witness. But,
still history exists, historical events exist and effects present also.
People living today has never seen historical personalities/events/monuments
but feel/heard it from their ancestors and this chain of ancestors itself
becomes one kind of proof and here the faith comes into existence.

Not a single witness today for existence of Ram/Krishna/Paygamber/Ishu. Many
believe that they are myth then also millions of people have faith in them
and with their inspiration one want to live their life, nothing wrong in it.

Thanks
Bipin Trivedi

Dear Bipin
I cannot prove anything about history that old. No body can. Show me
one single historian who can be 100% sure about anything that happened
before his/her lifetime. Yes, but we can probably be sure about the
history that is happening in our lives. Such as the demolition of the
Babari mosque - yes I can prove who did that on which date.

By the way, in one sentense you are saying ASI uses scientific and
universally approved formula - then another sentence you say their
method uses "faith of the millions of people". Sorry that's not a
scientific method. All scientific discoveries have to be vetted by
other scientists before they can become theories. So if some
scientists are systematically criticizing the theories of ASI, why are
you scared of criticism, and why do you have to label them commies and
pseudos etc.?
