The Big Bang joke
Many years ago I was distributing books from a book table at a rest stop in California, and one man came and saw that we are a spiritual organization. He started speaking about everything actually beginning with the Big Bang.
I said, "Earlier this morning there was a pile of rubber and steel on the parking lot here and someone put a stick of dynamite under the pile, blew it up, and now we see that the Mercedes Benz over there has manifested from the explosion."
The man said, "Yeah right, funny."
"Well, that's what your saying about this much more complex creation, with galaxies, suns, moons, humans, animals, aquatics, seasons, etc.
Do you really think all this can come from a destructive explosion?"
"Interesting point. I'm going in the store, and maybe I'll get one of your books when I come out."
Ten minutes later he came out and bought a Bhagavad-gita.
