A more sympathetic view may be proposed. The issue whether matter has evolved from consciousness (the spiritual view) or consciousness has evolved from matter (the materialistic view) has not yet been finally settled. This could be the famous ‘chicken and egg’ problem. Most intellectuals of all ages and countries might have preferred not to put all their eggs in one basket (atheistic material science). It is better to remain more open-minded on this issue. (Biswas, 1969 : 19-31 and 99-118)
