It may remain useful at present. But that doesn't mean that it is "true" or that it won't be scrapped at some point in the future. My point is that what scientists call "knowledge" is not knowledge at all. It is just a convenient framework for so-called "advancement". But advancement towards what? Is the world a better place for it? Do people not suffer any more? Do living beings not die any more?

One day, they will scap this theory too

On: Evolution Named Scientific Achievement of 2005

Another award was this: Complicated Earth. Comparisons of rocks from Earth and outer space forced scientists to scrap long-held views of how our planet formed. So we will not be surprised if some day, we will see the scientists "scrapping" long-held views on Evolution?

According to Bhagavad-gita

On: Mapping the Mind

This is the statement of the Bhagavad-gita on the relationship between matter and consciousness. Note that "mind" is considered as material, but the "living entities" (i.e. conscious beings) are not:

bhumir apo 'nalo vayuh kham mano buddhir eva ca ahankara itiyam me bhinna prakrtir astadha

apareyam itas tv anyam prakrtim viddhi me param jiva-bhutam maha-baho yayedam dharyate jagat

(Bhagavat-gita 7.4-5)

Earth, water, fire, air, ether, mind, intelligence and false ego--all together these eight constitute My separated material energies. Besides these, O mighty-armed Arjuna, there is another, superior energy of Mine, which comprises the living entities who are exploiting the resources of this material, inferior nature. (Translation from Bhagavad-gita As It Is).
