Rajinder ... I do understand your explanation of 'worldly knowledge' and 'inward knowledge'.

My reference to the fossil record was not only referring to the fact that it provides conclusive evidence for the development of life on earth, that it provides evidence for the evolution of all matter throughout the Universe, in fact I suspect that Darwins theories of natural selection will eventually be incorporated, and play the greater part for explaining the evolution of the Cosmos.
My prime reason for referring to the fossil record is that its explanation of Natural Selection is that it conclusively demonstrates that life, the universe and everything is the result of random changes.
A random system does not allow or require an intelligent design or guiding hand to determine outcomes. At this moment, lacking any other evidence we could conclude that Homo Sapiens is the most intelligent life form in the Cosmos. But for all that we have never played even the minutest part in determining the evolution of the Cosmos, except on this small blue sphere.
For myself, I see no evidence for anything other than Natural Selection, where ever I look. My 'inward knowledge' is turned towards the understanding of Natural Selection. For me, my 'soul revelation' is in the understanding of this process.
The fact that the most improbable events become the most probable given time and circumstance is truly a 'soul revelation' when you comprehend it.
As you can see truth in a grain of sand, or a forest inside an acorn .. so can I .. for me the acorn is an acorn because every mutation prior to this point was not as successful as this mutation, and this mutation will hold sway until another random mutation occurs that more suits the circumstances it finds itself in. You and IC and Michael all feel that random events could not have possibly bought about all you see.. but in this you are wrong .. this is the true soul revelation ... we are on our own .. and we are doing it ourselves.
What do you see when you look at the acorn, or any seed ??
kind regards ... awaiting your answer .. greg
