All About Evolution and Intelligent Design

One of the most widely debated and controversial topics of our time, Evolution is a biological term referring to the period of time in which Earth has evolved from initial creation into the lush populated planet we know today.

The theory of evolution states that overtime, as new species began to evolve, the more dominant species were in greatest control of the Earth’s population. The more dominant a species, the more likely it would be able to reproduce and continue up the evolutionary ladder. Furthermore, characteristics from those dominant species would be the ones that would carry on to future generations. Otherwise known as natural selection or speciation, this gradual evolution accounts for the immensely diverse biological world we all live in today.

In theory, evolution is believed to have taken billions and billions of years, which has frequently conflicted with the religious beliefs of many. The idea of evolution was first recorded on paper by Charles Darwin in his 1859 book The Origin of Species. Darwin’s book offered the world of science its first rational and well-argued theory for a manner by which evolutionary global change had occurred and would continue to occur over time.

Vivo-Forto (Life-Force) is constituted with a committed group of like minded thinkers, scholars, neurologists, psychiatrists, linguists, anthropologists, sociologists et al. Its aim is to reach out to the whole family of humanity with a message of unity on the basis of a scientific understanding of the brain and God.

The Philosophy
We believe that every human being is a unique creation of the life force and that every one has the potentiality to explore and find The Truth in life without the help of any so called guru or religious preceptor.


The Genesis
The inspiration to set in motion these revolutionary findings emerged from George Fox’s teachings and the writings of Neuro-theologists, sociologists, psychiatrist et. al. The founder, through his personal observations, found that all experiences - real or unreal - are the product of the brain. The real corroborates with the outside world and the unreal is a fiction of the mind. He thus refuses to tow the line of a metaphysical analysis of the phenomena called: ‘God’. If there is any God, it is in the human brain. God is the creation of Man. Man is the product of evolution. He rejects irrational and illogical explanations and the useless dictums of the scriptures promoted by the so called ‘prophets’, ‘messengers’ and ‘sons of god’. He believes God can be reached directly through prayer and meditation without any intermediaries. Thus Vivo Forto exhorts the whole of humanity to break free from the age old dogmatic teachings of religions and to breathe in the atmosphere of universal understanding where nature is the book and man is the temple of God. There is no Truth higher than Man.

The Organization takes birth
To give concrete shape to his real life experience, an organization was necessary. Thus Vivo Forto was born. It was registered in Philadelphia, USA in 1987. An Indian Chapter was opened in October 2001, close on the heels of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre, New York.

The Aim
1) To establish centers in every town, city and village and to train people in generic meditation and universal prayer.
2) To publish literature on meditation and, to disseminate seminar articles and to distribute the same at a reasonable cost.
3) To collect and disseminate information on scientific findings in respect of the human brain and its response to meditation and prayer.
4) To educate children at the school and college level on the harmful effects of drugs, chemicals and religious superstitions.
5) To promote universal peace and prosperity through mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.
