We begin by summarizing the content of this article for those who are rushed for time. Dr. Silva has proposed a debate where he claims that he can show us God Natha\u201d when we challenged him to satisfy the conditions of the Chulla-Hatthi-Padopama sutta by even showing some pointer readings that demonstrate the existence of such a God.
\nSummary<\/strong>
\n1. Dr. Silva has already converted the debate to a baka-vivaadaya by having already said that he cannot show God Natha,\u00a0 even as a set of pointer readings visible to every one. Now he says he will show God Natha\u201d,\u00a0 if subsidiary conditions are satisfied.
\n2. The CHP-sutta does not specify subsidiary conditions like,\u00a0 we show the Elephant only if you show the Gravitational field\u201d. The Hasthi\u201d can be seen by anyone, even if they know nothing about the gravitational field. So why is Dr. Silva now backing out?
\n3. He has to clear his confusion\u00a0 about what he needs, viz., gravitational force, gravitational field, and what he calls the “abstract” versions of these, by going to see Dr. Valentine Joseph, Dr. Baggot\u00a0 or some such non-sinhala Buddhist teacher, since\u00a0 he claims that he\u00a0 only learns from such people
\n4. As there are enough\u00a0 demonstrations of\u00a0 all properties\u00a0 (force, potential etc.) of\u00a0 the gravitational field, we can refer him to the relevant material when he specifies what he wants.
\nIn fact, Dr. Silva claims to be a\u00a0 physicist,\u00a0 and can\u00a0 demonstrate it to satisfy himself (ehipassiko<\/em>\u201d), after clarifying his understanding by talking with Dr. Joseph, Dr. Baggot\u00a0 or his equivalent.
\n5. Dr. Silva should come with his Gura Jim Baggot\u201d, or who ever.
\n6. Given his request to\u00a0 not discuss anything anymore (\u0db8\u0dda \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba \u2026\u0dad\u0dd0\u0db4\u0dd1\u0dbd\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u00a0 \u0d9a\u0dbb\u0d9c\u0dd9\u0db1 \u0dba\u0dd1\u0db8\u0dda \u0d85\u0dc0\u0dc1\u0dca\u0dba \u0dad\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0d9a\u0dca \u0db1\u0dd0\u0dad) electronically, one\u00a0 suspects\u00a0 that this baka-vaadaya\u201d is a ruse to\u00a0 to stop us exposing his errors in physics.<\/p>\n

Main text.<\/strong>
\nDr. Nalin de Silva has circulated the following claims about a public debate and tried to lay down the terms according to his own wishes, but\u00a0 no consensus has been reached about\u00a0 the terms of the debate. \u0db6\u0ddd\u0db0\u0dd2 \u0db0\u0db1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dbd \u0db8\u0dc4\u0dad\u0dcf \u0dc4\u0dcf \u0db8\u0dcf \u0d85\u0dad\u0dbb \u0dbd\u0d82\u0d9a\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0dda \u0daf\u0dd3 \u0db4\u0dd0\u0dc0\u0dd0\u0dad\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dd9\u0db1 \u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba \u0dc3\u0db8\u0dca\u0db6\u0db1\u0dca\u0db0\u0dba\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca \u0daf\u0dd0\u0db1\u0da7 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u200d\u0dba\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dad\u0dca \u0dad\u0dd0\u0db4\u0dd1\u0dbd\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc4\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0db8\u0dcf\u0dbb\u0dd4 \u0dc0\u0dd3 \u0d87\u0dad\u0dd2 \u0d85\u0daf\u0dc4\u0dc3\u0dca \u0db8\u0dd9\u0dc3\u0dda \u0dbd\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dcf \u0dad\u0db6\u0db8\u0dd2. \u0d85\u0daf\u0dcf\u0dc5 \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dbd\u0dd4 \u0db4\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0d9a\u0dcf\u0dc1 \u0db4\u0dc4\u0dad \u0db4\u0dc5\u0dc0\u0dd9\u0dba\u0dd2 (\u0db1\u0dbd\u0dd2\u0db1\u0dca \u0daf \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0dbd\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dcf, 2015 \u0da2\u0dd6\u0db1\u0dd2 22). He has NOT included all the relevant statements ( \u0d85\u0daf\u0dcf\u0dc5 \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dbd\u0dd4 \u0db4\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0d9a\u0dcf\u0dc1 ) as claimed. He challenged Bodhi Dhanapala\u201d for a debate, as he has in the past indiscriminately challenged\u00a0 “sinhala-buddhist scientists” in almost every article. So Dr. Silva is a pathological\u00a0 argument seeker\u00a0 who challenges people who cross his path.<\/p>\n

Even I, not a scientists but a mere science teacher, can see the elementary\u00a0 errors in Dr. Silva’s physics statements. He is upset that I have questioned his “baka-paandithya” (pretense to knowledge)\u00a0 position. But the painful reality is, as I will show below,\u00a0 Dr. Silva’s\u00a0 challenge is not genuine, and the conditions he says he will fulfil have ALREADY BEEN NEGATED BY HIM, EVEN BEFORE THE proposed DEBATE.<\/p>\n

Seeing that Dr. Silva is getting more and more into deep water, Dr. Silva’s acolytes\u00a0 are telling him that this discussion is not worth five cents, while Dr. Silva thinks it is worth thousands of dollars. His political supporters, NOT understanding that this is not a question of politics but a question of cleaning up science-fraud extremely harmful to Sri Lanka, have taken up cudgels on his behalf. This is a common phenomenon, as when Dr. Lysenko’s political supporters strongly sided with the fraudulent Soviet scientists who destroyed soviet agriculture, forcing the Soviet Union to eat humble pie and import wheat from the USA.<\/p>\n

The Sri Lankan scientists are afraid to speak out because of the misguided\u00a0 derision and “kithul polu” wielded by these people who have not even a basic education in science. But as a school teacher living outside the ambit of these Kithul Polu\u201d, and as some one who grew up as a village boy,\u00a0 I am appalled at what is happening here. While a certain skepticism about big business controlling science is justified in the West, in Sri Lanka we have no such situation. However, the upper classes in Sri Lanka who follow the California mindset blindly apply it to Sri Lanka. They\u00a0 are\u00a0 bed fellows of\u00a0 Nalin de Silva and friends who approach the issue via\u00a0 a\u00a0 mis-guided\u00a0 nationalism.\u00a0 These people have been labeled the lunatic fringe\u201d by Dr. Ranil Senanayake, an eco-agriculturist who seeks a sustainable form of agriculture by harnessing modern science, but himself somewhat tainted by the organic\u201d lobby.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka needs to follow the lead of the rising stars of the East. The leaders of Japan, China, India, Singapore etc., have pushed forward scientific education and are rapidly coming neck to neck with the West. China and Japan have forged ahead of the West in many areas. But if Nalin de Silva and his band of obscurantists have their way, a significant number of people (like journalists and politicians who did\u00a0 not make the school-science stream) will take us back to the era where, as Dr. Silva says, \u0d85\u0db4\u0dd2 \u0db4\u0dda\u0db1 \u0d85\u0dc3\u0db8\u0dd4, \u0d9a\u0dda\u0db1\u0dca\u0daf\u0dbb \u0db6\u0dbd\u0db8\u0dd4, \u2026.etc, on 16-June 2015 \u0d85\u0db4\u0da7 \u0dc0\u0dd9\u0da0\u0dca\u0da0 \u0daf\u0dda – 2) and embrace\u00a0 the Brahmajaala that the Buddha condemned. Dr. Nalin de Silva also says \u0db4\u0d82\u0da0\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u0daf\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dd2\u0dba \u0d9c\u0ddd\u0da0\u0dbb \u0db1\u0ddc\u0dc0\u0db1 \u0da2\u0dd3\u0dc0\u0dd3\u0db1\u0dca \u0dc4\u0dcf \u0dc0\u0dc3\u0dca\u0dad\u0dd4 \u0d9c\u0dd0\u0db1 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc1\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0dc3 \u0d9a\u0dbb\u0db8\u0dd4” forgetting that most things considered by science, like electric currents, magnetic fields, gravitational fields, microbes, atoms etc., are NOT seen by the five senses\u201d (\u0db4\u0d82\u0da0\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u0daf\u0dca\u200d\u0dbb\u0dd2\u0dba) . They are made visible as pointer readings of detector instruments, or magnified as images using suitable instruments. This is consistent with the\u00a0\u00a0 Chulla-Hatthi-Padopama sutta (CHP-sutta), while Dr. Silva is not.<\/p>\n

I asked Dr. Silva\u00a0 to follow the\u00a0 Buddha’s method (as stated in the CHP-sutta) and demonstrate the existence of God Natha by making him manifest, at least as pointer readings, although that is hardly adequate. Then he said<\/p>\n

However, in his bid to ignite a baka-vivaada\u201d\u00a0 he says \u0db8\u0dcf \u0db1\u0dcf\u0dae \u0daf\u0dd9\u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dba\u0db1\u0dca \u0db4\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u0dc0\u0db1\u0dca\u0db1\u0dda \u0db0\u0db1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dbd \u0db8\u0dc4\u0dad\u0dcf \u0dc4\u0ddd \u0dc0\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dad\u0dca \u0d9a\u0dc0\u0dbb\u0d9a\u0dd4 \u0dc4\u0ddd \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dd4\u0d9a\u0dca\u0dad \u0d9c\u0dd4\u0dbb\u0dd4\u0dad\u0dca\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0d9a\u0dbb\u0dca\u0dc2\u0dab \u0db6\u0dbd\u0dba (\u0d9a\u0dca\u0dc2\u0dd9\u0dd9\u0dad\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dba) \u0db8\u0da7 \u0db4\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca\u0dc0\u0db1\u0dca\u0db1\u0dda \u0db1\u0db8\u0dca \u0db4\u0db8\u0dab\u0d9a\u0dca \u0db6\u0dc0 \u0db8\u0dcf \u0d9a\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dcf \u0d87\u0dad. \u0db8\u0db8 \u0db4\u0ddc\u0dbb\u0ddc\u0db1\u0dca\u0daf\u0dd4 \u0d9a\u0da9 \u0db1\u0ddc \u0d9a\u0dbb\u0db8\u0dd2. That is, I have said that I will show show God Natha if Mr. Dhanapala or anyone else can show me the abstract gravitational force (field)\u201d.<\/p>\n

We have not been able to find this statement that he claims he said.\u00a0<\/em> Secondly, why does he confuse the gravitational force with the gravitational field? Why does he want the abstract\u201d gravitational field, when we have always said that scientists work with pointer readings of instruments. Further more, he has without prior agreement or clarification added the word ABSTRACT\u201d in front of the word gravitational force. So Dr. Silva does not know if he wants the force of gravity, the gravitational field, or what he calls the abstract\u201d force of gravity, or the abstract\u201d gravitational field, or a four-fold-logic mixture of all these!!!!<\/p>\n

The ex-professor\u00a0 has craftily\u00a0 created enough wriggle room for himself. Also, he has left it very vague that\u00a0 I will show God Natha\u201d, as if God Natha is a show-piece that he has under his control.<\/p>\n

Comparing the case with the Hasthi\u201d of the CHP-Sutta,\u00a0\u00a0 it is not enough to see the animal’s dropping and other\u00a0 secondary signs, and primary evidence need to exist\u00a0 Dr. Silva has to explicitly specify in what manner he is going to show God Natha\u201d. For instance, can he take the light coming from, or reflected from\u00a0 God Natha into a camera or spectroscope and record him? If not, please specify.<\/p>\n

The CHP-sutta does not specify subsidiary conditions like,\u00a0 we show the Elephant only if you show the Gravitational field\u201d. The Hasthi can be seen by anyone, even if they know nothing about the gravitational field. So why is Dr. Silva now backing out of the Buddhist and scientific approach?<\/p>\n

In fact, everything that\u00a0 Dr. Silva\u00a0 has written here shows that it is, as usual, a total pretence on Dr. Nalin’s\u00a0 part \u2013 a\u00a0 BAKA\u00a0 DHARSHANA\u201d. He is not capable of showing even a hair of the God, and he correctly admitted on 21st June that God Natha cannot be demonstrated, even as pointer readings, let alone via direct evidence as specified in the CHP-sutta.<\/p>\n

So you see\u00a0 that Dr. Silva’s debate is really\u00a0 a BAKA-VIVAADA. We are not prepared to waste our\u00a0 time unless these matters are clarified, and he undertakes to show us, that is any of us, or be it even his friend Carlo Fonseka, incontrovertible, verifiable, repeatedly testable\u00a0 evidence for the existence of God Natha, just as we have for the Hasthi.<\/p>\n

Dr. Nalin de Silva has challenged Dr. Amaratunga and various others, and asked me to come with Prof. Dharmawardana for this baka-vivaadaya, presumably because I used Prof. Dharmawardana’s book A Physicist’s view of matter and mind\u201d to clarify various matters in physics. Dr. Silva has been using Dr. Jim Baggots’ book, and even repeated Bagoot’s erroneous statements in several Vidusara articles. So I suggest that Dr. Silva gets Dr. Baggot to come to this debate\u00a0 on his side.<\/p>\n

Also, Dr. Silva complains that I have written Sivala\u201d for Silva\u201d in my Sinhala articles, and that this is not a spelling mistake but an attempt to insult him\u201d. I point out that Dr. Silva has distorted de Broglie’s name and written it as de Broolie\u201d, and he did this EVEN after it was pointed out. So, was he deliberately insulting Prof. De Broglie, an icon of Western Science\u201d? In my case, I assure Dr. Silva that when I try to write a non-sinhala name like Silva, I end up involuntarily writing sivala\u201d because the latter is a very fine sinhala word, perhaps ironically appropriate. So, I can claim that I have used a sinhalized\u201d version of Silva\u201d, just as Girigoris is used by some people for Gregory\u201d.\u00a0 In any case, Dr. Silva cannot pretend that his sinhala typing is super-correct given that within 10 lines or so he comes up with words like \u0db4\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dcf\u0dc3\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u0db0 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba\u0d9a\u0dca, \u0db4\u0dca\u0dbb\u0db1\u0dc3\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u0db0 \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba\u0d9a\u0da7, \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u0dba\u0dcf \u0dad\u0dca\u0db8\u0d9a \u0d9a\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dcf\u0db8\u0dba, \u0d85\u0dc0\u0dc1\u0dca\u0dba\u0dd2, \u0dc3\u0dcf\u0db8\u0dcf\u0db1\u0dca\u0dba\u0d9a \u0db4\u0d82\u0dad\u0dd2\u0dba\u0dda, \u0d85\u0dc0\u0dc1\u0dca\u0dba\u0db1 \u0db1\u0db8\u0dca, \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dca\u0db1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dad\u0dca, \u0d9a\u0dca\u0dc2\u0dd9\u0dd9\u0dad\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dba” etc. Furthermore, he wants to debate about \u0d9a\u0dd8\u0dc2\u0dd2\u0dbb\u0dc3\u0dcf\u0dba\u0db1\u0dd2\u0d9a \u0dc0\u0d9a\u0dd4\u0d9c\u0da9\u0dd4 \u0dbb\u0ddd\u0d9c\u0dba”, and what ever is that? We have only heard of a \u0d9c\u0dd4\u0db4\u0dca\u0dad \u0dc4\u0dda\u0dad\u0dd4\u0d9a \u0da0\u0dd2\u0dbb\u0dcf\u0db4\u0dad\u0dca \u0dc0\u0d9a\u0dd4\u0d9c\u0da9\u0dd4 \u0dbb\u0ddd\u0d9c\u0dba (chronic kidney disease of unknown aetiology).<\/p>\n

Finally, we note that Dr. Silva says \u0db0\u0db1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dbd \u0db8\u0dc4\u0dad\u0dcf \u0dbd\u0d82\u0d9a\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0dda \u0daf\u0dd3 \u0dc4\u0db8\u0dd4\u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dba \u0dc4\u0dd0\u0d9a\u0dd2 \u0db6\u0dd0\u0dc0\u0dd2\u0db1\u0dca \u0db8\u0dda \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dcf\u0daf\u0dba \u0dad\u0dc0\u0daf\u0dd4\u0dbb\u0da7\u0dad\u0dca \u0dc0\u0dd2\u0daf\u0dca\u0dbb\u0dca\u0db1\u0db4\u0dcf\u0dad\u0dca \u0dad\u0dd0\u0db4\u0dd1\u0dbd\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dca \u0d9a\u0dbb\u0d9c\u0dd9\u0db1 \u0dba\u0dd1\u0db8\u0dda \u0d85\u0dc0\u0dc1\u0dca\u0dba \u0dad\u0dcf\u0dc0\u0d9a\u0dca \u0db1\u0dd0\u0dad.\u201d This vivaadaya\u201d is about

Hence we can only suspect\u00a0 that this baka-vaadaya\u201d is a ruse to get us to stop exposing his errors in physics and much more.<\/p>\n

In conclusion\u00a0 we can state the following:
