Acharya Prashant explains that conservative societies often resist the teaching of evolution because it contradicts the belief that human beings were created by a divine entity. If evolution is accepted, it suggests that life developed from simple organisms through natural processes, implying that Nature is sufficient and a creator God is not necessary for existence. This realization is perceived as a threat to dualistic beliefs and creationism. Although evolution is supported by extensive scientific evidence and fossil records, many societies choose to suppress this knowledge to protect traditional narratives that have been passed down through generations.
