What its wanteth to do? Where doth it stand now? Einstein recorded his impressions of this world, in his "The world as I see it". What this impressions wee I am not aware, though I see this world myself, and find it very distracting. The overall picture is one of confusion mingled with confusion. Confusion heaped upon confusion. Confusion intermingled with anarchy. Anarchy intermingled with falsity. I thought myself as one dead set against the noxious philosophy of Darwinian evolution. but when I see the state of mankind today, then thanks to the inebriating influence of Baconian rationalistic lunaticism the philosophy oa man's spish origin appears to find some countenance in the behaviour of this presnt day mankind. Howsoever the philosophy of man's base ape-like origin, might have been based on error and doubt as regards the mankind in general, yet as far as this Baconian mankind of this Baconian age is concerned, Darwin's eye appears to have observed the spectacle sufficiently correctly. Darwin's mind might have imagined with perceptible disgust, the modern human race as a species of intellectualized anthropoids tending toward the transition from the stage of anthropomorphic humanity to supremely Godhead. But cursed be the science-guided process of his Baconian progress, that has within a span of but three centuries approached its end in the complete annihilation of life, breaking he Darwinian dream into pieces. It is painful to observe that this mankind, not even in its ancient stages of dark superstition, displayed such utter lack of sense and sensibility as today in this age of knowledge, science, enlightenment, and advancement. It is well-known that no protection is there at present either against the atomic bomb or the atomic radiation. And it also is well-known that their s no sing of protection in sight, yet instead of banning the use of atomic-energy and atomic bombs, all the endeavour is being directed toward building the atomic reactors and atomic bombs. And worse still is the optimism about the discovery someday of some remedy. Again it is well-known that atomic war in the presence of stock-piles and reactors could not forever be avoided. Known also is the fact that atomic war meant total annihilation of life on earth, and that there was no possibility for any one to survive and enjoy the honours of a victory. And indeed those who survived in an atomic war, they would envy the death of those who were fortunate enough to meet death. Yet countries are zealously engaged n in building more and more atomic weapons, and improvising on the existing specimens. Again neither the folly of those countries which are themselves engaged in building atomic reactors and atomic bombs, and yet deny this right to others in the name of proliferation is comprehensible, nor indeed comprehensible is the folly of those countries which are not atomic powers but are endeavoring to approach that status. What if a few more atomic bombs are added by them to the existing number of eight thousand. The number existing is quite enough to destroy everyone on earth. The world really has gone crazy. Who could tell that old American who stamped the earth and asserted that America could not be destroyed, that American could be destroyed before he raised his foot to stamp the earth second time. But to heaven or to hell, when I want to tell you is that atomic bomb is not a weapon or war or defence. it according to the scientist is a means of total annihilation of life on earth, while according to Qruan it is the atomic hell It is the divine vengeance, it is the wrath of Allah enkindled. The Quran no doubt, has enjoined on the Muslims to keep in readiness weapons to awe the enemies, but it has first to be decided, whether the atomic bomb can be included in the category of weapons. This a very important question, and very far-reaching in consequence. This is the basic question of policy. It is just like to think before you leap into the well of the hell, the Baconian hell, the atomic hell, the nuclear hell.

We were on the beach at the end of our first practice landing when the captain of the landing craft announced over the loud speaker that the war was over. We were all very happy the war was over, we knew we probably would not survive the initial invasion landing. As horrible as the bomb was it saved many thousands of American and Japanese lives by ending the war. Post war estimates indicated that about one million lives were saved, one of which was mine. I sincerely hope that the atomic bomb will never again be used. The day that the war with Japan ended I was taking part with practice landings in preparation for the actual landing on Japan.
