This comparative study aims at juxtaposition of modern Western naturalistic evolutionism and the mostly similar attitude in classic Indian philosophy shape Sankhya’s cosmology context their corresponding critiques by contemporary creationists Advaita-Vedanta.

متن کاملContra $beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $beta^{*}$-continuous functions
The notion of contra continuous functions was introduced and investigated by Dontchev. In this paper, we apply the notion of $beta^{*}$-closed sets in topological space to present and study a new class of functions called contra $beta^{*}$-continuous and almost contra $beta^{*}$-continuous functions as a new generalization of contra continuity.
