Srila Prabhupada was very strong on this particular subject that it is simply a waste of time for people to spend billions and trillions of dollars annually doing research on how and why the world is? what it is?... Because everything is already there; the creator has already explained it perfectly. So, simply, instead of spending billions of dollars of the tax payers money in scientific research about space, research about the planet, about the ocean, about the land, all you have to do is go to any airport, for $5 or less, you can buy Srimad Bhagavatam and every answer is there, authoritatively. The theories in Srimad Bhagavatam do not change year by year. Amongst the very mundane philosophers of this world or scientist one works so hard to present a theory and others work so hard to defeat their theories and there are always different conceptions. …….So it is a world of cheaters and the cheated, so much speculation. I remember Srila Prabhupada, they asked him a question about the stars and the planets and the moon and Prabhupada in a very simple way, of course Srimad Bhagavatam explains of the various planetary systems and what is happening on all these planets and how you can attain these planets through various types of pious activities or mystic yoga, Prabhupada had all the knowledge but he explained it all very simple, they asked him about all the planets and the sky and the stars, he said it is as if Krsna just painted it on the stars, the moon; Krsna just painted it on the sky. That is all. This is a very profound scientific realisation that every thing is done ultimately by a Person, all the details the Vedic literature fill in but the essence is that everything is created by a Person; it is His transcendental pastime creating all these systems and destroying the material existence and maintaining it for some time.
