Abstract

The Samkhya School of philosophy has what I believe to be an agnostic note on the nature of creation and on the existence of god, although not atheistic in the sense that there is still a cause for evolution. In this essay I will try to show how the Samkhya idea of creation is appealing but it does have some problems associated with it. In my opinion it does adequately show a way in which things could have been created without the need for a creationist god.
