How Mother Earth is protected by Vishnu avatar

Hari Om Tat Sat

Vishnu avater: the protector of all

Sree Vishnu is one of the three eternal Gods. According to Vishnupuran, Narayan Vishnu maintains the balance in nature and protects all living been from any harm. And for the sake of survival of life, he reached our planet as avatar, for nine times and promised to appear one more time on the judgment day, as Kalki avatar and help us with his direction and blessing. 

So as avatar Lord Vishnu lived among us, felt like us, shared our pain and pleasure, protected us from devastation, also educated us about the ethics of religion, directed us, how to choose our path wisely and enlighten us about the power of soulful prayer, which are documented in our holy book "Gita", that is his direction given by his Krishna avater regarding the code of conduct of human life.

Now, if you put all the Vishnu avatars in order to their appearance, you can find a core connection with the natural selection of evolution. This is esteemed scientific. While written, more than thousands of years ago by the sages.

How, the ten Vishnu avatars are connected with Mother Earth since life fabricated: (Name of the Vishnu avaters in order of their appearance)

Matsya avatar: According to modern studies, when earth was taking form, allowed only water to exist on the surface. On crucial time, Vishnu appeared in the form of Matshya (Fish). Chordate, only survives under water.

Kurma avatar: Due to platonic movement some land starts appearing. In this scenario, Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Kurma (tortoise). Tortoise is an amphibian, which can survive in both land and water.

Varaha avatar: The geological change was continuously occurring in our planet. Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Varaha (Boar). This is mammal and a land animal, likes to stay at mud. 

First to third Vishnu Avaters

Nrisingha avatar: Now the earth is covered with the dense forest. Lord Vishnu appeared in the form of Nrisingha (Half man and half animal). Partially, bipedal primates, which learnt how to survive, in this planet. Nrisinha carried the necessity of being human.

Vamana avatar: Human survived and evoluted with their innovation of using hands, and stand up on feet. In this scenario Lord Vishnu comes in the form of Vamana (Physically less developed, mentally wise).

Parshuram avatar: Now human can fulfill all their basic necessities, bit not yet civilized. Lord Vishnu reached us via Parshuram (Jungle People) to lead us towards civilization.

Fourth, fifth & sixth Vishnu Avaters

Ram avatar: Now human is perfectly civilized and some basic rules and regulation is required for living. Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Ram (Lord of Principle) teaches us the principle for living and going up with civilization.

Krishna avatar: Greed appears in human with the growth of civilization that leads to a great harm. Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Krishna (Lord of Politics) leads us to the way of diplomacy, to fulfill our intention in the rightmost way.

Buddha avatar: Now human tries to reach beyond his optimization that needed a mental peace and purity. Lord Vishnu in the form of Lord Buddha (Lord of Peace) showed us the way of nirvana, in order to restore mental peace.

Seventh, eighth & ninth Vishnu Avaters

Kalki avatar: According to foretell, when the earth will be full of pollution and misery that will lead to end of this civilization. Lord Vishnu will approach as Kalki avatar, be atop a white horse with a drawn blazing sword. He is the harbinger of the end time in Hindu eschatology, after which he will usher in Satya Yuga.

Now the question is, how the creators of Puranas can show us the right way of evolution via Vishnu avatars, thousands of years back, while people was beyond science?
