Questions for evolutionists and secular folks?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers to basic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people think evolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about the universe. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religion masquerading as science.
1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from dead matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explain this?)
10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occurred if evolution were true?
13. When, where, why, and how did: a) Single-celled plants become multicelled? (Where are the two- and threecelled intermediates?) b) Single-celled animals evolve? c) Fish change to amphibians? d) Amphibians change to reptiles? e) Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!) How did the intermediate forms live?
14. When, where, why, how, and from what did: a) Whales evolve? b) Sea horses evolve? c) Bats evolve? d) Eyes evolve? e) Ears evolve? f) Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
15. Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the others)? a) The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)? b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce? c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs? d) DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts? e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose? f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants? g) The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones? h) The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system? i) The immune system or the need for it?
Proof of GOD to Athiests,pls read the entire thing?

Suppose I ask you tht there is an object for instance lets say an Unidentified flying object which no one in the world has seen,no human being in this world knows about this object and if it is brought in front of you and I ask you who will be the first person to tell the mechanism of this object which no one in the world has seen. After you hear my question you might say the person who would no about this object is the creator, manufacturer or producer or whatever .
Now I have some more questions:
1.How did the universe come into existence? –You will say the “The Big Bang Theory”. When did we find out about it , you will say recently , recently in terms of science is 30yrs,50 or 100yrs. The quran speaks about the Big bang theory 1400 years ago. The bible also speaks about the big bang theory but has many unscientific points in it such as the earth was formed bfore the sun where as science tells us earth Is part of the parent body which is the sun, the light was existed before the source of the light, the bible also says the vegetation was created on the third day and the sun on the fourth day how can the vegetations be created before the sun which is the source of their energy, But the quran does not make any such false claims. For more light on this subject pls aquire a vcd of the debate The quran and the bible in the light of modern science-between Dr.Zakir naik and Dr.William Campbell, Dr.William Campbell is the author of the book The bible and the quran in the light of history and science in which he alleged the quran to be unscientific and plagiarisation, which have all been proved false in an open public debate and none of the wrong things in the bible was proven right. Then Dr.Campbell agreed to not have any answers for them.
2.The moon is reflected light it is not its own light, science found that out around may be 50 yrs or 100yrs ago but the quran speaks about it 1400 yrs ago, who could have wrote it in their.Many ppl say that Aristotle wrote about it way before the quran but this topic is also covered in the debate.
3.We thought the sun was stationary, but recently we found out that it rotates and revolves around not more than 20 yrs ago, but the quran mentions this 1400 yrs ago. Who could have mentioned this in the quran?
4.How was the universe initially , Any person with knowledge would say it was smoke, the quran mentions it was smoke 1400 yrs ago.
5.The quran also says that there is an unseen barrier between salty and sweet water which is forbidden to be tresspassed(meaning the salty water though flows into the sweet they do no mix), science found this out 1400 years later.Who could have mentioned this in the quran?
6.Quran says that iron was flown from the heavens, science tell us that to create one atom of iron we need the energy or around 4 galaxies like ours hence stating Iron is an extra terrestrial metal. Who coud have mentioned this in the quran ?
These are only 5 or 6 of the points which I mentioned above from more than 1000 verses in the quran which speak about science. Established science doesn’t conflict with anything the quran has to say. For more info on what the quran has to say about science science pls purchase the vcd The Quran and Modern science- Conflict or conciliation by Dr.Zakir Naik. It is a 5 disc set of vcd’s and scientifically gives an explanation of the verses in the quran.
Let us talk about the theory of probabilities
If you have two choices out of which one is right , the chances that you will make the right choice at random is one in two.For example if I toss a coin it can either be heads or tails, the chance that I will be rite will be one in two, if I toss it twice the chances that I will be right both the times will be one upon two multiplied by one upon two tht is one upon four i.e 25% chance.If I toss it thrice the chances I will be right all three time will be ½* ½* 1/2 = 1/8 i.e is 12 ½ % . A dice has got six sides , if I roll a dice, the chances that I will get the side I chose will be 1/6 , if I throw it twice the chances that I will be right both the times will be 1/6* 1/6= 1/36, this is called as theory of probability. If I roll the dice twice and then toss a coin and all three being right will be 1/6 * 1/6 * ½ = 1/72. So I ask the athiest tht the chances of only three of the verses from the thousand verses that speak about signs of god through science is 0.05%, if you apply the theory of probability to all the scientifically proven facts established by science mentioned in the Quran coming right at random is zero or negligible and in math anything 1 in 10 raised to 50 it is equal to zero. So I ask the athiest , who could have written all this , the only answer any person would have is that it is the creator ,Science tells us today tht it is not eliminating “GOD”, science is only eliminating models of God.
For any one to understand the total concept of existence of God pls refer to the VCD – The quran and Modern science –Conflict or conciliation by Dr.Zakir Naik
For ppl who assume the Quran to be plagiarised from the Greeks and The Bilbe pls refer to the vcd The Quran and the Bible in the light of Modern Science between Dr.Zakir Naik and Dr.William campbell.-5 disc set
I am not forcing you to believe what I am saying , Watch the above two vcds and decide for yourself.
ppl who are yawning ….if u still dont c the truth u r just ignoring the truth..and are scared that u might have to live ur life in the the relegious code rather than living it however u felt like or doing what ever u felt like.
jaskatia : the quran has not been taken from any old scriptures , it was revealed in arabic and is preserved the same way it was revealed.
Diane M and tom P:
dont just write things without knowing anything , those things are there in the quran , The vcd of the topic The quran and modern science-Conflict or conciliation has everything , even the reference to where in the quran all this is said, if u be kind enuf to spend some time do some research and then type that would be nice, u wouldnt be misleading ppl atleast.
Everyone who is trying to prove me wrong y dont u just see the video and then talk to me , watch the video it has answers to all ur questions , and every word of the things i wrote is true u just misinterprit the quran , once u watch the video u will know for urself that what is right or wrong, Just watch it then decide for urself.
quran does no contradict with established science anywhere, it is u ppl who misunderstand it. U probably get all that from anti-islamic websites where all they try to do is maline islam through false accusations just one example one of the guys said joseph saw eleven planets , he saw eleven stars and all the other points have valid explanation.
Atheist: Does God exist?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
Normally, when I meet an atheist, the first thing I like to do is to congratulate him and say, ” My special congratulations to you”, because most of the people who believe in God are doing blind belief – he is a Christian, because his father is a Christian; he is a Hindu, because his father is a Hindu; the majority of the people in the world are blindly following the religion of their fathers. An atheist, on the other hand, even though he may belong to a religious family, uses his intellect to deny the existence of God; what ever concept or qualities of God he may have learnt in his religion may not seem to be logical to him.
My Muslim brothers may question me, “Zakir, why are you congratulating an atheist?” The reason that I am congratulating an atheist is because he agrees with the first part of the Shahada i.e. the Islamic Creed, ‘La ilaaha’ – meaning ‘there is no God’. So half my job is already done; now the only part left is ‘il lallah’ i.e. ‘BUT ALLAH’ which I shall do Insha Allah. With others (who are not atheists) I have to first remove from their minds the wrong concept of God they may have and then put the correct concept of one true God.
Logical Concept of God
My first question to the atheist will be: “What is the definition of God?” For a person to say there is no God, he should know what is the meaning of God. If I hold a book and say that ‘this is a pen’, for the opposite person to say, ‘it is not a pen’, he should know what is the definition of a pen, even if he does not know nor is able to recognise or identify the object I am holding in my hand. For him to say this is not a pen, he should at least know what a pen means. Similarly for an atheist to say ‘there is no God’, he should at least know the concept of God. His concept of God would be derived from the surroundings in which he lives. The god that a large number of people worship has got human qualities – therefore he does not believe in such a god. Similarly a Muslim too does not and should not believe in such false gods.
If a non-Muslim believes that Islam is a merciless religion with something to do with terrorism; a religion which does not give rights to women; a religion which contradicts science; in his limited sense that non-Muslim is correct to reject such Islam. The problem is he has a wrong picture of Islam. Even I reject such a false picture of Islam, but at the same time, it becomes my duty as a Muslim to present the correct picture of Islam to that non-Muslim i.e. Islam is a merciful religion, it gives equal rights to the women, it is not incompatible with logic, reason and science; if I present the correct facts about Islam, that non-Muslim may Inshallah accept Islam.
Similarly the atheist rejects the false gods and the duty of every Muslim is to present the correct concept of God which he shall Insha Allah not refuse.
The methods of proving the existence of God with usage of the material provided in the ‘Concept of God in Islam’ to an atheist may satisfy some but not all.
Many atheists demand a scientific proof for the existence of God. I agree that today is the age of science and technology. Let us use scientific knowledge to kill two birds with one stone, i.e. to prove the existence of God and simultaneously prove that the Qur’an is a revelation of God.
If a new object or a machine, which no one in the world has ever seen or heard of before, is shown to an atheist or any person and then a question is asked, ” Who is the first person who will be able to provide details of the mechanism of this unknown object? After little bit of thinking, he will reply, ‘the creator of that object.’ Some may say ‘the producer’ while others may say ‘the manufacturer.’ What ever answer the person gives, keep it in your mind, the answer will always be either the creator, the producer, the manufacturer or some what of the same meaning, i.e. the person who has made it or created it. Don’t grapple with words, whatever answer he gives, the meaning will be same, therefore accept it.
Christians: Why just ONE god?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
(I’ve been reading youtube Nick Gisburne’s latest book “The Atheists Are Revolting” and he made a valid point I want to bring up.)
Christians:
Your argument is that the world is too vast and complex that it must have been created. But surely, then, one god isn’t enough, right? Perhaps there are 2 gods; 50 gods; a thousand gods.
Your analogy is comparing the universe to a watch and God to the watch maker.
But watches have more than one creator: One for the glass for the face (heats sand and then moulds it); one for the copper and zinc ores digged up (and then melting them down and mixing them to make brass); one for the batteries if it’s a modern battery (using leather from a cow and making the appropriate technology for batteries); one for the tools used for making the watch (e.g., tweezers, magnifying glass)… and so on.
A watch has several watch makers.
So surely the universe, the Earth, the animals, etc. need a huge team of designers and manufacturers to build them, right?
But WHY have one God and make him omnipotent?
Isn’t the universe TOO COMPLEX to have a single creator behind it all?
Christians want atheists to disprove their one god. Now I want you to disprove a second one added (or several gods).
I can prove the existence of God to an Athiest?

I am a muslim……”A little knowledge of science makes man an atheist, but an in-depth study of science makes him a believer in God.” Francis Bacon.

Scientific Facts Mentioned in the Qur’an
Theory of Probability
In mathematics there is a theory known as ‘Theory of Probability’. If you have two options, out of which one is right, and one is wrong, the chances that you will chose the right one is half, i.e. one out of the two will be correct. You have 50% chances of being correct. Similarly if you toss a coin the chances that your guess will be correct is 50% (1 out of 2) i.e. 1/2. If you toss a coin the second time, the chances that you will be correct in the second toss is again 50% i.e. half. But the chances that you will be correct in both the tosses is half multiplied by h
Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection

The famous philosopher Paley puts forward another argument, which is The design argument. I’m sure that all who are reading this have studied (to some degree) a little biological science. Perhaps during that study you saw design in living organisms of that which you may have found remarkable and complex and which you may have thought could not come by chance from something random like the big bang.
Not even the most intelligent people of our time can make or build anything like a human being. Even if they were to write a book about how we are configured, how our body works and everything about a single human being and not mention variation, the book would easily fill the size of an average-size living room or more! There are also things in the human body so remarkable that it is even hard to believe, i.e. Fact: DNA in one human can stretch up to a thousand times the distance between the earth and the sun.
Paley suggests that if we found a watch in the middle of a field we would not think it had come into existence from no-where! We would suggest that someone designed it because of how its several parts are put together for a purpose (like our heart is placed for a purpose) and is adjusted precisely to produce the right motions. We find in our eyes a sign of clever adjustment and how the different parts are shaped and placed, to create the right action which is such that it works better than any camera ever built. For every creation there is a designer/creator and we see within ourselves design so there must be someone or something that has designed us. This designer is no other than God. In nature we see instances of design so there must be a designer of nature. Also we see design in how the universe is so orderly and not just randomly arranged, and is so complicated that it cannot come by accident. This shows that there needed to be a creator of all this – a designer. This designer must be God.
Mohammad said
Allah is time
so who designed time
dont answer me just say I must go to mosq hurry
Muslims have a seperate covenant through the first son of Abraham ?
Posted by admin | Filed under Religion & Spirituality
Moses replied : “And the Lord said onto me, they have well spoken that which they have spoken, I will raise them up a Prophet from among their Brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” (Deuteronomy 18:17-18)
According to the Hebrew Dictionary of the Bible, “Brethren” is the : “Personification of a group of tribes who
were regarded as near kinsmen of the Israelites.”
The Bible refers to the Israelites as the Brethren of the Ismaelites (e.g. Gen. 16:12 & Gen. 25:18).
———–
Abraham was chosen to be a Great Prophet of the Creator of the Universe.
Abraham had two sons who were both to be blessed with a Holy Covenant at separate times.
The Holy Covenant are promises from The Lord of Abraham in return for taking on the responsibility to “Make Allah/God known to the World” and establishing the “laws of God” on the Earth.
Ishmael – first son – ISLAM
Issac – second son – JUDAISM & Christianity
JUDAISM is the covenant through Isaac.
ISLAM is the covenant through Ishmael.
1—–After Abraham had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Abram’s wife Sarai took Hagar the Egyptian, her maid, and gave her to her husband Abram as HIS WIFE. — GENESIS 16:3
2——So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of HIS SON, whom Hagar bore, ISHMAEL. – GENESIS 16:15
In The Interpreters Bible, we read the following commentary on Deutronomy 21:15-17 :
“However, the law of the first born had ancient sanction, and so long as it was accepted justice demanded that mere favoritism not be allowed to deprive the eldest son of his rights.” (Vol 2 p. 461 Emphasis added)
The fallacy of Ishmael’s inferior status owing to his mother’s “inferior” social status is not only contrary to the Judaic Law (e.g. Deut. 21:15-17) , it is contrary to moral , humanitarian and universal nature of God’s revelation cherished by any believer in Him.
….
Islam calls Jesus “Al-Masih” – he was the Messiah for the Jews.
Messiah means “Anointed Prophet” sent as a redeemer of sin and uniter of the tribes.
If the Jews were to accept their final Prophet (and final chance)then they would be forgiven for slaying all the Prophets and re-writing the holy books.
If they rejected Jesus then a “lanat” would be put on them forever.
Those who denied Jesus as the Jewish Messiah will be sent a False Messiah near the last days as a punishment after the Lord gathers them all into one small area.
Muslims, unlike the Jews, are not dependant on a Jewish redeemer for success.
The coveneant through Islam is independant of the history of Jewish rebellion and disobediance.
Atheists, you frequently come in here challenging Christians, well here is a challenge for you?

I have noticed all you Athiests can do is mock me, I guess that’s cause you know you have no answers. Go Figure….
So many of you are challenging me to go to the science section, I want the atheists to defend your beliefs and this is where you all hang out…
blakdrag, Is lying needed? first time I have asked this question, my questions are open on my profile go check and stop lying.
zBillyz, why do YOU people only question Christianity? Is it cause it threatens YOUR beliefs? why are you not harassing the Muslims and Buddhists? Why are all your mocking questions toward Christians?
