of course there is a theory containing this, it is an essential need for a non-creationist view. It is directly derived from "If there is no God, then it must have all been on its own". There is no way to prove it, unless you have nothing (in the scientific sense) and you do nothing to it, and...

Simply getting clarification. And stirring a pot to get people talking a bit, let outsiders know the forum isn't dead. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, simply questioning whether these statements or arguments of scriptural interpretation aren't more open ended than given credence in most...

Honestly it was too quiet for too long... just starting a conversation... All in all though, I somewhat agree, I knew there would be a difference and that difference is probably never going to change. If ya'll don't mind my position, I see most of these arguments using verses that could very...

So wouldn't this make the flesh without power, therefore limiting the very idea of God as a limited being? Now to be fair I ascribe to the traditional view of we are all descendants of the breath God breathed into Adam(PBUH). In that I see the same thing in Jesus (PBUH), God said be and it was...

I know it has been asked many times in the "Proving Christianity wrong crowd", but I see that consistently the question isn't really answered. Since there has been a lull, maybe we can cover this. some examples of his praying...

I'm sure this gentleman from almost 10 years ago will get your message and be saved by it. No comment on the content...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations according to wiki, it would be tough to describe Sikhism as one of the largest (usually that phrase is used as top 5 in a list this size IMO) 23M adherents pales in comparison to the 4 groups with 1 Billion +, and the next 4 are over...

The Islamic view of this is actually quite different. What you are describing is Allah's (God's) ability to know future and present. He knew Satan would be wrong, but gave him life anyway. He allowed Satan to choose to do wrong, and then passed judgement. He didn't create him to do such, but he...

The Islamic view is that he has already been judged. Also, unlike us, He witnessed Allah and his work. He had knowledge of Allah's authority, and refused to follow it. His future is sealed.

@2ndpillar , Me personally I have no problem saying Paul was uninformed/misinformed, and that he had an agenda that differed from that of the Prophet (PBUH). But continuing your tirade of False Prophet declaration all over is doubtful to earn you much credibility. There is enough evidence...

unfortunately I disagree with this mindset. It glaringly misses the point of non-biased investigation. If you don't wish to hear the topic, and live on without others opinions, fine. But that doesn't mean that the topic is only able to be analyzed by you or people like you. Prophet Mouhammed...

That is quite fascinating. And even though I agree with the theory it produced, I'm not sure the study if very conclusive. Of course this isn't the actual paper that was written or showing of any of the raw data. Interesting though.

There is enough science that says the opposite of that. Despite much want to prove it, no gene has been shown to swerve ones sexual tendencies. Primal thoughts would seem to push Hetero due to species survival. Again we must be specific, we aren't talking about a choice, but rather a behavioral...

not determined, theorized. we have no knowledge of what goes on in a newborn's head, and everything it sees, hears, touches, or tastes from the point of birth is its teacher. a baby raised in the wild will learn from the earth around it. If animals support it, it will learn from them. It would...

ok, all pleasantries aside, the action is a very serious issue in terms of religious operation. Society will not function correctly if this type of thinking becomes central. It also has major implications in a sense of approving of Allah's omnipotence. To say you aren't the gender Allah made...

Ok Here it goes, please be aware, I am probably going to say something that isn't going to agree with your person. But try to hear me out. Evolution is quite well documented, while the extent that some people take it, seems a little far fetched without some kind of intervention or direction, it...

Can I ask what your motivation is for detailing this. The family model in Islam is pretty much the same as any other faith. Maybe a slight difference when we jump into topics of orphans and adoptions, but overall the same.

I'm not quite sure of the happenings of budget and such at the mosques I frequent, I'm not sure this really falls under a topic which can be discussed either. If you have an issue with the way things are being run in your community, then for sure I encourage you to get as involved as possible in...

This is the view of Islam as well. We also believe all children are born knowing knowing God and the correct path, but in our frailty of mind at the age are taught away from it. In Islam the Good is implanted in man, as is his naivety, a condition of the lack of wisdom that Allah contains...

That is a common argument of the non-believers, but doesn't really hold true to religious teachings (scriptural speaking). Yes we are created in God's image, that doesn't mean we are just like him. just as no Abrahamic faith believes God's powers are achievable by man (ok I admit, there might be...
