Doesn't good also require intent?

Quran 4:78 - ...if a good thing visits them, they say, 'This is from God'; but if an evil thing visits them, they say, 'This is from thee.' Say: 'Everything is from God.'

Only if a person is referring to empirical evidence.

Isn't saying "there must be an absolute nothing" also special pleading? Why must there be? Is there some scientific support for it? The future generations will probably conclude that "Goddidit". :P I know what you mean. I've never microwaved an apple with my paint brush.

Same challenge as always. Greed.

Perhaps it is better to have purpose than to not.

To whom it may concern, If your kid is sick don't let it play with other kids at the playground. Little boy sneezed with extreme precision directly in my sons face, he spent the next day throwing up everything he tried to eat or drink.

Yes I believe God is unchanging. I mean everyone interprets God in their own way but not all are correct. Similarly you can choose to interpret 2+2 as equalling other than 4 but your interpretation will be incorrect. Why would a perfect, self sustaining, self sufficient God conform to His...

So wouldn't this indicate that "recruiting His kingdom that in time will battle the dark forces that oppose the light of truth and good" is not Gods purpose nor is it the intent behind our existence? Because God wants us to be good. To be good you have to choose good, to choose good evil must...

imo God is as subject to interpretation as 2+2 is.

Nope

that's cherry choosing.

I think things can be perfect for what they are aimed at. A ball can fit into a hole perfectly, a sentence can be structured perfectly, a math question can be answered perfectly etc. If the point of this existence is to highlight our imperfection then it is perfect for that purpose.. as are our...

Thank you for your response Arif. I would agree when it comes to things like my mothers lentil soup recipe or how to raise a pet giraffe.. but when it comes to matters of religion I don't understand how anyone finds this reasonable. 6:38 - We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our...

My problem with vaccines is the movement more so than the vaccines themselves. Though I do have concerns about the amount of things we are expected to get our children vaccinated for and what sort of preservatives, stabilisers etc. The other thing is, does it have to be so soon after they are...

I guess that explains why people get head traumas and wake up speaking a different language..

Thank you for clearing that up. It is not that hard to see the evidence.. it's probably just not as specific as you would like. Take any human endeavour, add large amounts of money to it and it becomes corrupted. I have little doubt that Iblis is unaware of this formula. When you know the end...

There are no gate keepers except the celestial gate keepers?

I guess not, but it doesn't say he prescribed Himself any other attribute iirc. It is repeated in; 6:54 - And when those who believe in Our signs come to thee, say, 'Peace be upon you. Your Lord has prescribed for Himself mercy. Whosoever of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents...

In the Quran God says He chose Mercy as His chief attribute. 6:12 - Say: 'To whom belongs what is in the heavens and in the earth?' Say: 'It is God's. He has prescribed for Himself mercy.
