    ''TIME'' - definitions.

    This was one of them, she did it from her laptop so I don't have the history. Another one I watched is actually mentioned in the link above(It has a badly drawn alien in it). They were the two I found most informative. The rest were pretty much just repeating the same information. Anything you...

    I should add, I look forward to learning your thoughts on it once you get through it. Or if you have any thoughts/questions along the way.

    ''TIME'' - definitions.

    My wife, who studied astrophysics, carefully curated some youtube videos to explain it to me.. I still don't get it. :D It seems like nothing means two things here, first is the proper definition, that which has no properties but then this "nothing" seems to have at least one property.. things...

    Christmas

    I think it was shoehorned into Christianity to keep the pagan tradition alive and that there is a concerted effort to secularise it to pave the way for its eventual return to its pagan roots. Besides that I find it an enjoyable time of the year.

    Is Islam peaceful?

    To be honest all translations are flawed in someway. As someone who doesn't speak or read Arabic I try to use as many interpretations as I can, but this is only necessary for certain passages where there may be some confusion or controversy. For 99% of the Quran any of the popular translations...

    ''TIME'' - definitions.

    That's not what I'm asking. What I'm asking is, what do you believe the universe came into existence to? Something must of existed prior to it because you need something to exist within.

    ''TIME'' - definitions.

    So, you believe that the universe existed prior to the stuff it is made up of? Obviously I went to the effort of making the statement because I too am interested in your response. The universe is made up of it's parts. It is contingent on them. But is everything caused by something else?

    Fascinating and troubling discourse

    I've never understood this accusation. Religion tends to outline certain ethics/morals to follow. If enough people adhere to these ethics within a nation then that nations politics and laws are naturally going to be influenced. This applies to any religion.

    Is Islam peaceful?

    That's because the wars they were called to fight in were not worthy by Islamic standards. Also you are referring to individual Muslims, I am referring to the text of the Quran.
