Initially I just wanted to read comments... I did... And then I had indigestion... All I saw were men show casing their debts of ignorance and blind sightedness! It is understandable for one to say "man made God out of his imagination" but then that reasoning leaves a lot to be desired; where are your facts It is "reasonable" to say "how would a God after having created humans put before them satan to bring them doo should they falter" intelligent reasoning, but would hold no water in the lights of sound argument. It is "Logical" to say "God is a spirit with no beginning" because in the light of evidences; evolutionary or science, there has to be a source, a "higher power" behind life as we know it. It is ultimately stupid to say God does not exist, cause if you did then you are in strong denial |

GerogeI: The question is how did you know that their is something as outside space and time? Or is it just an assumption you came up with? what is outside space and time? You see this space and time crap just proves God(s) are just a product of human wild imagination... Theist can't explain how their God started, then to kill that curiosity comes up with something like 'outside space and time' How did you know? 1 Like |

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: Men will continue to question one another till this is propounded: Allah created all things but who created Allah? He who found himself confronted with such a situation should seek the refuge of Allah from satan and say: I affirm my faith in Allah. |

johnydon22: When you open your mouth to slot food in, you are dealing with volume- that is space. When you reference the sequence of birth of your siblings that is time. These are such mundane human experiences that I saw no reason to tell you how we all observe them. However, it is a fact that our basic understanding of these sensations break down in the face of advanced physics. That is exactly why Einstein is very popular |

Solozzo:the big bang didnt state space was created at the point.....we aren't even sure what space is exactly..if it must contain matter, or be between two objects to be held relevant or existent. Nobody knws the origin of Energy, it has always been and cant be created or destroyed. the big bang itself was a result of Energy density and high tempereture that triggered the expansion. Its nt a "creation story" asin creation from nothing but about the origins of the expansive state the universe has become today 2 Likes |

OBlaize: You believe in a god for which you have no proof. Many of you 'god fearing' types follow religious creeds where you are openly told to rely on 'faith' and not ask questions but you demand that everyone else come up with evidence. It is for the claimant to show proof of the claim. Otherwise the default position is to dismiss the claim. You fail to be logical because you (like billions others) have been brainwashed into believing it is your duty to defend the irrational. 2 Likes |

OBlaize: It isn't "ultimately stupid to say God does not exist" if there are no evidences to the contrary. There are posts in this thread that have already dealt with the issues of evolution, big bang theory, existence of God, Science and religion. No need reinventing the wheel going over it again. My submission can be summarised thus: there are no concrete evidences of God's existence outside the "holy books" written by men. If God exists, then he should reveal himself in an unambiguous way. Relying on man's interpretation of God is essentially flawed since man is easily influenced. Man created God in man's image and not the other way round...until proven otherwise with verifiable "facts" and not conjectures or philosophy. 2 Likes |

johnydon22: I tried explaining that in my very first post. let me repeat. 1. The definition of time, has been shown to be relative, given that widely far apart points of observation in space yield different sequences of events for supposedly same time interval. Infact this effect of space on time has lead to ideas that it seems all things might have actually occurred already, we are just the ones living them. 2. Advanced physics theories have come to conclusion that things like so called big bang and nature of matter can only be explained if the are about 11 dimensions of physical reality. You and I can only identify three, there is no doubt that their is more! We just do not understand them yet. |

“I like your question and may God always make us of those who seek true knowledge to better understand our purpose of this life, Ameen. This question has to be evaluated on its merits and restated according to Islamic understandings. First and foremost, Muslims do not compare God to His creation. Therefore, the question can be answered as such due to the fact that God is completely Exalted and far above mortal description; He is not “like” His creation. God tells us in His Book that He is “As-Samad” (The eternally Besought of all). He is also the “Al-Awwal” (First) and the “Al-’Akhir” (Last) He is without beginning or end. This is how He always was and always is, and always will be, so to speak. Second, Islam is clear on the issue of asking questions about God, warning people against being influenced by such question which could plant doubt into someone’s mind or drive him away from the Right Path. Let us consider the Hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wherein he mentioned that the Shaytan (Satan) will come to you and trouble you with questions like: “Who created this or that?” To which you would logically respond: “God.” Until he would come to the question: “Then who created God?” At which point the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us to say: “I seek refuge in God from the accursed devil.” And then leave off this train of thought. (Reported by Muslim) You might also consider similar questions that the enemies of Islam have used for centuries to weaken one’s faith in the existence of God. To illustrate: When the disbelievers come to you and ask you if you believe in God, you would logically reply: “Yes.” Then they would ask you: “Can your God do anything?” You would say: “Yes.” Then they would ask you: “Can your God make something huge?” You would say: “Of course.” They would say: “Can your God make something so big that nothing can move it?” Then you would say: “Yes.” Then they would say: “You mean that your God could make something so big that nothing could ever move it?” Again, you say: “Yes.” Then they say: “So big that even your God can’t move it?” Now you have a problem. Either you answer: “Yes.” They will say: “Then that means your God cannot do everything. Because now there is something that your God cannot do. He cannot move the object.” But if you answer: “No.” They will simply say: “Then this is something that your God cannot do.” This is a similar problem to the one you have mentioned. This is the idea of a god that is having problems with his own creation. The concept of God in Islam is that He is never compared to His creation. He merely says: “Be.” And it is. So, God does not operate like a human or anyone or anything within His creation. Within the laws of creation is the rule that nothing moves except that there is a fulcrum, a lever and a force. God does not have to use a fulcrum and lever to move anything. One of His attributes is that He is “Al-Qawiyy” (The All Powerful). So, He is the Power. He does not come under the rules of His creation. He makes the rules. He operates within His own rules; He changes His rules as He pleases, and according to the way He deems fit. That is the understanding of the Muslims. |

You can never imagine how relief i am to learn that you don't believe in the reptilians creating or civilizing the black people, what a relief! though! the reptilians, greys and andromedans exist, they are the younger siblings of the pink man(caucasian), but much more and far more intelligent than the whiteman. all of them together are not intelligent at all compare to the knowledge of the blackman. nothing can outsmart its creator. As per self-forgetfulness, if you are truely a blackman like you claim, i have experienced how deep you are in forgetfulness which is the same with evil or imitating the evil of the white race without even knowing. You do not know the history of the African traditions you so claim to love, but in fact, in reality, it is your cover face. Go and play fifa 15 if there aren't some champion league match fixed at the moment. GooseBaba: |

johnydon22:At your pic. @you do realise God already did plenty for that child, _ a wonderfully designed body copable of taking in a lot of variety of materials for energy _ a food storage system incorporated with the body in such unique way _ ability to fight of diseases and survive _ senses for defence and delight _ most importantly ability to create. The main thing bad about that picture is you and me refusing to do our part How come such pictures of sufferings only come from a particular part of the world, likely inhabited by a very lazy race of people? 1 Like |
