wiegraf: So many ways . Especially by superintending things to happen . Like bringing the universe into being , life from non life , ingraining in the human genome the propensity to evolve etc . wiegraf: Nope , God is an unembodied mind who is evidently involved in causal relations unlike abstract things like numbers . You need to steer away from your perspective that all minds must have a physical body to function. wiegraf: This self existent unembodied mind , God , has expressed its freedom of will by creating the universe 13.8 billion years ago . |

ibtz: You need a lesson in Islam? The Qur'an says: "Fight and slay the pagans [Christians] wherever ye find them and seize them, confine them, and lie in wait for them in every place of ambush" (Surah 9:5) 2:190-193 Fight in the cause of God, those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out: For tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; But fight them not at the sacred Mosque unless they first fight you there; But if they fight you, Slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression." 2:216-217 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not. They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited Month. Say: "Fighting therein is a grave (offense); but graver is it in the sight of God to prevent access to the path of God, to deny Him, to prevent access to the Sacred Mosque, and drive out its members. Tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter. Nor will they cease fighting you until they turn you back from your faith if they can. And if any of you turn back from their faith and die in unbelief, their works will bear no fruit in this life and in the Hereafter; they will be Companions of the Fire and will abide therein. 2:244-245 Then fight in the cause of God, and know that God heareth and knoweth all things. Who is he that will loan to God a beautiful loan, which God will double unto his credit and multiply many times? It is God that giveth (you) want or plenty, and to Him shall be your return. 4:74-77 Let those fight in the cause of God who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter, to him who fighteth in the cause of God, whether he is slain or gets victory, soon shall We give him a reward of great (value). And why should ye not fight in the cause of God and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)? Men, women, and children whose cry is: "Our Lord! rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from Thee one who will protect; and raise for us from Thee one who will help!" Those who believe fight in the cause of God, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil: so fight ye against the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan. Hast thou not turned thy vision to those who were told to hold back their hands (form fight) but establish regular prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as, or even more than, they should have feared God: they say: "Our Lord! why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not grant us respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do right: never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least! 4:95-96 Not equal are those believers who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home). Unto all (in Faith) Hath God promised good: But those who strive and fight Hath He distinguished above those who sit (at home) by a special reward: Ranks specially bestowed by Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy. For God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. 5:51 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust. 5:72-73: They do blaspheme who say: "God is Christ the son of Mary." But said Christ: "O Children of Israel! worship God, my Lord and your Lord." Whoever joins other. This is your koran commanding you to kill Christians and Jews. |

benzics: Now you get the gimmicks ! Implicit atheism was coined by George Smith in the 1970s . He basically redefined atheism to mean the lack of belief in gods : he called this type of atheism , implicit atheism . George Smith averred that one does not need to consciously and explicitly reject God or the knowledge of God to be an atheist . In the same vein , King Ebuka also coined implicit theism which means that one does not need to consciously and explicitly accept the existence of God , just having the knowledge of God like you do makes you a theist .

ibtz:lol, Mr Muslim, no one mention Jesus here. You keep rambling, this God of Abraham is allah right? Good, apart from Jibril, who else did he appear to? because muhammed never saw him or even heard from him. How do you intend to go about proving a god who never revealed himself to your precious prophet? Did this your allah ever reveal himself to Abrahim? |

analice107: Wow did u take ur tym to read dis b4 u posted. It is mentioning God oo. And d pagans u r referring to is d arab pagans that existed in d tym of Muhammad who killed and maimed every muslim dey came across in Mecca. The prophet migrated to medina and still dey gathered to kill him. It clearly states in d verses u posted above attack only if u r attacked first. D Quran never mentioned christians as pagans but instead called dem directly or called dem people of the book (past scriptures). It says Fight against justice and opression. U just copy pasted without even reading all d verses . There were christians and Jews livin with him in medina and dere was neva any problem. Did u know dat? |

benzics: The final statements by the human in the video was inspiring and fairly accurate. That said it was nothing but the usual display of poor logic from atheists. For instance, the argument that God's intelligence requires explanation is silly. Obviously, if God is eternal His intellect requires no explanation, even when moreso His intellect is not contingent on a brain. The argument that human intelligence shouldn't require explanation like God is likewise stupid. Humans are temporal and their intellect requires a brain as such it's origins and functions via the brain requires an explanation. The argument that evolution explains intelligence is silly. It doesn't though I won't bother demostrating that. But even if it did it won't hamper the fact that God's properties being self-existent and eternal require no explanation. The video goes on to show several Gods who created God showing the illogic of an infinite regress. 6 Likes 1 Share |

benzics: You don't even get his question . He is tacitly asking me why my conception of God as a Christian is true not the Islamic or deistic or polydeistic conceptions And of course , you atheists don't understand or even know the meaning of 'evidence' Evidence : the available body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. Like I earlier asked : how can aliens tell if intelligent life on earth existed if all life gets obliterated . Our super complex intricate designs like : architectural designs , computers , cars , robots , basically any artificial system that is intricately designed . These body of facts or information - the complexity of our handiwork - indicate that intelligent life existed on earth . And the level of complexity of these artificial systems can tell how intelligent we are . Now apply this reasoning to our universe . Super complex bodies and systems , even the most minute things like the cells are complex in every level . Take a look at the brain : We have brains that have trillions of connections made by billions of neurons - the brain has the most number connections ever known to Science . With functions like memory , learning , and serving as our guidance system . We have other super complex bodies like the planets , stars , you know it all . But since this complexity isn't self existent , it must have been designed . This information about the complexity of the universe indicate ( evidence ) that the proposition an intelligent designer exists is true or valid . Simple ! |

wiegraf: There's no chicken-egg problem if the chicken always existed and the egg didn't. So, also you cannot presume there's a contingency (or chicken-egg) problem in the mind-matter divide. Mind is greater than matter. Matter in itself absolutely lacks mental properties; mind on the other hand has the ability to concieve of matter and this is why humans via their mind routinely effect new material configurations that did not exist before. So, the very nature of mind includes the concept of matter and power over it but matter in itself has no mind. 1 Like 1 Share |

benzics: that's the point.. you don't seem to fully understand the nature of a said “supreme being"... if the said God has a creator, then it is not a supreme God... If you claim god cannot have a God, then it's simple, humans can also not have a God, yeah humans had beginnings, what if there is a god and he had a beginning? a supreme being cannot have a beginning.. if it does... its not supreme.. the created are always subject to laws.. if our said creator is created, then it should be subject to laws.. which is not the case.. there has not been one law of the universe the said creator has been subject to.. if you know of any.. please tell me We reject all you say about god, because we know they are simply not true, we don't even know if there is a god.. a self eternal and self existent God cannot be created.. a circle has no beginning.. the deistic view of a supreme God isn't like the personal religious views depicting God like a human.. God is more than just form.. I'm taking of a supreme being here.. it is more than just form.. more than just energy.. because it gives energy to the whole universe.. its like living energy.. energy with something more than just a mind.. do you believe Newton's law which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed?? if you do then a supreme creator who is not just more than energy but the source of all energy in the universe should not be hard for you to fathom. If at all you make your statements on the stance that they are mere beliefs, we would even consider them for what they are, beliefs! But if you go about saying they are facts, then you really need to shut it! and i ask again... what way or method or experiment do you want us to use to verify these beliefs... atheists tried to use logic to disprove the existence of God.. but when logic is not in their favour, they reject it.. i still ask again.. what machine or experiment can be used to ascertain or disprove the claims of God?? you keep yelling at us to prove it... but you failed to tell us how... so i ask again.... how?? 1 Like 1 Share |
