pretzelman: My point..exactly. When one closes their mind to reason and thought...they become a rock..sand..a nothing! I believe in a Christian God...but will not say that my belief is right. It is right FOR ME. Don't try and force your belief that it is the ONLY way. Allah..is a choice...not a fact! Thought it may be a fact in some minds...it is not a fact.
By the way ur point is not Good.....definatly ur blieve is not right
galwaydave: which is more ignorant? believing there is a god or believing there is no possibility of one?
Which is more ignorant, assuming a person is guilty until proven innocent, or assuming that the accused is innocent until proven guilty?
"Guilty until proven innocent" is the same faulty logic as "god exists until disproven". Innocent until proven guilty is the same solid logic as "god" doesn't exist until proven. It's also the same logical process used in mathematics, science and technology. That computer you're reading this on would not exist if "true until proven false" were the basis of science.
If the religious had the honesty to admit that they can't prove their "god" exists, exactly how would that prevent them from believing in it? It wouldn't, and an honest person would admit that. The religious, however, and especially the rabidly religious, want a different burden of proof for their religion because they know they can't prove it. To admit that a "god" can't be proven in any testable and verifiable way would preclude any attempt to impose religion upon the law and society in general. Religion would become a strictly private matter, as it should be.
The agnostic view that "maybe it's true, and maybe it isn't" is fine when you're talking philosophy, semantics and sophistry, but in the real world, all propositions are either false or true. They cannot be both.
The null hypothesis of "false until proven true" doesn't make assertions without evidence, nor does it deny that something can't be true. All it does is place the burden of proof on those making the claim, that the onus is upon the claimant to produce the evidence. Only those who know their claim is empty and false would have a problem with that.
mrali: Choice.......... God is choice........Ahhh,may God pity on you
Sir, God is Fact and we should blieve,non blievers are known as athiest and thier place is hell.
M, he's right in a way...believing in God is a choice. And this is why I say it's ignorant to try to tell others that your beliefs are the only right ones. We don't know that...we can only believe it, no matter which side one is on.
You choose to see God in everything around you, as do I. You choose to see that God as Allah, and to believe what your books teach you is correct and true. That doesn't mean it's correct and true...just that it's correct and true for you. My beliefs in God are different than yours...and are correct and true for me, but wouldn't be for you. That doesn't make either of us right or wrong overall. Nor is Crotty's lack of belief wrong...it's right for him.
Neither of you will convince each other, or anyone else, that your beliefs, or lack of beliefs, are correct as absolute truth. To try to do so is what I believe is ignorant.
mrali: i have write in the previuos sessions,plz take a look on it universe is evidence of God,
No, it's not scientific evidence, M. Yes, to me it's evidence, and to you it's evidence, because of each of our belief systems...but to those who need hard, scientific evidence, it's not...and never will be.

Love you both. Peace out.

Only Plague

Agreed.
And this is why I don't tell anyone that their belief or lack thereof is wrong. I know what I believe, and the truth will be known after I die, not while I'm alive. I'm content to have my faith w/o needing proof, nor needing to prove it to others, and accept those who don't believe as having the same right. I even understand why they don't believe, since empirical evidence is lacking.

Actually ,i did not read scientific Books,i have only read the quran,All the science is mentionded clearly in quran,and the quran is thousands of years old book ,

Again, this is your belief, M...that doesn't make it absolute Truth. Just makes it true for you and others with this belief.

Dru,i am an educated person so i donot blieve in only myth, it is absloute truth,i mentioned all the things clear,i think science is not strong or powerfull than the creation of God,also science is related wth the creation of God.

Its more ignorant to believe there is no possibility of god cause science is still trying to prove it every day.And believing in god is just like believin in santaclaus or rudolph the rednose reindeer by the way,that can still be innocent and faith is a personal conviction. Just a scientifical fact.
I could just as easily say there is no God because I dreamed that he came to me and told me he didn't exist! Is that any stranger than believing he really does exist?
druidess6308: Crotty, I didn't expect you to believe in the research, for it goes against everything you believe, or your lack of beliefs, but the evidence is showing that we have a soul. I think in time, there will be more.

No problem,entire science is giving the evidence of God Go to the Medical science,how they make the medicines?what are the ingredents of medicines,Ans: The herbs and chemicals Who grow the herbs?science is silent go to the engineering
What are the ingredents in cement? Stone and wack Who creat the stone and wack?science is silent
Go to the Telecommunication
What are the sources for the travel of signals?Ans:Oxigin Who creat the oxigin?science is silent
So like that there are thousnads of evidence for the thinker but unfortunatly their brain are blocked

But you already stated your science comes from the Q'ran, not scientific texts. Sorry, but that is why it's not absolute truth, but belief/faith...nor is it scientific in origin, but religious.
HealthyLiving: Dru wrote: "Nor is Crotty's lack of belief wrong...it's right for him."YES it's Right for HIM!!!
Good to know I won't have to share space in the afterlife with him Only have to deal with him in the NOW, on CS! Sorry Crot... just couldn't resist! I still have my moments...
This is everything in a nutshell....none of us really KNOW anything....the only proof we will have will be after we die. Then it is too late to debate! Death will answer all question and open the closed mind,,,Starlin
