It's actually not that difficult.
Technological advancement is an exponential function, such as population. However, technology, I believe, isn't logistic in practical use. Technological advancement begins slowly, but as the values compound the value m continually increases. Think of it...
I was skimming through a thread when a few words struck me.
Thread in question: http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/current-events/108616-me-rf-forums-going-down-dark.html
So commenced that rare occasion where I think about something for more than 32.7 seconds, and I decided to post this...
You're right! Intelligence just affects my skills, but wisdom will boost a save.
Can I brag too? Stir 304.75 grams NaOH slowly into 863.24 grams of dihydrogen monoxide, and you should get my IQ in about 30 seconds.
Then in about 30 minutes, you'll get Revoltingest's
I'm not delving into the Arabic mess.
But I do have a question, why is the part I quoted above relevant? Why does the Koran borrowing material from biblical texts actually matter?
I think it may be wise to take a step back and perhaps examine your mindset before continuing a debate. You have consistently demonstrated an unwillingness to listen to others, and your energy is thoroughly hostile and condescending. It is not conducive to healthy debate, my friend. :)

That's another great point. Sin, or rather the transgression of divine law (and the insinuation of the existence of any divine law) is an Abrahamic concept. The idea that breaking some "divine law" will earn you a seat of eternal suffering does not work for me. :)
This, in my opinion, depends heavily upon the answerer's definition of humanity's nadir, whether they actually believe in redemption, and what exactly redemption/salvation/enlightenment is.
For me, I believe it is of course possible. Change is an innate property of the flow of the universe...
Fact: Christianity and Islam are incredibly similar, as are all religions really.
Argument: Holy Scriptures are almost always based off of older works, so bringing up the fact that what was in the Quran was penned earlier in the bible is illogical. Because everything that was in the bible...
When taking Taiji I was taught that Meditation is, ideally, complete Yin. It is utter receptiveness to your surroundings, with no force or tension (Yang). HOWEVER, as Justicate stated above, forcing the path is Yang. Yin is something that cannot be forced, but only attained by absence and...
Sorry for the terribly late response! It's probably not relevant anymore, but I'll answer regardless. I believe you are misinterpreting what I mean by "God". The truly appropriate term would be sacredness, rather than "God". I was simply using the term "God" because it was what the OP used...
Then don't preach, simply discuss. Humans are social creatures and discussion of these things comes naturally. If the great teachers never imparted their teachings, then we wouldn't have many religions we do today. This thread looks half-joke-proselytizing and half-place-to-post-your-beliefs...
