ok im not sure where to start here, but "control" has nothing to do with creation, I think and is more connected to destiny. I mean we are talking about the origins of life, if God created the first live cell, and it multiplied, its multiplication is an extension of that creation. It doesn't...
An endorsement coming from the heart (as opposed to being paid by corporations in a way or another). Hilarious! LOL

Theres a saying/rule in Fundamentals of Islamic jurisprudence, which is (translated literally) that "The judgement of something, is a branch of how its perceived." So maybe it would be easier of I discussed how we understand God.
I as a believer say God is the creator and He exists and that...
Those thoughts are deep. Not many are able to think on that level. This awareness of observing of your surroundings is only a reminder of God, and our purpose in life. I don't see anything "freaky" in it, rather the contrary, reminding us of God and our purpose in life.

So its either you accept multi culturalism and a secular democracy, or you...
I think he's the only honest politician out there and he's been speaking his mind for years. Not changing his ideas just to gain support of powerful lobbies, or for political parties ( and possibly win), deserves nothing but respect.
I agree with most of his ideas, especially ones regarding...
God doesn't "need" to be worshipped.
Also relevant to your guys' discussion, I think "what does worship mean?" is also very important to discuss, to see if he "needs" it or not.
I disagree with the definition for two reasons.
1- A definition should be "collective and preventive" meaning it has to include whats a part of it, and exclude thoughts that aren't. This "definition" doesn't do so. Also, we don't "define" God, because we cannot comprehend Him, so we just...
P1 doesn't state it explicitly. But P1 certainly says no creator exists (therefore God doesn't exist), which is an assumption.
I also have reservations on P5 and don't accept this as a "definition".
In Islamic theology, existence is of two types. Waajib Al Wujood and Momkin Al Wujood...
