    If a God created the first living cell, what would that imply about creationism?

    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...

    If a God created the first living cell, what would that imply about creationism?

    His statement in which it is assumed that if God did create a cell, then He's not very powerful, because thats all He could create.

    If a God created the first living cell, what would that imply about creationism?

    Why wouldn't God "creating" the first cell, say anything about creationism? Im not sure how intentions and results fit in here.

    Argument against Kalam.

    Or none of what exists in this universe, can cause something nonexistent to begin to exist. This I would agree with.

    Argument against Kalam.

    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...

    Is life freaky or what

    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. That those endowed...

    Muslims do not worship the same god as the Christians

    I think all believe in God, and have differences in understanding His attributes, and how to pray to Him (directly, or via middle men).

    Argument against Kalam.

    Then there you go, a disagreement in what God is. That only weakens the argument further. Although Jews, Christians, and Muslims, believe that He is the creator, and believe it inseparable from their understanding of God. Usually such arguments are intended for those who have this understanding...

    Is Multiculturalism really good for society?

    In todays world, democracy and multiculturalism go together. The is especially if the society is secular, because you can't discriminate against other cultures or/religions, and maintain a secular democratic society. So its either you accept multi culturalism and a secular democracy, or you...

    What's your opinion of Rep. Ron Paul?

    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...

    Why Do Gods Need To Be Worshipped

    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.

    Argument against Kalam.

    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...

    Argument against Kalam.

    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...

    Is it really faith?

    I don't think believing means believing with no proof. I think faith should never be baseless, rather the opposite. God gave us brains to use them, not to hand them out to individuals who use religion to control people.

    Which one is better foundation for a legal system, the Qur`an or the Bible?

    Sharia law is a very broad phrase. The vast majority of Islamic laws are derived from general "rules". Like "Disallowing harm, and being harmed" "law dharara wall dhiraar". This simple rule would apply to thousands of things. Another rule "Everything is allowed unless mentioned otherwise"...

    Argument against Kalam.

    P1 assumes God doesn't exist. Then in the end, it reaches the conclusion that was assumed earlier.

    CAIRO: The head of Israel’s defense ministry’s diplomatic-security bureau warned of a possible “Islamic empire” if Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad were to be ousted. Amos Gilad said that the removal of the Syrian leader would lead to a “devastating crisis for Israel.” His comments come as...

    Post-Islamists in the Arab world (or, Islamists mugged by reality)

    People generally just want to keep their Islamic identity. They aren't against "freedoms", they are fighting for them. Now what kind of governments will develop? We don't know. Oppression of previously western-supported dictators is what pushed most to have extreme tough and sometimes...
