Do you guys believe in god?

[Knight_Ange1]

what's wrong wit saying god created all living things by way of evolution?

That's a good idea. There ya go, buddy. At least someone has a right idea. +1

Bcuz I do think there's a god, But he didn't make an Adam and a Eve person right off hand.

Evolution can already work without a guided hand. Why add one?

[TOloseGT]

no, i'm saying god started the chain of evolution, then god let it go on its own. he's just a creator, not a mentor. who knows, he was prolly a martian that seeded earth =]

[/Pi]

In the context outside naturalism, that is a good solution between the conflict of creationism and evolution. However, within the context of naturalism, these words come up: empirical evidence.

Let us also not forget that the formation of self-replicating machines (that can start evolution) can be explained by hypotheses that are currently being tested and studied. As far as I know, none of them are conclusive yet but they provide better explanations than "God did it".

Greetings Prophet Izaach,
Your hope that naturalism can provide better explanations than "God did it" is only possible if one is highly selective of the evidence viewed.

Do you have a link to empirical evidence (proof, not involving theory) showing how cross species evolution happened? Philosophical Naturalism can be defined as "there ain't no god, no-way, no-shape, no-how" so any teleological, design based, anthropomorphic-quasi-natural explanations would (naturally) be prohibited.

Terms like "empirical evidence" are certainly easy to bandy about, anyone can claim possession of such things but... if I were to allege that creationists had discovered empirical evidence of the existence of God you could reasonably reply "YouTube or it didn't happen." If you choose to reply to my challenge kindly provide any empirical evidence that can withstand the rigorous examination you would bring to bear.

That video is completely irrelevant.
Why?
The people he was talking to appeared not to know how to talk about their faith. Look, for example, at the one in the discussion about Santa Claus.

[Barotix]

Blurred you don't understand evolution stop listening to people that just argue against a straw man version of evolution. Most people like you go; "Oh, evolution is just a theory." Well then "Mr. just a theory." Is gravity real? Is Magnetism real? Does the Earth go around the Sun? Is the Earth spherical?

Science != Religion. Stop thinking of Science as a religion.

If that link isn't it, I'm sure whatever floating rock you speak has been proven to be an optical illusion.

And how did Muhammad know about the sperm, the egg and the zygote?
[75:37] Was he (man) not a drop of semen emitted? Then he did become something leech-like which clings...
[23:14]...We made the drop into an leech-like structure, and then We changed the leech-like structure into a chewed-like substance, then We changed the chewed-like substance into bones, skeleton, then We clothed the flesh with muscles, then We caused him to grow and come into being as another creation.

Can someone tell me how anyone would know that sperm looked like a leech-like structure 1600 years ago?

Muslims were very Scientific back then. Know your history before you go off quoting passages from the Kuran. The resurgence of Extremism in the Middle East stifled Islamic Science to the point of extinction. The middle east was very civilized after it was organized under Islam.

About the floating rock: It's most likely an optical illusion.

The earliest microscopes were made in the year 1595. Unless you are trying to tell me that you can see how sperm looks like with your bare eyes, you did not answer my question.

machines may be able to make evolution, but millions of years ago, there were no machines and billion dollar things that could create shit. we had a thread like this before, and basicaly it comes down to believing in god or science because the universe had to come from somewhere, just people have different ideas bout how it started

the fact of the matter is that Muhammad was not the first person to come up with this idea of sperm. Ideas of what it looked like had been around thousands of years before him kind of like folklore. If you look at most ancient cultures they often equate sperm to things like serpents and other slithering crawlies...Nothing in the Bible, the Tanakh, or the Qur'an is original content. Its all basically the stories, legends, beliefs, or reinterpretations of the cultures and stories that came b4 them....remember that.

They didn't. You don't have to know what sperm actually is, or looks like, to assume what it does. And in this case assume vaguely.

[Barotix]

Just in case:
It's called Deductive reasoning.

Every Civilization used it. Whenever my Christian friends try to convert people I like to remind them that their imaginary friend plagiarizes material.

So I guess he was very lucky with his deductive reasoning.

Like how he said that the sun is a lamp while the moon reflects
[71:16]And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp.

And how muhammad said all living thing came from water (which even scientists believe)
[21:30] ...And We made every living thing from water...

And how muhammad talks about supernovas


VERY lucky Deductive reasoning.

[Reise]

Ugh.

[Barotix]

You can see supernovas that happened billions of years ago. Gazing upon the cosmos, one finds a mirror into the past. You must remember that none of Mohammed's ideas are original.

This must be a huge coinsidence too

The miracle of the physical properties of Iron

Allah Almighty informs us , while teaching us, that Iron was actually descended from the sky and only came to form part of the Earth's make up after the spoken of descent, this is to say that it is a principal component of a meteorite class known as siderites and is a minor constituent of the other two meteorite classes as science today explains in the following link .

Los Alamos Laboratory's Periodic Table of the Elements

Also in the following link details of element click here for Iron properties

It is also a miracle that this verse is in chapter 57 which represents the atomic weight(not the avg atomic weight but a stable middle isotope). The verse which mentions the Iron is number 25 and the total number of verses of this chapter is 29 thus four(04) remaining verses to end this magnificent chapter.
Also the number of neutrons 30 - 04 = gives 26 which is the atomic number of iron and the number of its protons
Allah (SWT) says in the Holy Book The Quran :-

In The Name of Allah most Gracious most Merciful:
"we Verily sent our messengers with clear proofs, and revealed with them the Scripture and Balance, that mankind may observe right measure; and He revealed(descended) iron, wherein is mighty power and many uses for mankind,, and that Allah may know who helpth Him and His messengers, though unseen. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty."

Verily Allah Speaks the Truth.

From The holy Quran Chapter 57 Surat Al Hadeed (The Iron) verse 25


Isotopes
Isotope Half Life
Fe-52 8.3 hours
Fe-54 Stable
Fe-55 2.7 years
Fe-56 Stable
Fe-57 Stable
Fe-58 Stable
Fe-59 54.5 days
Fe-60 1500000.0 years

the fact of the matter is that Muhammad was not the first person to come up with this idea of sperm. Ideas of what it looked like had been around thousands of years before him kind of like folklore.

Sources of the folklorse of sperm plz

You can see supernovas that happened billions of years ago. Gazing upon the cosmos, one finds a mirror into the past. You must remember that none of Mohammed's ideas are original.

When I look through my telescope I do not see any Supernovas.

It isn't a coincidence when you base all of your holy writings on the ramblings of Greek Philosophers then go around and say your imaginary friend revealed it to you.

The Greeks existed before Mohamed:

Did your imaginary friend reveal that to the Greeks too?

Your prophet attributes findings Greeks made before his time to a supernatural being. There were other civilizations that were more advanced than muslims at the time of your prophet that discovered these things through Deductive Reasoning. All Mohamed did was compile all these findings and said god made it possible. It isn't hard to say a god made something possible.

And I see nothing about the structure of sperm in that...

You are hopeless and oblivious.
