Plus I don't believe Mormonism or scientology has ever been indicted in a financial scandal.
Scientology is the financial scandal.
Do not murder, do not steal, do not rape, do not deal with each other unjustly, do not give money on interest, do not drink alcohol etc
Until He tells you to do those very things, though.
Punishments like stoning and cutting of hands for theft should be viewed as the ultimate deterrents rather than barbaric punishments.
There are times I sympathize, but they are still barbaric.
Before you point to groups like isis, you will have to show their understanding is correct from the Qur'an and Hadiths.
I don't really care about ISIS. They are a bunch of violent children pretending to be adults.
Therefore unless our morale guidance comes from a external higher all knowing source, we are prone to making devastating errors of judgement.
We have nothing written by any higher source, though. We have only human claims of it.
Only mankind has been given higher understanding, and gifted with higher intellect and reasoning skills.
I dunno. I've met nonhumans much smarter than humans.
"According to a new study published this week in the journal Nature, researchers conducting the first-ever genomic study of indigenous Australians have found evidence of a single “out of Africa” migration for modern humans and confirmed a long-standing claim that Australia’s Aboriginal civilization is the oldest on the planet, dating back some 50,000 years."
But if they are from Africa, that makes the Africans the earliest civilizations. What we see here, I think, is an irrational need by the authors to deny Africa any sense of accomplishment.
It's like being on the top floor of a building that's on fire, you ring for help and the operator replies they have to get consent from their superior before dispatching the fire and rescue services, their superior replies, they need consent from their superiors and this goes on and on infinitely. Logically that permission will never come, and no one sent to the rescue. For this reason, we say GOD is the uncaused first cause from which everything we know of originated from.
All those people who declined to do it themselves will die along with those they condemned. Your analogy doesn't work because if a tenant, not a person of authority, called 911 and got the fire department out there, the "God" in this scenario wouldn't have done anything, just the "rabble". I love God but He has to accept responsibility for the fact lots of people die waiting for Him to "cause" something.
They were all the result of a Creative Designer, any other theory is mathematically impossible.
Given how often things go wrong with "creation", I doubt the IQ of said "Creator."
You have to remember this was revealed in the 7th Century when the Bedouin Arabs dwelt in tents, moving freely in search of water.
My point still stands. It's an evangelical religion, so spreading is its JOB.
It's like saying that I will give my patients medication at work is a prophecy. No, it's not: IT IS MY JOB DESCRIPTION.
This prophecy would have meant absolutely nothing to them 1,400 years ago, yet today we see Arabs competing for the tallest sky scrapers:
Who cares, though? Obviously God stopped caring after the Tower of Babel. The reality is, if you can't build out, build up (or down).
I didn't sat Islam would be eradicated, just the Muslims will be under the feet of their enemies, like we saw when Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia were bombed. Countries like Egypt and Jordan helping enemies suppress Muslims.
Then how is Islam dominant like the prophecy? You can't have it both ways.
He tells us in the Qur'an, He is 'above' His Creation
Try to think outside the box for a minute and come up with evidence of this OUTSIDE the Quran.
See the video to my reply to Kelly, 'What Is The Probability of Life?' >>>>>>> Absolutely not possible in that time span.
LOL, but poofing an entire universe in 6 days (which wouldn't be possible anyway because of what "day" actually means) is possible?
Its only been 65 million years since the demise of dinosaurs.
And I've been crying ever since. They were God's true masterpieces.
