Signs of water seen on planet outside solar system!

Close, but doesn't quite win first place.



I will not speak for other beliefs, but as a Muslim, I know it would be imposable to Modify the Qur'an. The Qur'an is as it always was and any attempt at modification would not be the Qur'an. If we keep looking at his wunder creation we can then modify these books to get closer to the truth of his greatness(notice I just said closer).

You are right, I am sorry. I as a christain can not change the Bible Nor you as a muslem can change the Koran no matter what, that would change our faith statements and we do not have the power to do that.

I stand corrected, thank you.

Please

I do not know islamic traditions, I in no way mean to offend.

If you quote me, do not change whats in the quotes. It really changes my meaning.

I am from The USA and we are not supposed to madify any words when we quote.:?

Is this a islamic custom (changeing quotes) that I should be aware of?

Thank You

No this is not an Islamic only thing. You may have already noticed many of the members are not Muslim. A forum itself has no religion. The members of the forum are the ones with the religion.

I see what you are seeing as changing quotes. Many of us will either highlight, color, underline the part of a quote we are addressing, to point out what our reply directs to. the original statement remains unchanged, and if a person desires to see the original statement they need only click on the little arrow next to the name.

This simply means the entire post is not being referred to, just the highlighted portion. The rest is just shown to verify the source.

There is no intent to alter your words. The purpose is to provide reference to what is being addressed. I'm in the US also and this is standard practice on nearly every forum I belong to.

Your original words in the original post remain unchanged.

For example if I wanted to address part of my first paragraph, I would do this.

No this is not an Islamic only thing. You may have already noticed many of the members are not Muslim. A forum itself has no religion. The members of the forum are the ones with the religion.

I have not changed the quote, I have highlighted the part I wish to talk about and showing the source of the original statement.

In this case I would be addressing that I had made the statement that a forum has no religion.

If I were to quote that statement alone like this:

A forum itself has no religion.

That would be taking it out of context and I could address it in any manner I choose and give meanings to it that were not intended in the full paragraph.

Thank you for the clarrification, we use bold text as ...like to "strees a point"

I knew it was something I missing or not seeing.

Thank you again, now I know.

For a planet to produce life as we know it, it would have to be a rocky planet, not made up of gas, like Jupiter. Be close enough to a star so that it is warm enough, but far enough away not to be too hot. Have the correct level of atmosphere, and on and on. The chances of finding such a place are slim, but if one out of a million planets fit this criteria, that leaves many, many planets out there that might possibly have life.

SO true, you said many great points.

To think we unserstand all life is foolish. to think they we are the only life out here, that is just blind. To think we have stopped evolving is self-centered and childish.
