Scientists to Invent a time-machine in near future...BAD IDEA (OP)
I heard poeple are going to try to build a time machine... but don't u think IF (which i doubt) it works then poeple wouldnt be able to live there life right, there would be people from the past here, poeple from the future... and the biggest thing to help my doubt... The dead... someone would be able to like go back to when someone died in a car accident or something... and stop them from leaving the house before all of that? but allah has written the date and how each one of us has died... so..??
i would want to use it to see rasulallah... but if that dont work then i would only want to see my grandma and grandpa one more time... allah yarham hum...
if this works...(DOOOUBT IT) then i would take a quraan, and go back to any one of the prophets time, bring one of the dear prophets wit me, and show every one there miracles, and proof of there stuff they did... like...hmm...show them adam was the most beautiful man on earth... or show them yunus or someone... and show them islam... thats all...
something out of islam... take ma xbox 360 and with it, the game 'Call of Duty 4' and show the indians what the americans are doing...lol... they be scared tho... and then take all the indians, and let them come to war over here...of course i aint gonna let em fight with there weak lil ....sticks...and spheres..ppHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA..anyway.. then we win war... MUAHHAHAHAHAHA...lol jk.. i go back to before the first person who killed was (qabil) and tell him he reget it, and stop him before he do what he did... otherwise half the sins of each person on earth to kill another person, will go to him...poor qabil...
then go to when bush choke on pretzel...laugh...and leave
You can see air, if you had a corridor of infinite length, eventually you wouldn't be able to see the end because of all the air in the way. Most gases are pretty low in the periodic table, and have a low atomic mass so they are pretty small molecules. Measuring the amount of light absorbed /refracted is a good way of seeing gases/air.
^^^ say what?
i hate those boring huge unormal scientificy boooooring words

Either he's not as omnipotent as he would have us belive, or he's malevolent. Or he just doesn't give a rat's *** about it.
Or maybe the 4th alternative is that He never created this world as a Paradise, rather He gave people a mix of good and bad in this world, and then told the people with good to share their good with others - expecting His reward, and then mankind would live peacefully with each other?
Then those who did good to please Him while believing in His Messengers would be rewarded, while those who disbelieved and did evil would be punished for their evil.

It's infinitely harder being an atheist than being theistic. When i fall on hard times there's no one i can pray to for guidance or help. I'm on my own lol.
On the other hand though, it means i can get off my butt quicker and sort it out rather than waiting for divine intervention.

We do both - we ask for what we need, and then we do what we have the ability to do.

We should concentrate more on trying to get that working down here too

Shouldn't they have it as a more subtle test? Where there's no knowledge of reward? so people do it out of the KINDNESS in their hearts? That would sort out the really good people from the people that don't want to die horribly in the pits of hell. It would be way more efficient.

Surprisingly, there's alot of evil in the world. At a time when atheism is the dominant way of life. agreed? I don't think alot of people want to give charity, most just want to fulfill their own desires instead of sharing.
Hey, we only got one life - so why not live it to the fullest?
Ever heard of that statement before? Believers believe they are responsible for all their actions and what God has given them - so we as believers should be aware of helping those in need.

What's the criteria for being a god?
Besides, from what you said, God can have no creator, and he can't randomly appear by chance either, the two methods that make the most sense, so what's the story behind that?

A God is a being who is perfect - if God is finite - that is also not perfection. God is infinite - that is our belief about Him, and that's why we take Him as a deity and God.

The red is the atheist outlook. What else do we have to work towards?
as for the "This is an atheist world" I must very heartily disagree.

It sets it up very conveniently that he can only exist by telling us that he exists.
If i was god i would be doing this a lot differently.
First of all, i'd carve "GOD EXISTS" on the moon with my powers or something.
and second, kill all the atheists. or not create them in the first place.
and third, Unite everyone under ONE religion instead of telling loads of different prophets different things. Kinda counter productive.
Atheists are a mere 2.35% of the world population!
Atheism is on the increase. Plus, i don't really care what is dominant - since the people giving in charity is a practise which should be observed, no matter who it's from. Since religion promotes it - then that's nothing but good. So hey, that's sufficient as an argument for me.

He doesn't have to, His creation and Him sustaining it for billions of years is sufficient for us to believe that He exists.

No, mankind has the choice - they take their own steps, if they want to be guided - they ask Him sincerely and He guides them. If they don't want to be guided, then that's their own loss.

Try doing the elimination method - which religion is the most followed by humans? If someone says christianity - ok, why do they follow it? Does it make sense? No? Ok, go onto the 2nd biggest. Islam. Does it make sense? It has alot of answers, so go look into its details. Ask for answers.
Like you do the search and elimination process for many different things, do it for religion. Ask for the guidance, ask Him to guide you if He exists. And then walk forward in that direction.
Re: Scientists to Invent a time-machine in near future...BAD IDEA
So ummmm yeah, back on topic. If there were a time machine, I wouldn't use it. Everything happens for a reason. All of the choices I have made in my life, though many have been very unwise, have shaped who I am today. If I were to go back and change something I did when I was 15 could possibly take away my son. That isn't a sacrifice I am willing to make to "fix" something I screwed up.

Atheism is not a way of life and it's not dominant. the dominant force in the developed world these days is materialism (consumerism), which has little to do with atheism but rather with economic development. Therfore - disagreed!
A lot of people give charity, regardless of their (ir)religion. I suppose the people in the west give more charity than the rest of the world combined.

That's what secular humanism is for. Atheist charities aren't too easy to spot because they don't exactly label themselves "Atheist Charities".
You say atheism is on the increase like it's a bad thing It's not the atheists killing religious people (at least not most of the time. Hitler was a catholic and stalin *was* atheist as far as i know but he was just a nutcase.) It's most often religious people killing atheists or other religious people.
Don't get me wrong. Freedom of religion is paramount to successful society...as is political and social freedoms. That means not lynching people because they are a different religion or not religious at all, and not raping and killing women for not wearing the Burkha (sp?) which i've heard happens (apparently) but i'm not sure whether to belive it. It shouldn't be a case of HAVING to cover up women so they don't get raped, it should be that women don't get raped at all.
No masturbation and no sex before marriage is enough to make anyone cranky though heh.

Whether you heard that or not, it's not a part of Islam.

Agreed.

Yeah, and that's something we've discussed lately in past threads. Most of the time its harmful.
Anyway, let's allow the thread to carry on without disturbing it for others. Sorry for the sister who created it.
