Proof of God

i cant remember who but one of the prophets (AS) asked Allah (swt) what is the least of his mercy on us.. THE LEAST!
and he said, take a breath, that is the least of my mercy!

SUBHANALLAH!!!

:sl:
 
So do you also reject the other humanoid fossils such as Homo Habilis?

And who would fake the Neanderthal fossils?

You lost me... the what?

I heard that one time this scientists glued a monkey skull to a human jaw. Lol, he was creative. I know i'm going to regret saying that, but I thought it was really funny.



What is it with you and SAMs anyway?

I prefered the woman.

I think it looks romantic:).

I too remember seeing that documentry. I think it was all a hoax something about finding the missing link between man and ape.

Scientists have found a lot of humanoid fossils. Homo Habilis is one of them.

Piltdown man.

I think it looks romantic:).

Hmmm, romantic? You know much about Sigmund Freud?

Lol to the last two parts. No idea what that is, please inform me. I really don't know much about this homo habilis so please educate me on that matter too.

OK I deleted the joke about the Mahr. See? - I can learn!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piltdown_man

The so-called Piltdown Man was fragments of a skull and jaw bone collected in the early years of the twentieth century from a gravel pit at Piltdown, a village near Uckfield, in the English county of Sussex. The fragments were claimed by experts of the day to be the fossilised remains of an hitherto unknown form of early man. The latin name Eoanthropus dawsoni was given to the specimen.

The significance of the specimen remained the subject of controversy until it was exposed in 1953 as a forgery, consisting of the lower jaw bone of an ape combined with the skull of a fully developed, modern man. It has been suggested that the forgery was the work of the person said to be its finder, Charles Dawson, after whom it was named. This view is strongly disputed and many other candidates have been proposed as the true creators of the forgery.​

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homo_habilis

Homo habilis «HOH moh HAB uh luhs» ("handy man", "skillful person") is a species of the genus Homo, which lived from approximately 2.5 million to 1.8 million years ago at the beginning of the Pleistocene. The definition of this species is credited to both Mary and Louis Leakey, who found fossils in Tanzania, East Africa, between 1962 and 1964. Homo habilis is arguably the first species of the Homo genus to appear. In its appearance and morphology, H. habilis was the least similar to modern humans of all species to be placed in the genus Homo (except possibly Homo rudolfensis). Homo habilis was short and had disproportionately long arms compared to modern humans, however it had a reduction in the protrusion in the face. It is thought to have descended from a species of australopithecine hominid. Its immediate ancestor may have been the more massive and ape-like, Homo rudolfensis. Homo habilis had a cranial capacity slightly less than half of the size of modern humans. Despite the ape-like morphology of the bodies, H. habilis remains are often accompanied by primitive stone tools (ie. Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania and Lake Turkana, Kenya).​

Have a look at the articles.
 
Wow ok.... thanks for that.
So how are you sure these fossils aren't faked/minterpretted?

I am not sure. It is entirely possible that some fossils are faked. But when several similar fossils are found by different people it become less likely. When they stand up to testing it becomes less likely. Misinterpretation is a more interesting problem but the great thing about science is everyone should have an open mind, everything is open to debate and if the interpretation is wrong, other people will soon come up with another paradigm. This is why Piltdown was accepted - it fit the preconceived ideas of the scientists at the time (basically the British were more evolved than the French). But it was soon shown to be wrong.

It would depend, firstly a "fossil" is prity non descriptive.

Fossil - A remnant or trace of an organism of a past geologic age, such as a skeleton or leaf imprint, embedded and preserved in the earth's crust.

A fly may become fossilised in tree sap and survive a million years or so in pristine condition, fossils also can become deep frozen in the antarctic. relatively young fossils may in the right circumstances fossilise for thousands of years.

Fossils are very rare indeed, this considered you need to bear in mind that 90% of species now extinct have left no trace of thier existence so we will never know what other species have once lived. Further, thier ain't that many people actually looking for them!!!!

"Most" fossils though do not have any biological matter at all, and what once was bone is now hard rock that has the bone shape and texture inprinted onto the stone, dating the rock and the rock around the fossil is how the age of the fossil is determined. The same process of rock being inprinted is also found with leaves etc etc.

Like anything of value, fossil finds can make you rich and similar to the art world fossils have been known to be faked. For fossils of scientific interest, science does now go to extreme lengths to determine the validity of new fossil finds before publishing any work.

Hope this helps..........
 
Greetings and peace to you all,

We have reached 239 posts in this discussion and we seem to be getting dizzy from going round in circles.

I sense that instead of calling this thread ‘proof of God’ we should call it ‘faith in God’ and this would be a better description of how we trust in God.

In the spirit of searching for God

Eric
