[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="Stranger_4"]Doesnt change the "fact" that most of them are atheists and unquestionably biased towards things that lead to no-God.

Maybe desperate is a wrong word, I guess eager?

Stranger_4

They are not making discoveries as a result of being atheists. They are atheists due to their discoveries. Besides, no matter how much you would want that to be true, the discoveries are based on observable data. Scientists do not write down whatever comes to their head and then the rest of the scientic community claps it's hands in joy.

There are studies, evidence, continuous research, results and credibility. And most importantly: will to improve and being more accurate.

Now let's compare that to religious scripture shall we.

Credibility is not yet proven 100%

Religions do not accept new information, that is proven, easily. What does that mean? Oh yeah, that it's beliefs are not based on facts but faith.

Scripture is based on the sayings of people 2000 years ago, even older. Now lets compare the means of media then and now. Do you want to start counting? It would take forever to see those major differences.

But the will to prove God is certainly lacking, this is a major thing, I am not saying that scientists can go on make stories and get away with it, I know it doesnt work that way but you get my point.

And quran is a 100% credible book as it's never been proven wrong.

Yeah, no, the fact that the Qu'ran has not been proven wrong does not make it credible. Just because something has not been proven wrong, does not make it right.

Since I obviously need to be educated :roll: I'll leave it to other users here to answer you. Oh wait, do you think any of us is educated enough? :o Just so that we know and don't bother...

And from what material are those things made from whom we apparantly desended?Stranger_4

Not dirt. The organic materials that most plausibly formed the primitive forms of life formed far before the decomposed organic material that forms modern day soil. Unless of course you mean sand... which then is basically just silicates... very inorganic silicates that are just eroded rocks. And we definitely did not form from rocks.

Ofcourse they are biased. But the thing is that we have critics to judge our sriptures and basically whatever they want to of our religion, but unfortuantely there arent any believing scientists. A normal person cannot get first hand expericne to all those things and it's just not the same way as a believer going there and discovering things.

[QUOTE="T_P_O"]

Okay, the "bible" says that "man" was created from "dirt" and given the "breath of God"

How could anyone believe such a fairy story? It's like the cop out arguments the church always puts out once it's been undermined

Stranger_4

Yes and man was made from clay.

And man is the only being who has the sense of existing and being there and questioning the very reason for being just there. No other specie was breathed God's spirit hence they dont have the sense of existing.

ofcourse animals have a sense of existing. its obvious. the animals respond to real time stimuli and environmental changes. animals like chimpanzee go further and have social methods of behaving! social conduct require a sense of existing and a sense that other individuals exist. :lol:

[QUOTE="MattUD1"] God literally created man from dirt and then a woman from his rib. Evolution does not say that is how man came to be. Literal interpretations of Genesis are shown to be not true with evolution.MattUD1

And evolution does not prove that humans evolved from some other species...

Ok... but where is the evidence that God created man from dirt?

Undoubtedly that came from the way decay looked.

ever been to a museum? there are many great museums where really valuable evidence is put on public display. or just go to uni and do some biology classes. you'll be able to witness some real evidence that way as well. science tries to work with little bias as possible. because bias results make for bad theories. this is why science is so successful. it only embrace that which is observable.

I am really not well versed in chemistry to debate furthur with you on this. However I can tell already that it's not a fact that man wasnt made from dirt, it's just based on assumptions so far.

Anyways read this. I would like to hear your response to that...

Because Fundamentalist Christians take every. single. word. in the Bible literally. Genesis says that God created the world in seven days, ergo it's true. They also believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old. The Bible doesn't actually state this, but apparently there's a method of tracing the lineage of bloodlines in the Bible by some obscure method that no one has been able to prove to me thus far... So in short, Evolution does not fit in with their Young Earth model and hence is false. No if's. No buts. End of story.Red-XIII

I don'tcare how anybody tries to make this truthful in debate, there full it.

There is NO WAY that this planet is only 6000 years old.

I don't think I follow. Perhaps it is the wording that throws me off. You mean how a human body looks when it is (or after it is done) decaying might lead one to suspect that man was literally created from soil?

"ambiguous" is the first word that came to my mind. Anyway I mean when there is not yet a position fully displayed and aim at the parts not explicitely layed out.

My response to that?

*facepalm*

"The era of the jinn comes to a close and a completely different phase begins which intermediates between this phase and the final act of photosynthesis."

Anything that claims jinn as a reality is not credible.

And humanity was not made from dirt. We are formed, like all major modern day forms of animal life, from organic cells that become fused and share genetic material (which contains a vast array of non-silicate, organic chemicals) which then begin to divide and grow. Sexual reproduction brings these cells together and the uterus nourishes and protects it.

I would like you to learn about the formation and growth of a human being before claiming that we came from dirt. We now have an observable, testable, natural and scientific explanation as to how humans form. We also have an observable, testable, natural and scientific explanation as to how humans became humans over many hundreds of thousands of generations.

It would be nice for you to learn about the things you debate against.

Ofcourse they are biased. But the thing is that we have critics to judge our sriptures and basically whatever they want to of our religion, but unfortuantely there arent any believing scientists. A normal person cannot get first hand expericne to all those things and it's just not the same way as a believer going there and discovering things.

Well I dont know whether it's accurate or not but I believe it's accurate to the understanding of man. There doesnt seem any place for bias in there.

But it's just boggles me how something can be proven to be a billion years old, I mean billion, but I am not educated in science so cant say anything more, choose accounting and business from grade 9.

[QUOTE=" foxhound_fox "][QUOTE="Stranger_4"]What does the old testament have to do with quran? Vanadium2k8

Um, the same books that are in the Torah and the Old Testament are in the Quran. The only difference between the Quran and the Bible is that after the Old Testament, it takes a different literary route.

Not really, the Quran asks you to disregard the Old Testament, the New Testament, the Torah and the Bible because it states that they have been edited by humans thus making them unholy.

This is what I don't get. If humans didn't writethe freakin book then who did, I'm guessing it was something that was described in "2000 a Space Odyssy" right?:roll:

If by grade 9 you hadn't heard of geological and radiometric dating methods, I fear your school's curriculum is far below standards.

The Bible never stated that for one thing. You have misunderstood the creation story.LJS9502_basic

Where is the evidence then that two human beings were the progenitors of the entire species?

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]I'm thinking that is it. Bodies disintegrate.

The resemblance to clay was used metaphoricaly I suppose.....

When jumping from one language to another sometimes the word is translated a bit differently. Languages are not 100% translated.

Which do you suppose was the initial form of the phrase "and god made man out of clay and breathed life into him"?

[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"]Of course not, humans aren't made out of apes and no one has claimed that they are.-Sun_Tzu-

But you evolved from ape, cant I evolve from clay?

The straw man is made from straw.

No, -Sun_Tzu-, the correct response is "Straw man is made of straw... :|" :P

[QUOTE="Funky_Llama"][QUOTE="Stranger_4"]Atleast read it!:lol:

I mean you are arguing and then not even reading what someone else provides you in favour of their argument.:|

Stranger_4

If I write a 2000 page book arguing for the existence of fairies, would you 'at least read it'? No. There's a line at which something's patently absurd, and 'man was made out of clay' goes far, far beyond the line.

If that's so absurd then why dont you prove that man wasnt made out of clay?:lol:

I mean it's something physical we have so it shouldnt be hard to disprove...

Look, I touch myself..... no clay! :o See I have observable data that leads me to think I am made out of organic material, and not by lifeless clay. Now you come and tell me "no you are made outof clay". Who should prove his point first?

Burden of proof on claimant. You say it is, you prove it is. We do not have to prove it is not true by the mere fact you have yet to prove it to be true.

Minerals are solid, by definition. Most of the human body is water, which is a liquid. Therefore the human body is not made of clay. :x

[QUOTE="Stranger_4"]I am really not well versed in chemistry to debate furthur with you on this. However I can tell already that it's not a fact that man wasnt made from dirt, it's just based on assumptions so far.

Anyways read this. I would like to hear your response to that...

http://alislam.org/library/books/revelation/part_5_section_4.html

foxhound_fox


My response to that?

*facepalm*

"The era of the jinn comes to a close and a completely different phase begins which intermediates between this phase and the final act of photosynthesis."

Anything that claims jinn as a reality is not credible.

And humanity was not made from dirt. We are formed, like all major modern day forms of animal life, from organic cells that become fused and share genetic material (which contains a vast array of non-silicate, organic chemicals) which then begin to divide and grow. Sexual reproduction brings these cells together and the uterus nourishes and protects it.

I would like you to learn about the formation and growth of a human being before claiming that we came from dirt. We now have an observable, testable, natural and scientific explanation as to how humans form. We also have an observable, testable, natural and scientific explanation as to how humans became humans over many hundreds of thousands of generations.

It would be nice for you to learn about the things you debate against.

The book refers to jinn as bacteria. If only you had just glanced at the jinn chapter, dear God how biased can you be just totally discrediting the whole book on that.:|

We donot know how life started and if it started from clay than the scriptures remain true on the clay thing...and no we dont have concrete information on whether humans evolved from some other creature or not...and I have seen a few documentaries on evolution...I know what I am saying on the humans evolving thing..

I don't know the language dude.: Nonetheless, what the meaning of that is that God created humans.

I wasn't really asking "dude". :P I am just saying that the clay part is not so ambiguous as the "day" in the 6 days of creation for instance where the word day had other meanings too. Anyway I don't even understand if you take it literally or metaphoricaly.

[QUOTE="Stranger_4"]Ofcourse they are biased. But the thing is that we have critics to judge our sriptures and basically whatever they want to of our religion, but unfortuantely there arent any believing scientists. A normal person cannot get first hand expericne to all those things and it's just not the same way as a believer going there and discovering things.

Stranger_4

Do you believe the dating system for fossils is accurate or true?

Well I dont know whether it's accurate or not but I believe it's accurate to the understanding of man. There doesnt seem any place for bias in there.

But it's just boggles me how something can be proven to be a billion years old, I mean billion, but I am not educated in science so cant say anything more, choose accounting and business from grade 9.

How can you be against a subject that you just admitted to not knowing? isn't that incredibly bias. if you are going to assert the existence of something then you need to prove with observable evidence. and no prayer or quran is not observable evidence of a supernatural deity. they are observable evidence of ignorance.

But then doesn't them being symbolic remove all the miracle and wonder of their being specially created by God? And what about Lilith?
