"Destiny had something else in mind."

What would Plato have said about that?

This feature shows how a film maker's stupidity can express itself in the choice of ridiculous background music just as clearly as in the choice of his words.

@8soccer4life8 i believe there is a God, i dont believe in the scriptures. Religion and God are not the same thing, You can have God without religion, but you cannot have religion without God, meaning God is greater than religion. Providing you are using science as your scripture, you can believe in God. The one question we both want to know, is "how are we aware" "how do we see through our eyes at this current time" "why now?", Religion will NOT answer this, but science eventually will.

@animalnt I am studying it now, I hope to one day show people the truth in the language they understand best. I believe in what I say, but you still doubt the existence of God...I can tell you'r life is difficult at times and at times you feel like you are not happy.

@8soccer4life8 How do you know that monkies looked anything like they did hundreds of thousands of years ago? Is it coincidence that people with dark skin originate from hot climates? And that white people come from colder climates? It's evolution, and that's how we adapt. Our cells evolve to fight viruses, the fruit fly evolves within its own lifespan. If you believe in allah no problem, the problem is the scripture. Allah will understand if you take time off to learn more about science.

@animalnt The word Muslim means submitter, and I have submitted to the Idea of a Allah which is the Arabic word for God. I do not believe their is a son of God, nor do i believe in quantum physics and the idea that things pop into existence. I know that I can not see God, but that is the test, us human beings have been given a mind that is capable of determining and evolving, but other than our mind, our bodies do not evolve into anything else. Why do monkeys still exist evolution is real.

[animalnt]

@8soccer4life8 I dont think you understand, Man theorizes that God exists before he picks up a religious book. The religious book has NOTHING to do with God. God and Religion are two different things. Our existence is the event that had taken place from God, so the more we discover (evolution, dimensions, quantum physics etc) the more we learn about our creator. Science is the guideline and laws of man. You need to change your way of thinking (because you're a muslim it might be hard)

[8soccer4life8]

@animalnt But believing in evolution negates the Idea of a creator God. God is one, God is perfect, God is the creator of all, and to him we return. If you believe in that, then we have no conflict in view-point. God was around forever, and so why discard old texts and holy books when they are sources of great knowledge.

[animalnt]

@8soccer4life8 Im not saying there ISNT a god, but not the type of God we like to relate to in such events as what we see as important or not. Even though dawkins and hitchens convince people there is no God, they are fools for telling people such things. But the other fools are ones that believe the religions we have today that tarnish the existence of God. If you learn science and philosophy, They do not conflict. You can believe in evolution AND God, by discarding old text, we have computers!

@animalnt  You'v got to be kidding me. Sorry animalnt, I will not live in this empire of illusion thinking the universe exploded into existence, that my great grandparents were monkeys, and that Muslims are terrorists.

[animalnt]

@8soccer4life8 well better make the most of it then

[8soccer4life8]

@animalnt that's shallow...
