God did NOT create the universe

"Professor Stephen Hawking believes the laws of physics were behind the creation of the universe, not God"

So you will dismiss the existence of GOD based on what this man thinks or believes.

This man cannot give one proof to show that GOD does not exist, whilst GOD has shown his proofs through the horizons and within ourselves. In fact in his final testament to man GOD has made it clear beyond doubt that he does indeed exists and has always been in existence. We now have tangible evidence which proves once and for all the existence of the Almighty. A built in proof of divinity in his scripture.

So I suggest Stephen Hawking to study this miracle for himself and all those who believe with him.

"We will show them our proofs in the horizons, and within themselves, until they realize that this is the truth. Is your Lord not sufficient as a witness of all things?" [Quran 41:53]

"Absolutely, (I swear) by the moon. And the night as it passes. And the morning as it shines. This is one of the great miracles." [Quran 74:32-35]

The miracle of 19!

1. Evolution is as firmly established a scientific fact as the roundness of the Earth.

3. Aren't you an Ahamdi? I thought you guys believe in evolution more so than other Muslims (e.g. you take Adam as a metaphorical character).

Even with the evidence, creationists can still say 'God created all those species in those orders and they didn't evolve'. I don't see how we can disprove that.

You claim not to be religious, and I would hope that you're also a fairly peaceful and happy human being, so isn't it slightly patronizing to assume that people 'need' religion to achieve comfort and goodness if you yourself don't?

I agree that positive and beneficial communities have been built around religion, but they can just as easily be built around a shared admiration for the fascinating and incredible thing that is the natural and scientific world as it is, without needing to impose an almighty creator on it. I would prefer to get my 'spiritual warmth' from a solid foundation of research and knowledge than from an invented philosophical idea which has been and continues to be abused by many (not all) parties.

If you weigh it all out, the 'benefits' of religion can be found in other places, and the dangers are unfortunately considerable.

so you need to be married to love someone and be a father to a child? roflcopter - marriage is just paperwork, nothing more nothing less

I much prefer the idea that my life is random, accidental. It makes me value both my life and the life of other people and organisms more than I ever did when I was an admittedly half-hearted theist. The knowledge of just how infinitesimal the odds were in all the events occurring that lead to my existence is reassuring in some way, affirming of my existence.

Purpose, if it is even necessary for a meaningful existence, is derived from life experiences that shape our views of the world and the actions that we believe we need to take. It has nothing to do with the existence or non-existence of god. Lack of belief in god does not lead to a purposeless, loveless life without meaning. On the contrary, I now know exactly what I want to do with my life (become a research scientist), I know exactly what my life and other life is worth, I know that my time on this earth is finite and there's nothing coming after it, and as such I should make the most of it, I know what my life means. I never knew any of that as a theist.

you may not need a deeper scence of existance but some do, that is why we are all different

"Deep sense of existence"? Who is to say that a scientific explanation cannot provide a deep or deeper comprehension of the world and my place in it than religion?

I look at the incredible, interlinked complexity of the universe and am overcome with a sense of scale and wonder. Knowing that I am living out my fleeting glimpse of life on a tiny rock orbiting a nuclear fireball in the middle of a cluster of over 400 billion similar fireballs slowly orbiting a supermassive black hole, which in turn occupies a position on the expanding frontier of the universe, gives me an unrivalled perspective on the world.

There is incredible beauty in nature and the wider universe, and it's all the more beautiful to me for being a product of processes such as evolution.

Your big problem there is that you a limiting God with time and to having a linear existence through time.

We can't limit God in any way, including limiting him to have a linear existence the same as we have. Time is a big part of this universe and God is outside of that. It's also can explain why he can know everything from all time.

So to say that God created science and then everytrhing acted itself out is not at all what I'm saying. Science appears to act things out in a linear existence, but it's all part of what God has done. To Him it all just IS.
