What really depresses me soha is that people continue to believe that science is some kind of new God. That science everyday is making our lives better, we are living a better life by doing less through technology living a hedonistic life etc getting fatter, material subsitutes living in this captilist and consumerist society. That science everyday is proving Allah's existence wrong.
The Big Bang was reffered to 1500 years ago by a illiterate man named Mohammed. He also spoke of embryonic birth and the expansion of the universe. How can this be? He could not have travelled time, and he couldn't have made it up because clearly he was never schooled.
Allah's existence is everday being PROVED by science. When Edwin Hubble found that the universe was expanding he didn't know that it was already recorded in the Quran 1500 years ago.
As humans we are only given five senses to understand the world. I wouldn't KNOW that the tree outside existed if i couldn't see, hear, smell or feel it. The same goes for everything else. I mean just because we cant see the millions of electromagnetic waves as well as the millions of neutrinos that happen to pass us before you even started reading this doesn't mean they dont exist. I cant see the x rays or any other waves restricted by our eyes from the spectrum. There are pehaps other senses we dont have.
We cant see Allah because he is beyond our comprehension. He/She/It is not anything we can understand. People clearly want to see Allah. Why cant we look straight into a solar eclipse? It will blind us. This is a creation and people want to see the creator. Can you imagine that? What happend to Musa-allaai-he-wasallum? They demanded proof and they died by a mere shadow. We read Thucydides today and believe that a 50 year grand scale war occured between sparta and athens thousands of years ago. Why is it so hard to read The Quran the same way? All of those things actually happend. Some smart ass sitting in a cave could have never conjured up things like that, particularly if the smart ass didn't know how to read or write (toba anuzubillah).
Read the book by Dan Brown: angels and demons, page 420. I figure since no body here is going to read the full Quran and merely prod and poke at it while bringing in cultural bias fed to them by the media, then mainstream text will do.
I can type it here for anyone who wants to read it.
And to Not that bright, The Christians, Jews, Muslims, Bhuddists ancient Egyptians, ancient greeks, whatever, they all worship/ed the same God. There is only one God. This is fundamental. Bismillah he rahman ne rahim: "There is only one God". When you hear about the egyptians worshipping Amun-Re, do you really think Allah will wipe them all out because they had it wrong? The most influential of all ancient societies? No of course not. (toba anuzibillah).
Furthermore, if God never did exist, then why is the topic on the tips of EVERYONE'S tongues. There are still ancient tribes out there who are so secluded from the modern world, and yet they believe in a higher power. How can they even THINK of that possibility? Its in human nature, it binds us all.
Like Galileo said, Science and religion are working towards a common goal.
