RE: Time
Like that's a bad thing . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Being 24 again would be nice!

Nothing hurt back then.

Some gearheads on the mustang forum keep saying that if you haven't grown up by the time you're 50, then you don't have to.

To me at least, it is. One of the biggest evidences, too.

Yes. At first -when we're kids-, things are new & interesting, so they move a little bit slow. 
The more we get older, the more we get used to life. We adapt to time, and so it moves faster and faster.

Meeting with the truth head on is never bad. It's not whining, rather it's "acknowledging" a fact.

The young generation might suck sometimes. But some of us can read the signs on you guys; and inherit all that experience.
A bitter experience, but that's the price of imagination.

I find that being born, to find milk in the beasts of our mothers, and an atmosphere that protects our heads from UV rays, then rain as it makes plants grow so we eat.
We are indeed being taken care of.

We are insignificant in comparison to God. He can erase us and make another specie in no time, just like what happened to dinosaurs. But we are being taken care of. God is not human, so I don't know "caring" operates when the context is his.

The concept of immortality in heaven would not make sense though, if we weren't being taken care of.
Thank you, MNMP. I would've invited you to the cake if you were here Smile

RE: Time
What you said to me is basically just the design argument. If we examine nature we see that it is not so perfect. Not as perfect as the Kanafeh I'm you can make for birthdays. I need to make some myself since I can't find it anywhere to buy and I'd love to try it. But that's besides the point.

You don't understand that childbirth is so painful and that hundreds of millions of mothers throughout history have died because Allah made it so dangerous. Sure, the Earth is pretty good. But because the universe is so big I'm positive that there are aliens out there claiming that their planet is perfect and humans wouldn't survive on it without special equipment.

Humans are evolved to cope with life in this planet. The planet was created billions of years before humans. And did you know that the human eye can only see the colour that it does because those are the colours that travel best in the water? An interesting fact I would say.

Further to this, did you know that the majority of human DNA is junk? It's useless. A waste. It does nothing. In fact, there is code to build an entire retrovirus in our DNA. Next you make Dua ask Allah why there are viruses in your DNA.

A book I've been meaning to read is called "The Fallacy of Fine Tuning". It makes that case that our universe could be much better suited fore life. But you have to remember that until other world lines and extra dimensions are proven to exist, this is the only universe we know of.

So we don't know the limits of the dials, if you will, that determine the 'law' of our universe. There may be lots of vacation between universes and we just got lucky due to the sheer amount of universes. And, again, someone living in a different universe could say that their universe is perfectly designed for them.
