Quote:Sure, if you have a sound epistemology and lack data - I suspect it is the exact opposite, you have an incoherent epistemology and the same data we do.
any creature will need epistemology to prove his point- as creatures are limited with knowledge, unlike the creator. I believe I have a sound epistemology and some very important data that you may lack. I will clarify below.
Quote:Please, do present us with a rational argument for theism.
"something comes out of something and nothing comes out of nothing"
this means that for something to exist, something must have existed all the time, powerful enough to need no beginning. it cannot be anything natural, but it has to be an all powerful God, my dear.
Quote:Which is what exactly?I solely believe in Quran (word of God) as the only guidance. Most Muslims believe in man-made hadiths, which to me, clearly contradicts the Quran. They also misinterpret the Quran to justify their false beliefs- which end of the day is presented to you and that's how you wrongly perceive Islam.
How old do you think the earth is?
Do apostates go to hell?
etc.
Good question, I believe the earth is app. 4.5 billion years old like most Muslims do as it is more coherent with Quran, and also is what modern science tells.
Not only apostates but most of the people will go to hell, including most of the Muslims. If this sounds unfair to you, then ask me to clarify...
Quote:What evidence?
God has put his signature in the Quran, that is the mathematical miracle of 19.(http://submission.org/quran/app1.html) And also many scientific miracles.
Quote:Why do you believe this?"
Quote:
Because it says so in Quran. I already mentioned why I have to believe the Quran. Men corrupted Christianity to something Jesus never preached.
[5:72] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship GOD; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside GOD, GOD has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers.
[5:73] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is a third of a trinity. There is no god except the one god. Unless they refrain from saying this, those who disbelieve among them will incur a painful retribution.
