Hadiths and deceivers.

[WinterHold]

You realize that the same process was used to create magic book...don't you.....?

I take the Quran to be a special case, and accept the "leap of faith". I publicly admit it: I believed in the book due to the design of the universe, then the deeds it advocates -including charity, respecting others and defend one's self, family and friends, prohibition of pedophilia...etc-.

I won't claim that there is an evidence but that. To me personally; that is enough for me to believe:

Sura 51, The Quran:
 ( 17 )   They used to sleep but little of the night,
( 18 )   And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
( 19 )   And from their properties was [given] the right of the [needy] petitioner and the deprived.
( 20 )   And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith]
( 21 )   And in yourselves. Then will you not see?

Heck; the universe is full of signs. If somebody saw the skies and what in the earth and still didn't think that there is an even slight chance that there is a God, then I will tell them to look again and again.

So the argument from design is what I favor when I speak about God. Nobody will see the angels in this life. There are already huge things out there; NASA's website is enough for us to see that God exists in my perspective. Even at ancient times, observing the environment -even today- is enough to see the hand of God shaping everything.

But that is not what humans usually want, usually humans want a show; they want headless knights with serpents and dragons flying above, and a huge monster with one-eye roaring. Outer space is boring. The Lord Of The Rings is exciting.
