So I should do what it says in a 2000 year old book because you think there's a tiny correlation between that book and reality?
Quote:Quran is little more than 1,400 years old not more than 2,000 years old. If you are reluctant to follow Quran, just because it is 1,400 years old scripture, then what do you think about the work of these people?
Indeed Islam is a "new kid on the block" a late comer. So why not follow an ever younger church Mormonism or scientology, they are so fresh they still have that new bullshit smell.

Wrong.
We accept things that can be proven. Gods are a rather childish concept that has no evidence to support it.
Provide scientifically verified evidence and well evaluate it.

A recent development.
In the past the fashion was for a pantheon of gods.
To be honest I would be inclined to find gods a credible possibility if there more than one.
I see the q's in Star trek as the sort of thing I mean.

Being an atheist is (by default) making no claims at all. No claims. Not a single one.
Quote:That means you are not claiming, “There is no God,” yet you are an atheist. Interesting!
Again the misunderstanding of what an atheist is.
You say "there is a god" we say "I don't believe you" this does not mean we believe there isn't a god it just means we are unconvinced.
There is a cat in my garden now.
Do you believe me?
I have given no clue as to whether there is or isn't a cat in my garden.
But there might be.
IS THIS SINKING IN YET?
Quote:It is an amazing fact that nearly all atheists blindly follow the idea that mind is the function of brain but not a single person knows how brain actually function.
ARE YOU FROM THE PAST?

Quote:Can you (atheist trust science) believe that “the complex beast” is the product of blind, unguided, process and “new complex beasts” are appearing in the world in millions every day, randomly, by chance, and without any governing laws. It is a total balderdash and absolute nonsense.
Your ignorance does not negate the fact that evolution is a thing that is proven. IT IS A FACT and affects the mind/brain just as much as it effects anything else.

What do you mean?

Oh for fuck sake.
