Empirical evidence cannot prove something spiritual and unseen. Although there is empirical evidence in a way by the nature of how we receive praise value by doing praiseworthy deeds, and this is proof of a soul and one who takes the soul into account and makes it inherit it's actions. The blessings received from goodness is also a proof of God and his light and his lordship on humanity. We all believe people can become more good or more evil by their actions. But you have to reflect. The nature of praise and morality is such that it has an eternal basis and in a way is in itself part eternal. This all empirical evidence but it takes the eyes of the soul to see. But we all see this. So it takes reflection of what we acknowledge and see. The nature of blessings is they come from the heavenly realms and descend upon us. The ultimate origin is from the highest realm which is God. The nature of blessings is observable by the heart. Love itself is a sacred thing, that has origin in higher reality. All this observable, but, if we want to say "physical evidence only", then that is illogical. God himself is not a physical being, but a spiritual being, and our link to him and our knowledge of him, is a spiritual thing.
Quote:2. You don't need to be smart to be wise. How is god wise? again prove god exists.Understanding and wisdom you don't need to have a high IQ I agree. But this is irrelevant. The question is not why God is Wise. The question is why is wisdom praiseworthy and great. Why is it in a honor. And for that, you will know it's because God is Wise.
Quote:3. really now? Last time i checked if someone speaks out against Islam said person head would be on a pike.
This is contradicted by clear verses of Quran. This is part of what Satanic forces have cast upon the religion distorting it, and people ignoring clear proofs from God both proven by reason and verified by the light in the Quran in clear verses forbidding such a thing.
Quote:4. Again no if they are supposed great leaders for humanity why is it there is other religions for the most part coexisting peacefully except the Abrahamic ones.This due to our disobedience to God's guidance and clear verses, not to his teachings. The fault is with the people, and not with God and his guidance.
Quote:7. god when ever he guides his servants they end up killing people for the most part.
You'll have to elaborate on that. I think when God guides his servants, they have honor to defend themselves against oppressors but would never murder innocents.
Quote:8. Again islam is a fairly new Abrahamic religion. christianity, judaism are both older.
What's your point?
