You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Welcome to the return of the dark ages
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!

Hmm, in the 50s and 60s we imported all those workers from Turkey. Maybe now we can import all their scientists. Muaha
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Yesterday; I was "Samuraized".
Ha   ha   ha.
Lord "Nobonaga" had an "Oda" which took us to a debate that ended with the Samurai attempt. I just don't like "Oda"s.

Seriously though; I think evolution is quite believable, even if an Islamic belief was present. The creation of "Adam" included the following verse:

Quote:Sura 15, Page 263, The Quran:
( 26 )   And We did certainly create man out of clay from an altered black mud.
( 27 )   And the jinn We created before from scorching fire.
( 28 )   And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "I will create a human being out of clay from an altered black mud.
( 29 )   And when I have proportioned him and breathed into him of My [created] soul, then fall down to him in prostration."

The proportioning and the breathing of soul are not defined or known in detail: they can take billions of years, millions, nobody knows but God.

It's quite strange and also rash to immediately claim full knowledge of both of these processes. Eventually; one might be in serious trouble if Evolution was how God made man, generation after generation.

So in Turkey evolution is now BS but the belief in golems is encouraged. That will be a good place for the giant asteroid to hit.

Turkey can now join the U.S. as a country that will not be producing the next generation of important scientists.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
