[Quranic Reflection]: There shall be no compulsion in the acceptance of religion

[Kitan Etos]

[R00tKiT]

The null hypothesis is the existence of afterlife?

Clearly the meaning of null hypothesis has slipped past him.

In a world where God exists - this is an Islam topic, remember -, afterlife not existing is far more unlikely. Therefore, the null hypothesis is indeed that there is an afterlife.

Time for school now, kids.

The topic being Islam does not make Islam the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis is always that the explanation for something is chance until shown otherwise. It is usually used to determine whether a statistical relationship is significant. Colloquially, it means that you presume something not to be real until evidence sufficient to justify accepting it as real is shown.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Taghut = disbelief

That's false. Taghut' means any object of worship other than God, it's certainly not disbelief per se.

The verse can't be clearer: isn't this identical to the secular rule that prevents the enforcing of belief on anybody?

Islam is literally the last religion one can hope to secularize, it just won't happen.

So much the worse for Islam, then.

We're discussing Qur'anic minutiae here, it's pathetic for anyone to jump in these topics just to show off how much he knows about some statstical concept, especially when we use it colloquially.

There is more freedom when choosing the null hypothesis than what you're implying. It certainly doesn't mean "the explanation for something is chance" because it really depends on the context.

Also, as I said, in a world with God, the default position really is that there is an afterlife.

Maybe you should just avoid using terms you don't understand. That's what I do.


null hy·poth·e·sis
/nəl hīˈpäTHəsəs/
noun
noun: null hypothesis; plural noun: null hypotheses
(in a statistical test) the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between specified populations, any observed difference being due to sampling or experimental error.

Where does this definition say : "The null hypothesis is always that the explanation for something is chance". That's your definition of the null hypothesis.

You should stop accusing people of not understanding something, when you clearly don't yourself.

most cherished beliefs is worse than killing him. If someone mocks beliefs publicly with the intent of causing political distress, he's commiting Fitna', a more serious crime than murder according to the Qur'an.

Again, I deny the existence of a verse who mentions apostasy. I know it's enforced and I know it's there in the Islamic jurisprudence based on an authentic hadith.
And if it is established by a court of Islamic law that it is actual treason (which is extremely complicated to establish and requires incontrovertible proof already) then yes, the punishment is death.

Do you know what is worse than killing?
Promoting for the killing of innocents online like a bitch.
