    Steven Hawking's idea that the gravity is enough to create the universe out of nothing is not a good idea (with all respect to him) because what is gravity??? it's a law it's not nothing so a law to exist before the universe itself existed in nonsensecal how can a law exist before even matter exist?Huh???
    now as for explaining it let see what something come from nothing is is it normal? or paranormal??


    He does not solely put forward gravity is enough. He talks about QM as well as time and space. You are misrepresenting his views. Read his book the Grand Design. A law in physics is descriptive not prescriptive.

    hahah nice it's good at-least my post didn't turned to be heated as i thought it will currently I'm in college busy so for this year I won't be active after this year sense it's my final year I'll graduate and become an engineer (wish me luck) then i will have much free time to talk to you guys here or you can add me on skype

    again i"m ready to change my beliefs anytime when i'm presented with facts i know just because you are an ex-muslim doesn't mean when you question me you want me to leave islam sometimes i love learning new stuff and I'm quite sure you guys can learn from me

    i have a personal question and anyone here not just you happymurtad  the question is:
    do you think as an atheist that you have superiority over me in IQ and intelligent just because you are an atheist and just because I'm a Muslim do you think that makes me automatically irrational?

    He does not solely put forward gravity is enough. He talks about QM as well as time and space. You are misrepresenting his views. Read his book the Grand Design. A law in physics is descriptive not prescriptive.






    by QM you mean Quantum mechanics??
    Quantum mechanics (QM; also known as quantum physics, or quantum theory) is a fundamental branch of physics which deals with physical phenomena at nanoscopic scales where the action is on the order of the Planck constant. It departs from classical mechanics primarily at the quantum realm of atomic and subatomic length scales. Quantum mechanics provides a mathematical description of much of the dual particle-like and wave-like behavior and interactions of energy and matter. Quantum mechanics provides a substantially useful framework for many features of the modern periodic table of elements including the behavior of atoms during chemical bonding and has played a significant role in the development of many modern technologies.

    you see QM doesn't have much to do with the era pre to the Bigbang it's basically about how atoms are moving in waves

    He said:
    Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing. Spontaneous creation is the reason there is something rather than nothing, why the universe exists, why we exist.The universe didn't need a God to begin; it was quite capable of launching its existence on its own


    so you see i didn't misrepresented him this is straight from his book that you are asking me to read (The Grand Design)

    I just hope to just get a brief overview of your views on how literally you take the Quran.

    So you believe in the truth of the stories about Jesus doing miraculous things like breathing life into clay birds and the flood during Noah's time and whatnot? And whoa there. Slow your horses, that would not be my objection at all. No need to argue with me before I present any objection.

    btw I am impressed by your civility and politeness. It probably is intimidating to be in a forum with so many opposing viewpoints. All respect to you man

    I don't particularly identify as an Atheist, but as I am close to it I would answer a emphatic: "Hell no"

    Atheists can easily be just as irrational and utterly intellectually vapid as theists can be. Theists can be spectacularly intelligent (Isaac Newton, Francis Collins). I just don't think the main reason many people are theists is because of logic and reason, as opposed to many atheist and former religious people are that way because of logic and reason

    Hi Guys My Name is Ahmed i showed up on J&T show many times I'm a Muslim revert from Atheism (Ex-Atheist) this is the first time i join an ex-muslim forms i hope i meet new nice people
    I'm well educated on topics of Islam (i left the religion before) i exist on skype by the name of AhmedZaid9119 feel free to add me just tell me you saw this post and decided to add me i don't accept strangers right away so tell me how you found me
    i want to tell you about me
    I'm a college student studying Computer Technology engineering this is my Final year after that I'll be an engineer ones i graduate wish me luck
    my second hobby after computers is of course studying my religion and find out new stuff i engage with atheists on YouTube under the name of Ahmed Zaid youtube channel (i don't make videos BTW)
    I'm fully ready to leave my faith i left it before i can do it again if i were presented with facts and with logic
    i challenge my faith several times and put it on test to see the result i don't stick to it even if i saw all evidence against it
    i accept evolution although i'm skeptic to it as we know evolution change from time to time you can call me evolutionist but i think it's stupid to label people according to the theory they believe in so? does this means that the people who believe in gravity should be called gravitationist?
    i love have civilized conversation and exchange ideas i'm very open on discussion as i showed several times (lately) on jinn and tonic show and Klingschor himself know me
    i speak Arabic i was born in Iraq so that will give me advantage in understanding my religion (no offence) parrot
    i treat people just like how they treat me
    i have no respect for the likes of Christopher hitches because he support the iraqi war
    i respect other beliefs and i don't hate atheists just some thin headed people like bill maher and thundefoot who generalize
    generalization to me is the worse logical fallacy ones someone commit it i lose all my respect for him/her it happened to thunderfoot and bill maher
    there is so many other things that i would love to let you know about me I'm just new on board and I'm a Muslim
    so thank you guys for your time looking forward for the responses
     thnkyu

    Hello Ahmed, I introduce myself as a Muslim. Background of my life, is from a family that did not care whether I and other siblings. What I mean is, in addition to the six pillars of faith that matter, every Muslim in his life should carry on or do 5 things called pillars of Islam.

    But since childhood I rarely do Solat, Ramadan, and others also, until now been the same. When I was a teenager at the time, I was a womanizer, drinking alcohol, gambling, stealing, fighting, and many others, until I got married I quit all my bad habits. And now my wife and children I had never forced them as Muslims in their lives should carry out or do 5 things called pillars of Islam ...

    Thanks for taking the time out to reply Zaid. Through your fractured grammar it appears your critical faculties are severely damaged at the moment and that you are infected with faith.

    In regard to your replies

    a)

    I never asked about religion of Mormonism. I asked about the objective claim of a Supernatural/paranormal liason. To be 0% you would have to disprove this claim, can you do that considering we can't prove a negative ?

    b) yet again I never mentioned anything about believing as a muslim. Nor did I ask you if you thought Mohammed sincerely believed he saw an angel in that question. You seem to enjoy answering questions not asked of you lol and and answering these questions from a faith lens when I specifically said I'm asking about KNOWLEDGE.  Maybe you aren't understanding what I'm asking as it appears your grasp of the English language is poor. Not a personal attack but is English your 2nd/3rd language?

    c) Personal testimony is not evidence of an objective paranormal claim.  EG if you have  one individual said they they saw a dragon blow fire to burn down a house, this would be laughed as this this is not something which has been observed before. However a if a few people report they saw a house put on fire deliberately as arson by some men, this is very probable because it’s this is something which is happens fairly regularly, it’s been caught on CCTV before and lots of people have been convicted of this crime. It has a NATURALISTIC explanation.
     
    Also what happened before the Big Bang is unknown or even if there was a before or a beginning. The honest answer of what happened prior the Big Bang is "I don't know". When some Theoretical Physicists speculate absolutely the possibilities, that's what it is mere speculation. No Physicist has said they are CERTAIN what happened before the Big Bang , but it appears you are 100% CERTAIN that ALLAH caused the Big Bang ? (correct me if I'm wrong).

    I asked you about supernatural/paranormal claims, I'm baffled as to why you spoke about Astrophysics in your reply to me when I didn't ask you any questions on Astrophysics.

    I’ll ask the question in a clearer way, how would we KNOW (between A)Joseph Smiths claims to  have  seen an angel and B) Mohammeds claims to have seen an angel )which is true and which is untrue? Remember both these claims are mutually irreconcilable. Only one can be true but  both can be untrue and we have no corroborative testimonies of these two individuals seeing  angels apart from the two  individuals making the claim. Furthermore even in Islamic sources it is not claimed that any of Mo's buddies saw a palpable version of the Arch Angel Gabriel speaking to Mohammed.

    SO given the similarity of Joseph's claims and Mohammed  and the fact that no humans apart from the ones making the claim witnessed it why is the huge difference in how convinced you are that these claims are true?

    Also let's for a moment assume that both mohammed and Joseph were being sincere and actually thought they met and spoke to angels. Considering now how we in the 21st century we have developed  and understanding and diagnoses of mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and know that people have disorders(of no fault of their own) where they believe they are hearing and seeing hallucinations and delusions would this not be a naturalistic explanation of what mohammed and Joseph Smith believed they were experiencing/witnessing ? On top of that once people(in recent times) have been given the appropriate medication they have stopped the hallucinations/delusions of interacting with gods/spirits/angels etc.

    I’d be the first to accept paranormalism/supernaturalism if objective evidence was provided of such a mechanism having a role in reality. If one religions supernatural claims was objectively proven to be true I would see it as a very good thing as it would provide the answers to many questions that we don’t know the answers of. Now that you know I'd be willing to change my position, I'm wondering is there anything that would make you revise your belief that islam is true ?

    not really I'm not intimidated it's not like you guys gonna eat me the fact that i'm the only active Muslim in the jinn and tonic show and the only one showed up (well actually there were Muslims who showed up before me) but my point is that lately i'm the only one showing up this means i don't find being surrounded by opposing guys with opposing view intimidating infact quite the opposite i find that if you have someone who has opposing views to you in a conversation makes the conversation much more exciting and productive

    to me in a discussion it's not about who win and who lose it's about gaining info and get to know your opposing side argument so in the future you can be better in presenting your argument

    Read chapter 6 and chapter 8

    do you think as an atheist that you have superiority over me in IQ and intelligent just because you are an atheist and just because I'm a Muslim do you think that makes me automatically irrational?


    Nope. As humans we are incapable of being 100% logical at all times, if we were we would be robots. Emotion overrides logic all the time. We all have emotions regardless of faith. So we can all be irrational. For example I am a fan of the local NHL team yet logically they have little to no chance of winning the Cup this year. Logic dictates I should support a team which will win or has a higher chance of winning the Cup. Yet I support the local team against all logic. It does not mean I am dumb but just not logical. However I do think many confuse logic with their own appeals to emotion but this is not a case of intelligence but of education.

    Read the book. You are attempting to draw a conclusion from a quote from a book on a website. Regardless of who quoted it this always leads to issues.

    You seem like you have your hands full answering all these questions from others but the reason I asked if you take the stories literally is that in my Christian background most Christians seem to think most stories in the Bible are allegorical such as Adam and Eve, Noah, and Jonah.

    Where do you stand on such stories? I know they are found in the Quran to some extent, but are they taken literally? I just want a Muslim perspective rather than the Christian ones I am accustomed to.
