requesting for proof itself is a fallacy as one's mind is always bent on what one is willing to believe and what he is not willing to believe. You can't convince a monkey to try sipping VIJU milk no, it's acquainted with BANANA. |

[size=18pt]Ignorance is the problem of atheists. John 1:1 is enough explanation of the existence of God. In the beginning was the WORD. The problem of atheists is their misunderstanding of the biblical definition of God. Any intelligent person who has studied the DNA and genome will not doubt the existence of God. If you want the evidence of God, look at yourself in the mirror. [/size] |

@Afrobasic..u see that anger and curses right there is what I am talking about..why the rage in your tone? Since you believe so much in LOGIC, logically it still doesnt make sense to argue over what does not exist? My Muslem brothers can of course give you a quotation from the quran to prove to you the existence of GOD why not? Seriously dude you never believed in GOD? Perhaps you can share with us your personal experience, and account based on what GOD did to you that made you hate him this much.. |

Well to start with empty your self, which I do not expect to be right away, for it took years for you to embed your mind with the ideology that that there is no GOD, so pls take some time and free yourself from such an ideology and when you are really thirsty and ready to accept the ONE true GOD, it will come to you and you will find peace |

ebamma 3: to the bible believing and allah believing guys in the house, how can you prove to an atheist that God really exist? Tell Him or Her to tune is GoTV, DsTV or whatever to Discovery World and watch it for an hour - if he /she still don't believe there is God, He should tune it to [size=14pt]Nat Geo Wild[/size] and watch it for another one Hour - if he still don't believe there is God ... Ask him to draw anything on a sheet of paper then ask him who drew it .. he will surely say - he did, now ask him how come all those creatures he has been watching just existed without anyone creating them ?? After studying Creatures deeply, only a fool will say there is no God and such person doesn't worth living... 2 Likes |

@Javanian..I do not want to force anything on you..and certainly will not come to you as a witness, muslim, hindu as you want me to..why not put yourself in that state of being really empty and thirsty, then ask in a simple and sincere prayer maybe tonight before you go to bed or whenever you are certain that you are emptied and ready to be filled with the awesome knowledge of the ONE true GOD, that you want him to give you understanding and reveal himself to you and also tell you HIS name, that's what I did and it worked..do that and share with all who posted on this thread,your experience and the name HE said to you, perhaps it already exists on your list of diety above..thanks |

Kayceenaz: My brother,you are utterly mistaken and your assertion,I'm sorry to say this,is an ignorant and gibberish one.For you to say that GOD,which is something,wasn't there in the first place is rather absurd and implausible.Talking about GOD connotes that HE is something,which makes it possible for HIM to be our topic of discussion.Can no thing be talked about? Of course,Not! Existence simply means to exist,and to exist means to be,that is,to be something and not nothing.Saying that God is nothing is tantamount to saying that something is nothing,that is,an existent or existing thing doesn't exist.It is just like saying that you,that is presently reading this comment,is dead and doesn't exist.How does that sound? Absolutely contradictory and irrational,isn't it? You could even slap one for saying that.God,which is something,is eternal,athanatos(cannot die) and the beginning of all beginnings.It would be illogical,unreasonable and a reductio ad absurdum to assert that an eternal,perduring,indestructible,all-perfect,perennial,and permanent being has never been,wasn't and still isn't.In other words,like St Anselem,the renowned philosopher,would say,''GOD is the being than which no greater can be conceived.''HE is the first in the hierachy of being,and that SOMETHING beyond which no other something can be imagined.Referring to a person as good presupposes that there are bad persons from which the good person is distinguished.Hence,the concept 'good' implies the existence of the concept 'bad' and vice-versa,as truth implies falsity.Similarly,if we humans eventually die and go out of existence,then that is an implication that there is a being,who always is,never dies,and goes out of existence because that which makes HIM what HE is,is being;HIS essence is to be.That peculiar being,something,existent,is the ALMIGHTY GOD.Blah,blah,blah..oya enough of the sophistry & philosophical jargon. Just prove it! Prove your God's existence. I mean seriously how hard can that be?& please do NOT refer me to your Jewish book of fables. You should be a lot smarter than that Tobetoe: i hate u 1 Like |

adexsimply: Well..I'm still looking for answers...I'm sure I'll get them, am open-minded, a free-thinker, but none of you guys have been able to convince me QUESTIONS ATHEISTS ASK 1. "Is God pure, good, loving and fair? - If so, then where does evil, hatred and injustice come from?" Answer: Allah tells us that He is Pure, Loving, and absolutely Just in every respect. He says that He is the Best of Judges. He also tells us that the life that we are in is a test. He has created all the things that exist and He has created all that happens as well. There is nothing in this existence except what He has created. He also says in the Quran that He created evil (although He is not evil). He is using this as one of the many tests for us. 2. "Does God really have power of things? - If so, then why does He let people become sick, oppressed and die?" Answer: Oppression is something that Allah forbids for Himself to do to anyone and He hates it when anyone oppresses someone else. He does have absolute power over everything. He allows sickness, disease, death and even oppression so that we can all be tested in what we do. 3. "Can you prove there is a God?" Answer: Can you prove that you exist? Yes, of course you can. You merely use your senses to determine that you can see, hear, feel, smell, taste and you have emotions as well. All of this is a part of your existence. But this is not how we perceive God in Islam. We can look to the things that He has created and the way that He cares for things and sustains us, to know that there is no doubt of His existence. Think about this the next time that you are looking up at the moon or the stars on a clear night; could you drop a drinking glass on the sidewalk and expect that it would hit the ground and on impact it would not shatter, but it would divide up into little small drinking glasses, with iced tea in them? Of course not. And then consider if a tornado came through a junkyard and tore through the old cars; would it leave behind a nice new Mercedes with the engine running and no parts left around? Naturally not. Can a fast food restaurant operate itself without any people there? That's crazy for anyone to even think about. After considering all of the above, how could we look to the universe above us through a telescope or observe the molecules in a microscope and then think that all of this came about as a result of a "big bang" or some "accident?" (see also "Quran" below) 4. "Does God know everything that is going to happen? - Does He have absolute control on the outcome of everything? - If so, how is that fair for us? Where is our free will then?" Answer: Allah Knows everything that will happen. The first thing that He created was the "pen" and He ordered the pen to write. The pen wrote until it had written everything that would happen. And then Allah began to create the universe. All of this was already known to Him before He created it. He does have absolute and total control at all times. There is nothing that happens except that He is in control of if. There is a mistake in the question: "Free Will." Allah alone, has Free Will, He Wills whatever He likes and it will always happen as He wills. We have something called, "Free choice." The difference is that what Allah "Wills" always happens and what we choose may or may not happen. We are not being judged on the outcome of things, we are being judged on our choices. This means that at the core of everything will always be our intentions. Whatever we intended, is what we will have the reward for. Each person will be judged according to what Allah gave them to work with, how they used it and what they intended to do with it. As regards the actual "Judgment Day" - Allah tells us that everything we are doing is being recorded and not a single tiny thing escapes from this record. Even an atom's weight of good will be seen on the Day of Judgment and even a single atom's weight of evil will be seen too. The one who will bring the evidences against us will be ourselves. Our ears, tongue, eyes and all of our bodies will begin to testify against us in front of Allah on the Day of Judgment. None will be oppressed on that Day, none will be falsely accused. He could have put everyone in their respective places from the very beginning, but the people would complain as to why they were thrown in Hell without being given a chance. This life is exactly that; a chance to prove to ourselves who we really are 1 Like |

you can hardly convince them cos they believe they have enough understanding. Allah (God) spoke of this in the Qu'ran thus: "Read in the name of your Lord who created." "Who created man from a clot of blood". "Read! Your Lord is the most generous". "Who taught by the pen". "Taught the human what he(human) did not know". "Indeed, surely the human is very insolent". "That he(human) sees himself sufficed". "Indeed to your lord is the returning." Am sure d christian folks will have also have something pertaining to this. |

Even his customers started to give interest in his sily pooms and talks. And there was this day,as usual his saloon was full to capacity and he was doing his job at d same time telling every tom,dick and harry dat dia is no creator,and then dis young man step into d saloon, and on hearing of d argument on ground,he tried so hard to look for something or how he should prove to d mr barber dat dia is a God,. then dis young man discovered dat d barber was winning d argumen,all his customers began hailing d barber.. D young man then left d saloon feeling heartbroken dat he was not able to give a proof dat God existed.. Walking so lonley on d road to his house, he found a young man carrying a very bushy hair,so uncut,and immediately a idea came to him, so he returned to d barber's shop and went straight to d barber and said ,i now believe dat there is no Barber in this world and am going to prove it to u now, and d Barber laughed and said,I AM THE BARBER,if u don't come to me, then i will not be able to cut ur hair and so it remains uncut, and d young said ,when i first walked into dis place, i saw u leading an argument ,saying dat God never existed,but then i looked for a way to make u understand,but couldn't find any and so i forgot about d hair i came to cut and went home,and on my way home i saw a boy carrying a very bushy hair and now i have come to tell u THAT IS GOD,WHO CREATED D HEAVENS AND D EARTH AND IT IS U WHO HAS FAILED TO GO TO HIM,AND TO SEEK HIS PRESENCE,BUT U CHOOSED NEVER TO.

"If God created everything - then who created God?" Answer: According to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are: A) The First - (Al-Awal) B) The Last - (Al Akhir) C) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad) He always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way. |

Let's start from here. Who created the Creator? Who created the Creator that created the Creator? Let's continue..... Who created the Creator that created the Creator that created the Creator? .....If we continue, we will realize that at one point, we will have to have an uncreated Creator. There must be a beginning. If you bring in the theory of evolution, where did the first living organism come from? It must have a beginning. Though it does not make sense to me that i evolved from a monkey. We should have evolved to aliens by now.
