  • why is urdu the official language of Pakistan?

    Why not Shahmuki Punjabi? Why can't that be the official language of Pakistan, urdu is only spoken by mohajirs in Karachi as their mother tongue. Muhajirs in Punjab easily get assimilated into the punjabi speaking culture. Seraiki is not punjabi, but close enough, and same with the numerous Hindko speakers in Northwest frontier.

  • 80% of Pakistanis are Ethnic Indians?

    Punjabis, Sindhis, Balochis, Ethnic Indians, such Pakistanis are Ethncity indian or Indo-Aryan what ever you wanna call it but not by nationality....

    Pashtuns and Balochis of Pakistani nationality? they are as much people the British Empire could get during their campaign into Afghanistan .....

    There's a difference between EThnicity and Nationality, for example Pashtuns to be called collectively even in Pakistan are called "ETHNIC" Afghans.... apart from nationality.

    Does anyone here agree or object?

  • Is God Supernatural or not ?

    yeah, apparently, this is what atheists would argue. They then get to assume that God is supernatural and he's associated with spirits. What exists beyond physical laws is super natural. I resent to this statement as they confuse transcendance with supernatural. We know God is typically present as transcendant, do you think he's also supernatural?

    In Islam, they call supernatural or paranormal as "unseen" and natural, scientific or physical things as "seen" and God was considered seen and unseen at the same time, implying that he's both real as physical and scientific and supernatural and spiritual w/e you get the idea.

  • will we ever be able to shrink people down with technology ?

    It's impossible on the practicle scale to just shoot a shrink ray at somebody so that they become smaller because atoms do not shrink. Instead you would teleport someone to decrease their size by making a machine scafold their initial position, decrease the size and then synthesize them throught the new machine. Such in Willy Wonka, the cowboy kid was shot on camera, his body was flown in particles above the air and he appeared on the television in a smaller size. Pretty much that is what can explain shrinking people down. I guess this is how teleportation would work like, except with no change in size, you have wires that conduct the particles of the person being teleported. It's like E-mail, where our mail is broken into several packets and re-assempled on the other side.

  • are deists monotheists, pantheists or polytheists ?

    Deists are kinda like another level of Atheists except w/e arguments atheists use in contemporary times they'd have much similar arguments. These people have often valued and quoted rationality, science and etc.

    Remember Galileo? Well it was noted that he had a relationship between a group called the Illuminati. Freemasons are kinda like Deists believing in God through Reason and not faith, but how many Gods?

  • is history and paleontology useless?

    because they are something that talk about the Past.

    And the Past is something that's useless and un-worthy.

    People say often "Forget about the past, life move's on".

  • have you ever seen a bum reading a bunch of books?

    From that movie , where Joe Pesci was a hobo living in Harvard university reading books all day.

    Say, is a Bum or any poor person responsible for being poor due to poor decisions (like being a bully in school instead of a nerd) , should we consider that their ultimate justice?

  • How is Eternity possible?

    We live in a Linear time frame, and understand time as a straight line. It's incoherant to assume eternal damnation or bliss when we percieve time as something linear, like a straight line.

    To us, the time of Heaven and Hell would look like an infinitely elongated ***** streching beyond the edge of the universe. Same for God, when assuming that he wasn't created, his existence on our perception of time would be another infinitely long ***** stretching beyond the universe the other way.

    The cosmological argument is an interesting one to ponder about. If we were to assume cyclic time, in it's perception to time, it's incoherent. Look at a circle of domino's. If we were to say time is like a circle, then it makes no sense for the domino scenario, because one has to assume there had to be a first mover to tip the dominos, otherwise the circle of dominos would all be toppled down, or one would be the beggining.

    A cyclic time also falls in linear time in accordance to Eternity. This is because if a circle's circumference was infinity, then a person walking the circle, going one way will never come back where he started.

    Linear time is crucial for Heaven or Hell, cause people will become bored in Heaven and dwellers of Hell will one day adjust with Hell and be used to it, in the Constance of temperature. If Hell fluxated, the pattern would account for the adjustment. If someone in Heaven were to live forever, it is garanteed that the person will eventually have done litterrally everything, even things unimaginable.

    If someone wished for a time machine in Heaven, they can change everything.

  • Is God Magical? Why does he not allow people to practice Magic if he's magical. What is Magic anyways?

    God can do anything. He can make things happen within a blink of an eye.

    Magic is simply things happening for no reason, or anything scientific.

    God is able to do things either in lighting speed (a house popping from thin air) or through time (gradual evolution). It confuses me, if magic is supposed to be believed in this manner, than what else is there that i have to believe?

  • Why does God Forbid Magic when he himself is magical?

    Like, God can do anything, hence omnipotent.

    And if he can make something fall from the sky, then that's considered magic. Magic is something that pops out from random..... right?

  • is law of attraction and law of awareness opposites?

    Cause Law of Attraction states that things you are unaware of don't exist in your world, hence more like solipsism.

    Law of awareness states that things you are unaware of are a counterpart to negative thoughts in law of attraction, thus things you don't know about will have negative affects on you.

    It is like, in Law of Attraction, you have cancer and you are unaware of it, the cancer will go away cause you can't think about what you don't know, but Law of awarness states that cancer will keep on growing while you don't know.

  • Is intelligence how much you can think at once?

    there is this guy named Christopher Langan with an iq of 210 stating that Inteliigence is simply how much you put in your head at once (similar to multitasking) , and moreover how fast you can process your mind. So really, if intelligence is the speed, amount of or how fast about mental proccess, that knowledge is more like "memory" or what is present in someone's head. So by deffinition, knowledge is a belief of something that is true, if an intelligent guy doesn't have a memory of what is true, then that memory is called a conjecture or "imagination" and "falsehood" If someone know's something true, than it's just someone who knows

    **** i can't sort this out. .

  • Is Youtube fixed, do they fix the system?

    I am a person who wants to set up a youtube channel

    the hard thing is , getting enough people to subcribe to me.

    Even when my content is good and significant, i still don't get enough people to see me.

    I witnessed this, there are people who i know are significant but people can't find them.

    The me, I think in the past it was much easier to get more views cause there were less people

    now there are more people and the probability is low for me to earn notability.

    Famous Youtubers like Shane Dawson and NigaHiga take away too many chances for other's to display their style to get attention, or noteworthiness.
