Are there any prophecies in Islam by Muhammed? If so, did they come true?
6 AnswersRamadan7 years agowould someone of the Islamic faith go to war against ISIS?
For example....if there was an attack on American soil, would American Muslims feel conflicted as to which side to join? I do not intend for this to offend. Just curious

4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality7 years agoAnyone else excited about Affleck playing Batman?
I know there's a lot of haters, but I am excited to see what he does with the role. He was awesome in the Town, a movie that made me a fan of his, and I think he's grown as an actor.
2 AnswersComics & Animation8 years agoDid plants and animals appear at the same time?
Humans and animals must have CO2 from plants to survive...plants must have O2 from humans and animals to survive, so wouldn't that mean they were created at the same time?
2 AnswersBotany8 years agoWhy/how did birds evolve?
It makes no sense to me. The transitional stages make no sense. Partially developed feathers, no fingers, stick skinny legs...etc
3 AnswersBiology8 years agoDoes Reza Aslan really think his book is unbiased?
I don't care if he has 1000 degrees...he is a Muslim writing about Jesus. There are countless Christians with multiple degrees writing about Islam, and no Islamist would trust their writings, and for good reason. Bias!
(I don't agree with orthodox Christianity that Jesus is God, but I do believe he is the "anointed one spoken of in the OT)
4 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoI need a real observable example of a beneficial mutation.....?
A specific mutation that was witnessed in either the fossil records, or in some experiment today. I have seen studies that say a mutation caused something to be more fit, but I can't find explanations or images showing what these mutations are. An example, or link with examples would be great.
Thanks

6 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoAnyone have a specific example of an observed beneficial mutation?
I'm trying to find a specific example of one for a writing assignment, and I can't seem to pinpoint one. There are lots of papers on them, but I can't find one that says what the mutation was. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

16 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoAnyone else miss blockbuster?
All the ones close to me have shut down....now the only way I can find a good movie is to wait 5 million years for one to randomly appear in redbox.
2 AnswersDrama8 years agoWhy do we let violent sex offenders and known child molesters out of prison?
When a violent crime or murder happens, the detectives always check the sex offender registry first......obviously we know that these people are still a threat. I don't think anyone who commits a violent sexual crime or child molestation deserves a second chance with our children or families. Anyone else agree?
The same could be said of murderers and attempted murderers.
7 AnswersPsychology8 years agoYoung earth creationists...can you believe this?
I believe the world and all life was created by God, but I don't see why most creationists claim the bible says our earth is only 8-10,000 yrs old.
In Genesis, the bible doesn't say that God created the earth just before creating man. Here is a literal translation of the Genesis account as provided by Young's Literal Translation.
"In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth -- the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness [is] on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters"
Here the earth is described as already existing, being nothing more than a lifeless wasteland. The bible doesnt say that no life ever existed before. The bible actually says we are living on the "second heaven and earth", which leads me to the assumption that the first heaven and earth(earth and sky) consisted of dinosaurs and all other pre-mankind creatures.
It is obvious to me that the 1st heaven and earth was destroyed for whatever reason, as the fossil records portray, and the second one we now experience was made around 10,000 years ago.
Has anyone else came to this same conclusion?
I haven't found any other creationist groups that understand this. I think having a real biblicially acurate timeline would help all other creatioists understand the events in Genesis. Specifically the difference between things "created" vs "made", which are often seen as one in the same.
8 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoWhy are the muslims so mad?? I have a feeling it has nothing to do with the stupid video?
Any one out there know the real reason??? I'd really like to know. I understand that muslims have a problem with christianity in general because they falsely call God a trinity...but what else are they mad about? I've heard that the US has some very evil foriegn policies, but most Americans have no idea what they are...
I think the excuse that muslims are upset about a video is a distraction from the truth
7 AnswersReligion & Spirituality9 years agoIf evolution is true, then why does the earth appear so young?
Believing the earth to be billions of years old, scientists predicted as they should that the moon would be covered in 20 to 60 miles worth of dust, as the suns ultraviolet rediation would have created about a few ten-thousandths of an inch of dust each year. But what they found was only 3/4 of an inch of dust on average, which would make the earth no more than 10,000 years old.
Also, in the deepest level of Cambrian strata where we find the oldest life forms, such as trilobites....why did non-christian evolutionist William J. Meister discover human foot prints with and on trilobites...foot prints that were not ape like at all...but were actually wearing sandals! (Mr. Meister gave up his belief in evolution after this discovery)
Is there any explanations for this out there? They didn't teach me about this in school...
4 AnswersBiology9 years agoWhy is the word hell in our English bible translation?
When it never appears in the original Greek or Hebrew scriptures....
Also, why did they replace the word Gehenna which Jesus said with the word hell? Wouldn't hell mean something completely different than Gehenna (The valley of Hinnom)....which was a place in Jerusalem.
