Co-joined Twins.

[vivandorron]

I have just finished watching on TV a programme about twins that are joined by their heads and cannot be separated.

Is there any ABer who is going to say that their existence is God given.

How could they not?..I think the old 'sins of the fathers' clause is usually invoked here.

This is interesting. We’ve had discussions here on the Koran’s teaching on embryology. According to that, an angel forms the embryo in the womb and Allah decides upon its gender. In the case of conjoined twins I have never received a satisfactory explanation of the angel’s terrible mistake, or of Allah’s failure to rectify it.

Puts it all in perspective really. Sometimes life sucks, no-one to blame.

[naomi24]

Still no explanation then?

[vivandorron]

I can appreciate non-believers refraining from commenting because there can only be one response.."No". However, those who believe in God, haven't even attempted to offer an explanation for tragic accidents of birth.

Incidentally, I completely ignored the first poster's offensive remarks; which have been removed. The second item to be removed would appear to have been someone advertising within AB.

If you wish.

"Their existence is God given."

[vivandorron]

Thanks O_G for positively and literally answering my question. But do you really believe what you have said.?

Ron.

[vivandorron]

God's messengers have certainly gone to ground.

Nevertheless,I appreciate the comments which have been made in this thread.

I'd go as far as to say I don't think any mortal's distress over their condition nullifies the belief of God willing it. One can see the problems, but in a reality which may be greater than we realise one can not know the full affect of such an experience on the souls of those afflicted.

Are we not allowed to call them Siamese twins any more?

[douglas9401]

Maybe if they're born in Thailand Mike.

[mike11111]

Just asked. Would hate to upset the PC brigade!!!

[naomi24]

The original Siamese Twins .....

We've moved on since then.

[douglas9401]

So did they Naomi, going on to invent the sand-trap that bears their name to this day.

Are there and co-joined twins where one is religious and one is an atheist ?
I believe I heard of a case where one was teetotal but the other was an alcoholic !

[vivandorron]

Mike....Do you always have to be rude and offensive.? I might as well tell folk that it was your posting that was removed at the start of this thread; despite my having ignored your silly remarks.

Ron.

Thanks to all of you who have responded and whose postings have remained in this thread.
