i believe the quran is the word of god and i believe whats in it, and referring to the question, i believe that there is a god.
Question Author
and im a muslim so, yes, i believe the quran, but am currently researching into it more to gain more knowledge.
Sith, that's nonsense. You claim to believe everything in the Koran, but you've gone from disbelief in the monkey and pig thing to neutrality - and since neutrality doesn't equate to belief, it follows that you don't believe everything in the Koran, which is what you indicated in the first place. I suggest you come back on this one when you've done the research you say you're going to do and have actually made your mind up.

considering it is my post i see no reason to leave. i have made my point and there is no changing it as, believe me, i have met atheists, talked to atheists and islam is best for me, so considering all that, youre wasting your time.
Question Author
put it this way, scientists dont know everything yet they have theories. like darwins THEORY is now being taught in schools and talked about like it is a fact, when it is still a THEORY. So i believe in almost everything in the quran, however you can never know everything, ok?
I didn't suggest you leave, Sith, merely that you do your research, as you suggested, and decide what you actually believe, because at the moment you're hopping around - and that tends to be rather confusing.
Question Author
confusing for you. i know what i believe Naomi.
You know what you believe? It doesn't come across that way, Sith.

So you believe 'almost' everything in the koran. That's a very odd thing for a Muslim to admit. It's either the word of God or it isn't - so which is it?

You need to look up the word 'theory'.
@ Sith - You are entitle to believe whatever you want -I would just like you to admit that you continue to believe in the absence of evidence to support your belief - indeed despite firm real world evidence to the contrary.

And stop asserting that your books of verse offer some sort of advanced scientific wisdoms that hold any relevance today. Stop trying to assert bronze age societal values to modern day living and I for one will be happy.
Question Author
ok lazygun, i believe in god, is that simple enough for everyone to understand as that is the question of the title, however we are going of subject. :)
sith you appear to be totally confused as to what you do believe and what you don't believe.

I would be interested to know when you decided to convert to being a Muslim?

Oh, by the way, im sure that you are aware that if you decide the being a Muslim ist the way for you, Allah will expect you to be hunted down and killed!

Your above comment seems to bear out my earlier post.

It is clear that you do not understand the difference between a 'scientific theory' and a general theory. You seem to think that a scientific theory is just a stab in the dark or someone's unqualified opinion. You could not be more wrong nor more ill-informed.

Unfortunately the scientific community has chosen to use the word 'theory' to describe many of its fundamental scientific principals and this has prompted many people (such as yourself) to say, “Well, it's just a theory”. To most people, a theory is an idea which may or may not be true. To a scientist, a theory is something very different indeed. To most people, a 'law' would trump a mere 'theory'. But in scientific terminology, the relationship is the other way around. A scientific law describes what something does, often through the use of equations. The theory then explains WHY this happens.

For example... Isaac Newton described gravitational law as, “... an object will accelerate to earth at 9.81 metres, per second, per second.”. Newton didn't explain why an object is attracted to the centre of the earth; he just worked out that all objects are and applied a mathematical formula to it. It took Einstein and his Theory of Relativity to explain WHY this happens.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution is exactly the same. It explains why animals exhibit the characteristic biological traits they do and explains where they came from. It's a scientific theory that has been in existence for more then 100 years and has never been disproved. The only people who attack it do so out of anger because it suggests that god didn't literally conjure everything we see today into existence in an instant. In fact, Darwin's theory doesn't preclude a god at all.

To dismiss Darwin's Theory of Evolution as a mere 'theory' is to totally misunderstand the scientific method. Darwin's theory is supported by a plethora of diverse evidence from many different scientific disciplines. The amount of evidence for evolution is literally voluminous. Because of this, Darwin's Theory of Evolution can be accurately described as both a scientific theory and a fact.


If you still don't accept the distinction between a scientific theory and a fact then think about this – the reason you can type on your computer and transmit that information over the internet to sites such as the Answer Bank, can be described by Quantum Theory and General Relativity.

But they're 'just' theories right?
Question Author
thats a good answer, at least someone knows how to answer without trying to get funny Mwahahaha! :)
i understand what you mean.
But Sith123, do you agree with Birdie?
Question Author
yes, i agree with the fact that i made a mistake now i understand what theory actually means, but im not changing my religion :)
For Sith123 –

This short video gives a much better explanation than I gave above...

ok
Birdie, Excellent!!
I recall a documentary where Richard Dawkins visited a Muslim faith school (in Leicester I think) and spoke to a 'science' teacher and her students Those students were being taught that mountains were created by Allah to peg the earth down! And this is happening in this country right now!
They actually grow believing this tripe as well lol

I certainly would not want my children being taught such ridiculous lies!
