We seem to have few, if any, affordable electric cars out now. Most cars out, that the middle class could afford, are uglier than sin in design, and go about 80mph maximum. I guess we could always return to horses for a while until the car companies pull their heads out of their butts...but how long would that take after the last drop of gas falls?

I've heard rumours that there are places in America that still teach this idea of 7 days and a god taking dust out of the ground to build a human, wasn't sure if that was true or not, or just the state of education before 1920

It seems that both the overly religious and the anti-religion crowds think they will come up with the ultimate question (or point) that will either covert us all or turn us all into doubters. Will they ever?

Don't you know that you are proof of the flying spaghetti monster's creation? (that and the DNA shared with the great apes but that would be admitting its an alterate atheist theory promoting evolution and I'd have to phrase the question as Question for non-evolutionists don't you know you are proof of evolution)

first i have to say that quran was revealed to prophet mohammad who couldn`t read or write 1400 years a go in arabia. the spritual and moral content and the devine beauties of the quran is so attractive that most people become muslims because of
the strong love between themselves and the one god(god of ibrahim, jesus,moses and others who is one god and has no partners or son or daughter),
but some people are after proofs , they cant have faith easily, they are after signs
if you are like them,I want to share with you just some of the many many miracles of the quran.
WORD REPETITION IN THE QURAN
keep in mind mind that quran is also the most beautiful text in arabic literarily and it
was impossible to just add or delete words in order to get these balances.
The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur'an and the word "sea" 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qur'an, 32, is 71.111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the Earth today
The statement of "seven heavens" is repeated seven times. "The creation of the heavens (khalq as-samawat)" is also repeated seven times.
"Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month" (shahar) is 12.
The number of repetitions of the words "plant" and "tree" is the same: 26
The word "payment or reward" is repeated 117 times, while the expression "forgiveness" (mughfirah), which is one of the basic morals of the Qur'an, is repeated exactly twice that amount, 234 times.
When we count the word "Say," we find it appears 332 times. We arrive at the same figure when we count the phrase "they said."
The number of times the words, "world" (dunya) and "hereafter" (akhira) are repeated is also the same: 115
The word "satan" (shaitan) is used in the Qur'an 88 times, as is the word "angels" (malaika).
The number of times the words "man" and "woman" are repeated in the Qur'an, 23, is at the same time that of the chromosomes from the egg and sperm in the formation of the human embryo. The total number of human chromosomes is 46; 23 each from the mother and father.
The word "salawat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat) five times a day
*****look at the complete list of word repetitions in the link for mathematical miracles below***

2- Embryology in the Quran link:
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/DailyPrayerEngHTML/EmbryologyInTheQuranEng.htm
3-Holy Quran and The Lowest Part of the Earth
http://inthenameofgod.brinkster.net/HTML%20DailyPrayers/The%20Holy%20Quran%20mentions%20the%20lowest%20part%20of%20the%20earth%20and%20states%20that%20it%20is%20near%20Jerusalem.htm
4-or in the qoran it is said that the universe is ever expanding which has been proven in recent years
5- it said there is cure in eating bee`s honey and it has been proven by doctors that honey has this effect
6-it said that sun and moon are rotating and it has been proven that they are rotating around their axeses
7-it is also mentioned that the earth is egg-shaped, not spherical, a fact which was recently discovered;
8-it also mentioned that the further the light travels in the universe, the weaker it gets, a fact now discovered by the theory of "tired light";
9-it also metions in detail the pulsar stars (al najm al tariq
and many more ....
http://www.harunyahya.com/miracles_of_the_quran_01.php
dont forget that qoran says that christianity and judiasm was from
god too but prophet mohammad was the last prophet for mankind ,who had the
the same message that jesus and moses and abraham and other propohets had.
and that is to worship one god without partners.
*to non-muslims: what do you say about the miracles( they are too many to be coincidenses )?
* to muslims : why do they ignore the clear facts and proofs?
here is a link to some famous scientists point of view a bout the miracles in the quran.

When he could be in Cabo San Lucas? If I were God that's where I would go and stay! I stayed at the Playa Grande Resort and if I were him I would stay there and get an upgraded room.
I actually think that is the most wondrous part of religion is that you believe God could be anywhere but he chooses to be with you. Interesting.
So, How do you feel that God is always with you?

I am not being mean. I am not gay but since so many people get mad because of the word marriage, is there a special word gay people could use instead of marriage. a word that would make it special to them?? just a thouight. no offence intended. please don't be mean. I am not gay, but people can do whatever they want to do . I just thought that the gay marriage could have it's own word instead of marriage to stop the problems.

It is well known that the Muslim women and children in Lebanon are being forced by Hezzbolla to be used as human shields to entice Israel attacks.
So then after the attack they can parade the photos of the dead in front of a willing liberal media in order to make bad publicity against Israel.
Do these women do it willingly or are they being forced against their will?
Either way they are an accomplice to hizzbolla terrorist...therefore should they not be bombed?

It's not you dumb idiots...NEVER is the "beast" referred to as the Antichrist. The word is ONLY used 4 times in the Bible...It clearly states ANYONE who does not believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God is an ANTICHRIST. Actually, the "Beast" wouldn't be considered the Antichrist, because it will know that Jesus is in fact the Son of God. The "Beast" will though, prey upon the Antichrist of the world. I'll personally send $1000 to the first person who can tell me what Book & Chapter of the Bible that says the Antichrist is One person the "beast" who will come to destroy mankind...etc.

For those who do not want to die, scientists and doctors are the best answer. To live a long time, you should eat what is good for you and exercise. To be immortal, you must be born again by having lots of great grand kids, then you will never die. Please give your thoughts and state or country. Thanks!
