Quran 31:10 “He created the heavens without any pillars that ye can see; He set on the earth mountains standing firm, LEST IT SHOULD SHAKE WITH YOU; and He scattered through it beasts of all kinds. We send down rain from the sky, and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs.” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/031.qmt.html#031.010

Unfortunately, the earth does shake so, if Allah did create mountains to prevent the earth from shaking, he did a horrible job. Mountains themselves shake plenty, and when they do, avalanches or falling rick or exploding volcanoes can result.

Needless to say, this verse in the Quran is false, and stupid, even by the standards of ignorant desert people back in Muhammad's time.

"and produce on the earth every kind of noble creature, in pairs". Sorry, thats false as well because there are 'some kinds' of creatures that are 'produced' asexually. Some lizard species. Some bee species. No pairs.

Isn't it a pretty cruel joke to create human life and not let them know why they were created in the first place, other than to satifisfy this supreme being's huge ego?

You know I saw a woman (Lebanese Christian) on CNN saying thank you to Israel for fighting against them.

She said that they were and are terrorizing Christians and moderate Muslims in Lebanon.

Did you see that?

Wow, in my last question I only stated a fact that studies have been conducted. I was not assuming results were valid or not. ALL the studies see a negative correlation. I did not recieve one intelligent, rational answer from anyone religious. Only the Atheists could give subjective answers. Doesn't this say something? Sigh............

i know both believe in one god and they are considered to be the same god. and as i understand it they are both in the same family of religions so for what reasons did the two religions divide from each other?

English seems to be the exceptional case but other languages I know of engender nouns as feminine and masculine and the assignment of gender is not consistent from language to language.

A German table is masculine while the same table in French is feminine.

I saw someone write, "Oh geez, I've never seen THAT one before," about why no one has come back from Heaven to testify about it's greatness.

Did it really sink in?

Well, I want to. I was born and raised in the military, and then married into it. I have ALWAYS wanted a dog, but not as a yard ornament, as a member of the family. In sept. my Husband and I bought our first home. (we are close to 50 yrs) So, Today, I got an early christmas present. I was so surprised, I didn't know he was getting Me this dog, though he knew I wanted one. He rescued him from the pound. He is border collie, black lab mix, and he is so sweet. He is 4 1/2 months old. He has a white nose, 4 paws are white, and the tip of his tail is white, the rest black. It is by far, THE MOST WONDERFUL GIFT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. I know this isn't a question, so you can give me a thumbs down, its ok, nothing will dampen my excitement. I had to share my happiness with the world!!! I hope everyones christmas is as fulfilled as mine has been. I feel like finally, our family is complete.
