-According to the Koran, did Allah create Adam and Eve naked?
-If the answer to the question above is yes, then after eating the fruit, were Adam and Eve clothed? If yes, then by who? Allah or themselves and for what reason?
If you have read the Bible, then you know the answers according to the Judeo-Christian perspective. I just want to know according Islam.
Thanks.

I was at a restaurant and a guy started screaming at the shift supervisor -- a girl about 25. He wanted breakfast but they had stopped serving that and were serving lunch. He yelled and yelled -- she kept apologizing and trying to reason with the guy but he wouldn't listen to reason. She tried to walk away but he followed her. The girl obviously needed help... All the men in the place kept their heads down and concentrated on their food. Finally I'd had enough and I stood up and told the guy to leave her alone. Then several other WOMEN stood up and said the same thing. Confronted with so many, the guy left.

The men never did ANYTHING. I dunno, maybe if the guy had been confronted by another man he would have gotten more violent, maybe it was best this way ... but I was pretty disgusted with the men, just the same!

SHOULDN'T a guy have stood up to help this poor girl?

I'm just curious as to what sort of religious types are logging on right now, from which continents. Anybody mine answering and telling me what and where you are?

Yes, this goes for nontheists too. I'm curious to see how well Christian North America/Atheist Europe/Muslim Asia pans out.

In all versions of the Bible it says that if a person falls away they can't come back. Now why would it state that if it were not possible? (And yes it's talking about CHRISTIANS who truly did have faith and were once "saved.")

(Hebrews 6:4-6 KJV) For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, [5] And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, [6] If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

I must note, though, that this is talking about complete and utter apostasy. It means the individual has abandoned the faith and will never come back. His heart is hardened because he knew the truth by the power of the Holy Ghost and then rejected it with his eyes open to the truth of it. For those of us who don't fall into this category we can still repent of our sins.

I am looking for a soldier in iraq to adopt and send a care package to. Does anyone have a program or someone I can send something to? All I need is a person and an address.

What religion do you think is better? I have went to both and I am leaning more toward the Catholic side as being better. More people that I know that are Babtist like to judge people and say who is and who is not going to hell. One rule I believe is good to follow is never go to a church that tells you who is going to go to hell. They don't know and they can not make that decision. I think it is a scare tatic to try to get you into there church. Catholics worldwide are about 20 times more bigger then Babtist are. I don't want to be critical of Babtist just the ones who are like the people who are the Christian Right.

We've found fossils and stuff that prove that they existed...so where do they fit in? If adam and eve were fully human when they came to the earth as the first people, then were the cavemen completely separate? And the book of mormon doesnt mention any T-Rexes or anything...how do you explain these 2 descoveries?

This bothers me a lot -- it is a recurring problem
Occasionally in group settings (work, class, meetings, social functions) people bring in treats or snacks, or hand out gift bags etc. Numerous times everyone else in the group got a bag or something, and then when I act like a normal employee the person giving them out gets real angry and usually says something along the lines of "these are for the good people" or "THESE ARE NOT FOR YOU" and it would catch me off guard. I mean if it is a "work party" you'd think every worker would be allowed to drink the punch. But a dozen times or so I've been yelled at for participating in these so called 'group' activities. So from now on I refuse to eat at parties or let people give me things since I view it as a trap. I seem to offend people by doing this as well. I feel bad either way. Regardless what I do people will get mad. I don't have any enemies, and its not like I hog food or eat before anyone else...
I don't understand! Help!

We Muslims are making Christian generations colorful. The Christians women are divorced are in excessive in quantity than men and as well as the number of available women rises due to abundance of gays movements. We Muslims are allowed polygamy. We are marrying these excess woman population and making them house wives. Obviously it is respectable to make a woman queen of home instead of freeing them to become public property. We feel sorry when we see any woman becomes public property due to scarcity of males in western society. There are 7 millions women more than men in single America. There are 25 million gays in America. Behold, if marriage market is super saturated and every one man has one wife there will be 32 million women which will have no man to marry. Now there are two solutions of this problem. Either they become public property as Christianity does not allow polygamy. Otherwise follow Islam, and get marry to already man(polygamy). What is good solution?

Seriously, people have recorded a lot of various evidence for God's existence on Y! Answers, but it never makes a dent. The same atheists are still here denying that any evidence exists. Do you not read the answers at all?

It's just awful. Especially when people start getting uncomfortable and you hear them shuffling around. I'm glad these churches are going bankrupt.

Many atheists laugh at the religious people for believing in God because they say there is no proof that God created the world yet they are just as willing to follow theories that are equally at a loss to explain how the universe came into being. Why is it so easy to believe that matter just popped into existance out of nowhere yet the idea that a being such as God existing is so hard to believe? If you have a universe just creating things out of nothing, why wouldn't it create something or someone like God? Even people that believe the big bang theory can't explain where that original ball of material came from.
