look evolution AND christianity have concrete evidence hard enough to denouce both of them. i am currently leaning towards the christian side because i have witnessed myself the truth that god exists,but because it is my testimony i cant present that as evidence so i wont. in this question is
evolution:1.no links between evolutionary stages(specialized evolution is a ludicrous theory o dont feed it to me)2.the chances of it happening:1x 10(to the) 100000000...ect. power(dont feed me the 1/1000000000000000 because if u look at the evidence you will come up with a number soo utterly massive ull be disgusted at thinking it happened(although if the universe were around for infinity the chances of it happening look a little better)3.carbon dating
carbon dating CANNOT give a reading over 50,000 years if u dont believe me look it up
plus when using carbon dating on different parts of the fossil they end up with vastly different times. thus it IS a faulty system
christianity next question

My boyfriend's 30th birthday is coming up. I would like to throw him a surprise party, but unfortunely I don't have the time or money to do so. He's got a lot of friends and co-workers.

So, I'd rather just do something intimate with his immediate family (parents, grandparents, siblings and nieces/nephews) That's about 11 people.

Currently, we do not live together. Where I live now is just not accomdating to that many people (plus, I have 2 roommates-i would not want to displace them for a few hours)

I was thinking about organizing dinner for everyone. I would love to pay, but I don't know if I could afford that.

Is it rude to ask everyone to pay for their own meals? Or should I just save up and buy everyone dinner?

What can I do? Ideas for accomdating a small get together for 11 people?

I do, and don't wish harm on anyone who has wronged me. I also have great friends who are a thousand times better than me and seem to never get annoyed with the world. What does the following say to you? Did you read anything in it you hadn't known before?

"Sixth: Another feature of religious tolerance in Islam is the idea that, where religious differences exist, the followers of various religious traditions should engage one another on a basis of mutual respect and kindness. Islam enjoins Muslims to conduct any dialogue or even disagreement about religious matters in a spirit of gentleness, sensitivity, and good will and never with hostility or violence. Allah says in the Holy Quran:

And dispute ye not with the People of the Book except with means better T.Q., Sura 29, The Spider, verse 46.

Recognizing that Allah, the Lord of all, is the sole Judge and greatest knower, Muslims are encouraged to approach all such discussions with gentleness:

not even the eternal resting place of Virgin Marry is mentioned, what about Jesus himself .. Christians don't even have single similar story about the death of the Christ!!

is it even the real thing (bible) that we hold in our hands today? we even have the six book story & the story of rocking table and choosing the remaining piece!!

no really, what happened to Marry? what about dogma theories?? are they acceptable???

Muhammad had the truth available to him which is the Torah and Gospel we have today. If Muhammad followed the truth then why would he agree with an angel that taught against the word of God? If Muhammad did not agree with the word of God...How could he be a prophet of God? We know that Muhammad did not speak directly to God therfore he would have had to depend on the word of God to know he was hearing from an angel of God and not Satan. Could we have a prophet of God who did not know God?

My two main passions in life are traveling and continuing my education, both very expensive, especially here in the States.

I have health problems so I have my priorities straight, I know money is not everything, i.e. it can buy medication but not health.

But I am just wondering, since money allows for more opportunities, do you think wealthy individuals are more inclined to be happy and live fulfilling lives?

Earlier I was very depressed because I thought people like Dick Cheney and Karl Rove would never have to pay for anything they did, simply because I believed that everyone would go to Heaven (defined in my mind as dimensions). I believed that a person who was evil on earth would still go to Heaven, but to a low dimension, while people who were better would go to higher dimensions. But then I wondered why I believed in demons (which I do, since that's what convinced me to go back to religion), but I didn't believe in any kind of Hell? And then I thought that the whole "Satan's minions" thing was right. There are people who become Satan's minions because they're evil. They crave power and control, and will stomp on all who oppose them. And those people are going to Hell, because why would a just God let them into Heaven? I don't include those who are athiests, unless they're evil, and most of the athiests I know aren't. I don't include anyone else either, unless they're truly evil.

I’m Christian. I’m spiritual but have no religion. I don’t believe in organized religion, because to me it seems to guide people away from the path that they are supposed to be following (like thinking for ones self instead of a group). I also believe it is one of the main reasons for bigotry and hatred in the world. I follow the Ten Commandments as we’re told to in order to learn and live in the best ways possible. I sometimes want my family to be religious but then I quickly change my mind about the whole thing, because I can’t and don’t want to choose. Do you believe God intended for people to have a religion? Do you think in the same manner as I do? Do you think I should have a religion? What else?

I've done lots of research online regarding this debate. Some scholars say that Allah isn't necessarily the same God as in Judaism and Christianity, but actually the supreme moon god that was simply made into the "one true God," hence the moon used as the symbol of Islam.

What do you think? And please, Muslims do not answer this question, because of course you are going to be biased and say it's not true. I want only open minded people to answer.

I do, and not just because the Quran says to, but because I feel it in my soul, too. What is your take on this? Does it say something you did not know?

"Fifth: Islam unequivocally affirms the right of each individual to freedom of thought and religion. If one takes the time to read the Holy Quran and study the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his close followers, one will find that they built a society based on love, lenience, justice and brotherhood. One will also discover that their acceptance of Islam was a result of reasoning, conviction, and satisfaction, not violence, compulsion or oppression. The Holy Quran commands,

Let there be no compulsion in religion, Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. T.Q., Sura 2, The Cow, verse 256.
