Show a White Adam. The scientific research indicates that human beings began in somewhere Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania, so that would mean the humans were dark skinned.

Species with emotions like humans, cats, dogs, monkeys, etc are believed to have souls but what about species without emotions? like fish or plants?

If a plant or fish has a will to live doesn't that make it have a soul?

Maybe the Cosmos would invite you to leave superstition saying:
1.You shall not have any other gods before The Cosmos.
2. You shall not worship idols.
3. You shall not be a hypocrite.
Defaming God The Cosmos with lies and taking his name in vain shall bring you trouble.
4. Remember to take a rest from work
5. Honor your parents.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not speak lies against people.
10. You shall not be greedy.

Moses did not ascend into heaven, neither did Jesus.
That would contradict prophecies about Jesus.
All people are children of God, Jesus was only the Messiah, who have confirmed that, with His Words , not His Flesh.

Our body is also a self-run machine. In that, there are several systems which controls and activates different functions and particulars of the body. During the process of development in a creature, by means of its will power, it develops different systems and different specialties in itself. It has come to this stage now. Inside the body of human being-bring, lungs, intestines, heart and all are functioned automatically. Only the up-keep of those are in your hand. And, after thousands years of effort only human being could develop such an anatomy of its body. Joy, miseries, fate and new being – everything is based on your ability of their maintenance. According to your will power and deeds, your surroundings get effected. And, with the activities of all the creatures, the creation get influenced whatever we do, according to that only the ‘creation’ get better or get worse. Likewise, the effect on the ‘creation’ ultimately affects us. Harming the creation will result in our own destruction. Our functioning is the function of the creation. Our thinking is the thought of the creation. Every act of us is done by it (God) through us. If a nail is pierced in any part of our body, the whole body feels it. Like that the creation is like a body, and our betterment lies with the betterment of it (creation) as a whole. The coal get transformed in to diamond; like that ,man will get transformed in to ‘God’ or ‘Demon’ one day. Our thought waves effects others. Whatever is there today, it is spread by us only. The next generation will be either of ‘Divinity’ or of ‘demons’ if the thinking level of us contains purity, the generation of ‘Divinity’ will come up, certainly. Otherwise, you can not tolerate a generation of ‘Demons’ later. The creation will reach the verge of destruction. Changes are the law of a world. The coming generation will have these two types of personalities. One s of ‘Divinity’ and other one will be of ‘Evils’ (Demons) Both will be powerful to the extreme level.

The impure mentality will lead to the creation of ‘Demons’ As the neck of the goat is in our clutch today, our necks will be in the clutch of the clutch of the ‘Demons’ then. they will not understand our (human) language. Human being will be helpless that time. They will be slain by those ‘Demons’ and will be eaten by them as well. And, in their law eating of human being will be considered as a gift from nature; as we are feeding on the vegetation and other animals, as animals are feeding on the plants, as the plants are feeding on the earth, as earth feeds on the stones. Everyone is feeding on one another. But, the wish of all of us is that-the next generation coming up must be a better one. This “will power’ of us will so us that day. Isn’t it possible that we all become ‘DEVTAS’ (Divine souls) together? There should not be any Demon, or they should be out numbered by the people filled with ‘Divinity’ To achieve that, we have to become a complete human being first. The animal instincts in us should die down completely. Come, let’s try to be a complete human. If people having strong ‘will power’ to become ‘Demons’ will emerge first, then the black shadow of destruction on this planet will cover the ‘sun’ of development. History will be repeated on this world; it will go through the phage of destruction, and the civilization that is existing today will be wiped out.

The ruins of sindh valley, pyramids of Egypt, Maya civilization of Maxico are the remains of previous civilization flourishing on this planet. Human has lost everything even after reaching to the top. Like that, the radiation from sun, radiation from nuclear weapons may destroy this world again. Not a single species will survive then. Oceans will start bobbling. Sky will turn red. Volcanoes will erupt and earth surface will be covered with ‘lava’. The skin of the sky will be torn apart. Everywhere, only fire will be visible. Melting of the ice in polar region will cause the world to be covered with water. Nothing will be left here. The new life may emerge again only after millions of years. Isn’t it possible that, this civilization will continue to develop without any hindrance, get saved from the destruction, so that the human can rise to the optimum level ? how nice shall we feel then, when will cover the distance between two planets in a minute. The bride will be from Neptune and the bridegroom will be from Earth planet.

Whoever is born will die one day. The life span of germs is in seconds, the insects have it in days or months, animals and human beings have it in years. The life span of a civilization is some thousand years, the planets have some million years of life span, a universe has some thousand million years Universes are produced in the creation, and get destroyed after a certain period. And, this is a continuous process, this can never be stopped.

We all came from Adam and Eve right? And their children reproduced with their own siblings right? So doesn't that make us products of incest?

Many fundamentalist Christians seem to think that the word "theory", in reference to science means that it is a conjecture that lacks substance. They think it is simply an idea with no proof.

Atomic energy, and the science behind it is a theory. We have a "law" of gravity, while it is yet still not nearly understood.

A theory is much more than a conjecture. It is a working model, with substantial backing, and generally accepted as reliable while maintaining the possibility of modification. It's not somebody's pet idea, thrown out without substantiation.

So, why then, do these fundamentalists jump on the word "theory" as if it's something lacking in substance? Certainly scientific "theories" have much more physical evidence substantiating them than do things such as the book of Genesis.

Take the human idea we have of aliens for example. Decades ago we scared the heck out of people with this made up idea of little green men and flying saucers and then suddenly our imagination becomes real. Either demons are real being that incarnate as our figment of our imagination, or eveyone has gone insane. Sure "aliens" exist, but in a mental/spiritual sense. The real aliens don't visit us with a short hideous appearance in ufos, abduct people, and rape them. I believe that if there were real aliens, they would all be a giant unfallen races of human beings that resemble angels.

I welcomed them like brothers. I read the entire book searching for a way to strenghten my faith. I had nothing but good intentions. I never imagined God would reveal the truth. I speak not to glorify myself. I speak what was revealed not my own interpretation.
The abomination of dessolation that Daniel speaks of is the Mormon Church.
If you don't believe me than simply ponder on this: a good heart does good without expecting or benefiting from what it has done.
Mormons leur people in with the "family" sale slogan. You can be with your family in heaven. You can be with your husband in heaven. Wonderful thing to desire. So why do they do what they do? Bargaining with God. I will be good if you give me this. Wait, in fact, you have to give it to me because I've sealed the matrimony. So I will bargain with God.
It's already hard enough to get to heaven. Now, bargaining with a wicked, desireus, selfish heart is not of God............

But,,,,,,don't believe me......read my other

I don't. The not believing is a belief doesn't work, and I don't "belief God doesn't exist", just having no reason to believe he exists I discredit the idea just like the idea that fire, water, air, and earth make up everything. It isn't a belief, just an idea I don't put any weight on. Not having proof for it, I don't believe it, it isn't that I believe that it is not. If better words come to me later I'll try to make it more clear.

Why are we accused of hatred on here when we just disagree?
I disagree with a lot of people (well, ALL) I know at some point.
That doesn't mean I hate them.
We can just agree to disagree.
This forum should be used for debate, thought and open-mindedness.

I want an error free electronic version of the Holy Quran, with original Arabic Texts, accompanied by the three most famous Sunni translations of it. (By Yusuf Ali, M. M. Pickthall, Muhammad Muhsin Khan)

I would like it in PDF format, or MS Word format, so that I can use it off line, and also make a hard copy for my collection.

when the bible says not to have sex before you get married, don't you think that some young christian adults might get married too soon to somebody that may not be the best mate for them?
There has to be a lot of people who, had they not tried to stay chaste for god, would have figured out much earlier that they were too incompatible with that person.
