Religion & Spirituality - 4 November 2006

The Qur'an told about the giant camel which was sent to Thamud as a test for them and their prophet Saleh:
"Salih. said, "Here is a she-camel. One day will be for her to drink, and one day for you all to take water. Do not at all molest her; otherwise you will be overtaken by the torment of a dreadful day. ". Yet they hamstrung her, and then became regretful, for the torment overtook them." "26:155-158"
People were asking: Why does the Qur'an tell about creatures that never existed as we know?
But now we know that the giant camel existed.

I need some help with a question that has been bothering me, here it is:

God created the world and everything in it, and then he made the Jews the chosen people and delivered them from slavery and out of Egypt to the holy land. God gave Isreal all sorts of holy prophets and other religious holy men, everything in the bible take place in the middle east.

While this was going on, when God was speaking to Moses and had him write the Torah, what were the chinese doing? why did God never even speak of them let alone to them? how come God never revealed his words to the chinese? why did he only talk to the arabic countries?

This is a serious question, I think I might be losing my religion and I need real answers.

is science a gift from god to help man understand and function easier in the universe, if so why does religion think there is conflict with science ,is it more godly to study his creation through science rather than from ancient books

Do you all just believe what you want? Martin Luther just made up some stuff and took out what he didn't like, started a new denomination and now everybody believes in that?
Kinda sad! It seems as though that everybody starts off with the catholic church, takes out what they don'y like about it and start a new church! Baptists, Methodist, Lutherans, Protestants etc.
are just trying to make things easier on themselves when in reality they are just ignoring the real facts.

I am a Catholic Christian, and I admire very much those who humbly & honestly bring the word of God to others, Billy Graham I believe is one of these, in a televised interview he was asked the question, why does God allow suffering, and he gently replied,`I do not know`.
what humility to say this on T.V where he risked looking foolish, do you think that we go a little too far sometimes trying to answer God`s great mysteries, and feel we have to have an answer all the time?
Thank you.

No offense, but the dead are dead! You can't do anything for their soul once they're gone.

The bible says stay away from things which are not of God but do you think in order to refute other beliefs you should have a basis for making argument against what they believe?

When I look at the picture. I see that all they saw was what they felt. they did not hve faith enough to give their prayers wings to rise above what their eyes and ears and body were going through.because they faced death they had no faith for their prayers to leave the encasement of that tomb.

about certain laws you can get many different answers and perspectives?

Whereas in christianity for example, if wanna ask something, you get a fairly straight answer. Like for catholics a woman can't preside over the sacrement (which i disagree with)
Or in the anglican church, you will get a straight answer on the legitimacy of popes, etc.

i was listening to a radio program on the subject, and it was said. the (priest, cleric, whatever,) will often refer you on to someone else. for the answer.

I am not being disrespectful or anything like that, but would geuinely like to know the answer.
According to the Quran 112:3, never did he beget (God), neither was he begotten.
Assuming you believe that he created us, how is this so, if he doesn't beget??
