"I should have been crucified?"

I'll all for religion and all, but this is nuts. First gay marriage is outlawed because the bible defines marriage as 'between a man and a woman', now abortion is illigel in some states, and creationism is being taught in schools. Or 'intelligent design', I'm sorry. What happened to the seperation of church and state? Why is religion coming into politics? I'm all for religion, but how dare they try to pass laws to force their beliefs on me? Or on children in schools- children who are too young to make desisions about such things for themselves. How dare people demand that evolution not be taught in school? There is much more evidence for evolution then there is for creationism! Thousands of years of fossils, or a 2000 year old book. (and, I may add, in one of the gospels that isn't in the standard form of the bible, it talks about jesus fighting dragons. Come on now, thats just silly.)

People need to keep religion in church, and education in schools. Keep religion out of law!

Sorry Read and this might help





The Big Bang has not met the requirements to be classified as a scientific Theory due to lack of supporting evidence. In the scientific community a method is used to produce a step-by-step process to explain an observation. These are the most common steps; Observation, Question, Hypothesis, prediction, experiment, analysis, decision. When an experiment is proven to be 100% reliable it becomes a scientific Law. This method being referred to is known as the Scientific Method. As Antonio Zamora explains ”The scientific method requires that theories be testable. If a theory cannot be tested, it cannot be a scientific theory”. One might reply to this statement, just because scientist haven’t found proof for the big bang doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. In regards to this logic, if scientists produce documented, testable proof using the accepted scientific method, that the Big Bang is possible, then one can claim the Big Bang to be a scientific Theory.
The idea of the Big Bang is described in the textbook The Unity and Diversity of Life “This Incredibly hot, dense state lasted only for an instant. What happened next is known as the Big Bang, a stupendous, nearly instantaneous distribution of matter and energy throughout the universe.” Scientists have yet to create something out of nothing. According to this big bang idea, between 14 and 18 billion years ago, all of the matter in the universe was smashed into a tiny space. This dot spun faster, and faster until it exploded, thus creating the Universe, and everything in it. This claim cannot be proven; observed, or tested by the scientific Laws provided by scientist, at best the Big Bang is a Hypothesis. Scientific Laws hold a much higher authority than a theory, due to the fact that a scientific Law has been proven 100% true, and tested time, and time again. According to Ross E. Koning a college professor at Eastern Connecticut State University “The scientific method is based upon evidence rather than belief. This distinguishes science from faith. A scientist is suitably skeptical of anything but good evidence”.
In the First Law of Thermodynamics: matter cannot be created or destroyed. In the beginning to the Big Bang, there is nothing present to explode, and zero energy to explode it. There are zero observations, or documented test results for spontaneous generation, let alone matter from nothing. Expecting to have matter, and energy just show up, when none is present is like taking an absolutely empty box, and after billions of years, or any other amount of time, expect to open that box, and inside have a operational world in all its complexity. Spontaneous generation something out of nothing, used to support the Big Bang is in direct conflict with the first scientific Law of Thermodynamics.
Lets examine the Second Law of Thermodynamics: Everything tends towards disorder. In the Big Bang we have a huge universe-creating explosion. Nothing orderly has ever come from a random matter explosion of any magnitude. Explosions are anything but orderly, the larger the explosions the more random the matter distributions become. If a person made a claim that thousands of bricks were set in motion by a tornado, which ultimately resulted in the orderly design, and complexity of this Spokane Falls Community College school building, people would think he was crazy. To take the point of complexity a little further, this well-designed school-building students attend is far inferior to the human eyes function; let alone the precision of the planetary orbits.
Another scientific Law is Conservation of angular momentum: According to the definition in Word Book “Objects executing motion around a point possess a quantity called angular momentum. This is an important physical quantity because all experimental evidence indicates that angular momentum is rigorously conserved in our Universe: it can be transferred, but it cannot be created or destroyed”. This spinning ball of matter, which supposedly created the earth, stars, and planets, would all need to spin in the same direction as the single object it exploded from. However their are two planets in our immediate space, Venus, and Uranus that spin backwards. Some planets even have moons that not only spin backwards, but also travel backward around their own planets. Even NASA’s scientists on their website ponder the many differing orbits of planetary bodies in our amazing universe.
Some newly discovered planets follow unusual orbits. Most planets travel around their stars on nearly circular paths, like those of the planets in our solar system. But a planet around the star 16 Cygni B follows an extremely elliptical orbit. It travels farther from its star than the planet Mars does from our sun, and then draws closer to the star than Venus does to our sun. If a planet in our solar system traveled in such an extreme oval, its gravity would disrupt the orbits of the other planets and toss them out of their paths.
The reason for this paper is not to push any agenda, or to now tell you I have all the right answers. The reason for this paper is to examine what we are being told by many mainstream scientists, using their own methods, models, and proven Laws. When using proven scientific evidence, along with scientific Laws in a precise, but simple order, the Big Bang holds no more ground than a belief. There is no supporting evidence to classify the Big Bang as a scientific Theory. Please refer back to the first quote stated by a member of the scientific community ” The scientific method requires that theories be testable. If a theory cannot be tested, it cannot be a scientific Theory”. To me science is evolving, and dynamic. I imagine a student writing a paper 1500 years ago on the flawed theory held that the earth is flat, and being scoffed at by that days mainstream scientific thinkers. True thinkers, and scientist should always be willing to examine what they believe to be true, and why they hold that idea to be true or false. They should also be wiling to fix a mistake if found. Nobody likes to be told what to think, and how to think it, especially when it doesn’t make logical scientific sense.

Muslims, Christians and Jews have same roots of belief i.e. all worship the same God of Abraham so as Muslims believe that Abraham was ordered to go to Mecca and rebuild the Kabba do the Christians and Jews too believe this?

33In any case, I must keep going today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem!
34"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 35Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'[a]"

If coal seams are supposed to be at least 100 million years old, why has carbon 14 been found in coal seams? This testing method means coal seams are thousands of years old, not 100 million years old. Why such a huge discrepancy?

I have a friend who owns a condo overlooking Lake Ontario and she is a successful businesswoman working for the public relations company.

Since I'm a hardworking Christian and I have God and Jesus in my heart will the rewards God is giving me in Heaven be much better than owning a condo overlooking Lake Ontario, going to plenty of rock concerts, owning lots of nice clothes, furniture, stereo equipment, owning a luxury car and going on nice vacations?

I wish that I can get rewarded the same way my friend does and it hurts me that I can't get the rewards my friend gets and I think we should both be rewarded equally for our hard work.

Comparing Christians to the Jews, it seems that Mohammed hated the Jews more. The Quran clearly states:

“Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find theJews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, “We are Christians”: because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.” Surah 5: 82

During his lifetime, Mohammed devoted much of his efforts to get rid of the Jews. He stated. “You (Jews) should know that the earth belongs to Allah and his apostle, and I want to expel you from this land (the Arabian Peninsula), so, if anyone owns property, he is permitted to sell it.” Al-Bukhari vol. 4:392

At that time, there were three Jewish tribes in Medina. Mohammed’s men besieged two of them, the Bani Qaynqa and the Bani-al-Nudair tribes. Their access to food supplies was blocked until they surrendered on Mohammed's terms. His terms for their lives to be spared were that they had to deposit all their belongings at a certain place for distribution among Muslims and then emigrate from Medina.

The third tribe, Bani Qurayza, was not as lucky. During the War of the Trench, Abu Sofyan led a siege against Mohammed’s forces. Afterward, it was alleged that Bani Qurayza agreed to provide help from within to Abu Sofyan's forces. The alleged help never materialized and the siege eventually ended. Nonetheless, Mohammed never forgave them for their willingness to help his enemies.

The Muslims turned against the Bani Qurayza tribe and blocked their streets for twenty-five days. Then the Jewish tribe expressed readiness to accept the surrender terms that had been afforded to the other two Jewish tribes. Their belongings were to be confiscated and they were to be granted safe conduct for their departure from the area10.

Mohammed, however, would not consent to this. Instead he appointed as an arbiter Saad iben Moaz, a man who was known to be on bad terms with Bani Qurayza. Saad ruled that all Bani Qurayza's men should be beheaded, that the women and children should be sold as slaves and that all their property should be divided among the Muslims. Trenches were dug in the bazaar of Medina for disposal of the eight to nine hundred Jewish bodies whom Mohammed and his men had spent the night slaughtering. (See Ibn Hisham: The Prophet's biography; vol. 2 pages 240 & 241).
