Do you believe in God?

NBC this morning had a poll on this question. They had the
highest
number of responses that they have ever had for one of their
polls, and the
Percentage was the same as this:


14% to keep the words, IN God We Trust and God in the Pledge
of Allegiance
86% against.

That is a pretty 'commanding' public response.


Therefore, I have a very hard time understanding why there is
such
A mess about having "In God We Trust" on our money and having
God in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Why is the world catering to this 86%?

AMEN!

If you agree, pass this on , if not, simply delete.


In God We Trust

1. Force of Gravity

We know that before the time of Newton, that great scientific personality, no one was aware of the force of gravity. Newton proved that the falling of objects to earth, the rotation of the moon and the Venus, the motion of the planets, and other instances of attraction are all subject to the single law, the law of universal gravity.


The Quran describes the above mentioned gravitational force as ‘invisible pillars’: “God it is Who raised up the heavenly bodies to invisible pillars .....” (13:2).


In conveying this scientific truth, the Quran has used an expression that is comprehensible for the men of all ages. Are these ‘unseen pillars’, which prevent the planets from colliding with each other or falling, anything other than the mysterious and invisible force of universal gravity, a law to which the Creator of the universe has subjected all of the heavenly bodies?


2. Production of Milk in animals

The Quran describes the factors which give rise to milk in animals in a way that is entirely compatible with the data of modern science.


This is what God’s book has to say: “There is in truth for you a lesson in your animals and flocks. We give you to drink a pure milk derived from that which is contained in their bodies, from the merging of what is held in their intestines with blood. The drinking of that is then made easy for those who drink it.” (16:66).


Dr. Bucaille writes in his book: “From a scientific point of view, physiological notions must be called upon to grasp the meaning of this verse. The substances that ensure the general nutrition of the body come from chemical transformations which occur along the length of the digestive tract. These substances come from the contents of the intestine. On arrival in the intestine at the appropriate stage of chemical transformation, they pass through its wall and towards the systemic circulation (of blood)...... This very precise concept is the result of the discoveries made in the chemistry and physiology of the digestive system. It was totally unknown at the time of the Prophet Muhammad and has been understood only in recent times.”


3. In Pairs

It is only recently that researchers have come aware of insemination in plants and learned that every living being including plants comes into existence as the result of the merging of a male and female parts.

In verses that are totally free of ambiguity, the noble Quran, sets forth clearly the principle of gender in the gender world, together with the existence of male and female parts even in plants. “Do they not look at the earth, where we created the plants in pairs”. (42:7).

All scientific circles in the world today agree that the planets were originally composed of a mass of Sodium gas and that first the heavens and the earth were joined together as a single entity and then they separated from each other. Centuries ago, the Quran referred to this scientific theory.



It says when describing the creation of the heavens: “Then God turned to the creation of the heavens (the planets), when they were but a smoky substance.” (41:11)



“Do the unbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together before we separated them, and that We brought all living things into existence from water? Why do they still not believe in God?” (21:30)



Thus the Quran unveils one of the great mysteries of nature: the planets were originally composed of smoky substance (mass of Sodium gas), and the separation of the planets from a huge object and then their separation from each other. Since at the time of revelation of the Quran, the general level of knowledge and science was extremely low, does this not constitute a proof of the heavenly nature of the Quran?

The Quran has explicitly recorded about what has become of the body of Fir’aun. “This day We save therein your body so that you become a sign for those who come after you. But verily, many among mankind are heedless of our signs......” (10:92).

In this verse, the God's intention of bringing the body of Pharaoh out of water rather than leaving it decaying or being eaten by the sea animals is to give a lesson to future generations.

What is amazing that when the Quran was transmitted to man by the Prophet, the bodies of all the Pharaohs were in their tombs in the Necropolis of Thebes, on the opposite side of the Nile from Luxor. At the time however, absolutely nothing was known of this fact, and it was not until the end of the nineteenth century that they were discovered there.

As the Quran states, the body of the Pharoah (Fir’aun) of the Exodus was in fact rescued: visitors may see him in the Royal Mummies Room of the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. How did the Prophet, who lived in Arabian desert came to know that the body of Fir’aun would be rescued for future generations to learn a lesson?

If your faith isn't blind, isn't it knowledge, not faith?

people have told me that babies and children are "innocent" ie., without sin. They have also stated that babies and children are not charged with sin until they reach the "age of accountability." I do not know where they came up with this "age of accountability" but it is widely taught. In Psalms 51:5 David under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost states: "Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me." Are babies and children under the judgment of God just as any other sinner?

You should not let a sorceress live. (Exodus 22:17 NAB)

Kill Homosexuals
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)

Since religious differences provide a basis for conflict, it appears that adherence to more than one religion (similar to dual citizenship) would provide a basis for broader international cooperation. What do you think?

(International borders largely predict the religion of the inhabitants. Most of the US and Latin America is Christian. Northern Europe has changed from Christian to largely non-religious. Arab and Middle Eastern Countries are Muslim (excepting Israel). Indonesia is Muslim. The Philippines are Catholic. Thailand is Buddhist. Etc. Etc. Etc.)
