Creationism and evolution ARE NOT mutually exclusive (except for humans of course)! Why is it so hard to believe that during the periods of creation God used evolution to create all animals. Obviously he knew what he was doing, he had to have created the dino's during creation, knowing we would need the reserves for energy later.
Humans are the exception, obvious by the extreme intelligence we possess in relation to any other creature on the planet.

As-Salaamu Alaikum

I am curios to honest, meaningful answers.

I converted not long ago an I am having a hard time explaining to my children about not celebrating the holidays..

My Q is would it be wrong to, during there winter break make up our own "Thanks" Day to Allah (swt). And on this day have gifts, decorations, food etc..

I have taught them many things about the religion an they are so pleased with it an want to learn more, Al-Hamdullilah. But I am fearful that if I take EVERYTHING away I will discourage them from this beautiful religion, an they will despise it.

any an all advice is welcome, if done so in a respectful mannor

is there any sort of morality that can be learned from the story of jacob? apparently, the guy has two wives who are both sisters. one of them can't bear children so she gives up her handmaid to jacob to produce children. i'm trying to find what sort of moral message is being taught here. i mean, we know adultery is against what god wants yet, it almost seems as if it is ordained by god that rachel must give jacob her handmaid because she is incapable of bearing children. any clue on what the message here is?

I don't think so because of these reasons. What is or is not an extraordinary or controversial claim is relative to the audience. If an audience demands proof, the speaker should weigh the claim against his or her own understanding of reasonableness. I wouldn't feel compelled to defend my belief that Bush is disappointing in the face of those who disagree. Likewise, I don't feel burdened to prove the existence of God to those who doubt because my personal and communal belief in God is robust enough to find objections unobtrusive in any significant way. If I am personally invested in another person's belief (in the sense that a friends wants to discuss proof and evidences in detail) I would out of obligation to the relationship want to openly offer my reasons for believing. Friends are interested in each other's views.

I think this is more or less true of atheists or those who hold to evolution in the midst of doubters. They are not obligated to "prove" much

What do you think

So...Santa and Satan both have the same letters in their name, both have beards and both dress in red and black. You Never see them at the same time. YIKES could it be....that it is the same guy doing different gigs at different times of the year??

Of course then again...you never see Jesus and the Easter Bunny together either. Does anyone know if Jesus had big ears?

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple's children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday.

The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers, they told police interrogators after being arrested in Diyala province northwest of Baghdad.

The three cousins executed Hayali and his wife Zeinab Kamel at the all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province, village police chief Captain Ahmed Khalifa said.

Boy, this just really shows what kind of fruit a "religion of peace" can produce in the 21st century!

Where you sort of just wait it out, because you weren't too good to go to heaven, or too bad to go to hell. And I think it's when you have to do good deeds also, but I'm unsure since I'm not Catholic.

Ok, this has to do with sin, and the book of Romans (and God and His word as a whole)

So here goes:
We know that without Christ, a person is in sin. But when we accept Christ, He completely forgives all sin. So the question is, what happens when a believer sins? We know that He gently convicts us and leads us to repentance. We also know that God promises never to leave or forsake us. So, in the meantime (or at anytime) does God ever turn His face away from the believer?

Note in the OT, when God's people were sinning, God "gave them into their sin." But that was before the Holy Spirit lived in man. But now, we have the Holy Spirit.

So the ultimate question.....Does God ever, ever (at any time at all), "turn His face away" from the believer? And if so then when exactily?

It seems to me that most believers in Abrahamic religions think that the questioning, doubt, or disbelief of their "truth" is a new trend. I submit to you that disbelief in gods is older than both christianity and islam, and possibly judaism as well. Men with rational minds have always questioned the nonsensical ramblings of superstitious simpletons. As a supporting argument, I submit this question, asked over 2,300 years ago. There has never been a satisfactory answer from any deist. Answer well.

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" — Epicurus

There was conclusive proof that some or all of the events in the Bible did not happen?
The question is intended to find out how central the Bible is to your faith and if you discovered that the Bible contained many fabricated stories would your faith be shaken such that may stop believing? So please don't tell us your convictions about how true the Bible is. Tell us if the Bible was not literally true would you continue to believe in God?

I am confused and sad by the way people say things that are offensive to Christians. After cycling through some of these answers people have been posting up, I've noticed a lot of Christian hate. I'm sorry if I offend anyone in anyway. I don't mean for this to seem biased, but I am just a person looking for an honest answer.
