Well, Charles Darwin's theory of evolution explains all....
Oh aye...that's how we do it up in here!
I was raised Muslim too, but a couple of years ago I pretty much lost my faith. If God, should he exist, be all-powerful, why would he feel the need to have us insignificant human beings worship him?
IMO, religion was originally concieved by mankind through the collective inability to come to terms with our (inevitable) demise. Somewhere along the way, it became a tool for propaganda of all sorts.
Wow, u believe his 'Theory'.. Hmm.. So, there was a big bang in the world and thats how blood flows around my body as it does. Lol - again, dnt think so! Il say no more 4 ur science theory... a sealed heart is a sealed heart..
and as 4 u Dr F

ur the 1st muslim ive ever come across that duznt love bein a muslim! and thtz bullsh*t. u dnt pray because God
needs us too.. u pray to thank Him for everythin He's given u, to show ur respect, to appreciate Him. have u read the Quran? i mean properly with meaning? u lost faith.. so God put u thru a test, u cudnt handle it and so now dont believe in His existence? I see.
Put it this way ... u live ur life, not respectin religion, not givin a f*ck bout God or anything and just act like it duznt exist coz - lets face it - ur too scared to think otherwise (as most of u lot seem 2 b doin..) and then ur death comes.. im guessin most of u dnt believe in after life? but say all this stuff religious ppl went on n on about comes TRUE - u get judged and get sent to heaven or hell - how fucked will u be then!!! whereas, if u do live ur life following a religion and the way God wants u too.. and u die.. and theres no after life n all this was bullsh*t, wat difference does it make coz ur DEAD neway?!
Ya getz me?
Um...no I don't get you. The big bang happened, amino acids combine on the young Earth to form proteins, which makes cells...cells divides and multiply....eventually they become simple lifeforms, which has been proven to exist. These simple lifeforms
evolved into simple creatures, which
evolved into more complex creatures. The reason our blood vessels are sealed...well, it's an evolutionary trait...if they weren't sealed in the first place, we'd die, simple as. Survival of the fittest.
And yet, despite the overwhelming evidence, you still belive that...somehow, a "God" made us. So, some higher being went *poof* and made all of us. I don't think so. You're just blinded by faith, so there's really no point bothering to try and contradict, since it just comes in one ear and out the other.
As for an afterlife, the notion of an afterlife is absurd. The very notion of it was just created by weak-minded people who were too scared of the inevitability of death, so they just make up an "afterlife" to comfort themselves. Personally, I'm not scared of death, and I accept the inevitability that when you're dead, you're dead, simple as that.
And finally, Hell and Heaven was also invented by weak-minded people to gain some control over the masses and make themselves superior to them. It's simply a method of control conjured up by the leaders to make sure people behave themselves. Some people have wised up to it though, like myself.
Righto, that was a bit long-winded, but I wanted to express my view. If you take offense at anything I said, I couldn't give a sh*t because it's my opinion. If you have a problem, I don't care, so don't bother flaming me.
