    Peace Andya, Zen, us scientists are fine with changing 'truths', as in science all knowledge is relative, it gets improved as we advance further. Also, because nothing is sacred in science, then there are no penalties in changing anything. That's all well and good. The only problem I have, is with others expecting me to believe it as 100% truth/fact. As I said, we can change what we believe to be truth anytime, but the truth does not change. So believing there were 9 planets for all those years, was false. It may have been a convenient belief at the time, but it didn't last too long did it? So when we found the 10th planet, oh, what an exciting time, and then what happened. Now they have changed the meaning of 'planet'. Are we still supposed to rejoice that we've finally found the truth now? So... how do you define 'planet', Zenje? I'm curious, because you don't accept IAU's. I don't have a definition, I never had one to begin with. I'm not the 'scientist' here, nor do I claim that I know it all. I only have what they tell me, to work with. Again, what God tells me, takes precedence over any human. ;D Peace

    I think immunodistruction in people with AIDS is more complicated than referring it to a virus. This is a serious problem because lot of money and time of scientists are wasted without solving it......and people are dying now as I am writing this. Please elaborate your views. Peace! I'm skeptical that HIV causes AIDS. Currently there are two main oppositions to this HIV does not exist HIV is a harmless, passenger virus. Here's an informational video that summarises the opposition camps - The Other Side of Aids http//video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6100849606222443259&q=other+side+of+aids&pr=goog-sl More Info - VirusMyth http//www.virusmyth.net/aids/

    By the way, the first person to propose that humans are primates was the great Carolus Linnaeus. Linnaeus lived some time before Darwin, that is, before people thought of the idea of evolution.) http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Khaldun Shanavas, Creation or Evolution an Islamic Perspective Pg 128 Ibn Khaldun The muqaddimah trans. by Franz Rosenthal, Vol. 1, Pg 195 One should then look at the world of creation. It started out from minerals and progressed, in an ingenious gradual manner to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs, and seedless plants. The last stage of plants such as palms and vines is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power of touch. The word "connection" with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first stage of the next group. The animal world widens, its species become numerous, and in a gradual process of creation, it finally leasds to man whi is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagascity ad perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man (after the world of monkeys). This is as far as our (physical) observations extends. Al- Biruni, Kitab al-jamahjir fi ma'rifat al-jawahir, (arabic) Hyderbad Dairratu 'L Ma' arif'l Osmania, 1934, p. 80. "Man reached his maximum degree of perfection compared to other animals below him, He ascended to the present state from other kinds of beings such as dog-like, bear-like, ape-like, etc. Then finally became man."

    peace all, check out this link for verification http//www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sun/ In the early 21st century, it's become clear that air pollution can significantly reduce the amount of sunlight reaching Earth, lower temperatures, and mask the warming effects of greenhouse gases. Climate researcher James Hansen estimates that "global dimming" is cooling our planet by more than a degree Celsius (1.8?F) and fears that as we cut back on pollution, global warming may escalate to a point of no return. Regrettably, in terms of possibly taking corrective action, our current understanding of global dimming has been a long time in the coming, considering the first hints of the phenomenon date back to 18th-century observations of volcanic eruptions. In this slide show, follow a series of historic events and scientific milestones that built the case for global dimming.

    peace enquierer and phoenix1, well, based on what pheonix1 said, how do you prove the fact that the quran IS the interpretation of the life of mohammed USING THE QURAN ITSELF. i don't know, it's your claim and you shall prove it. ) in several places of the quran, it has been stated to obey god and obey the messenger... i doubt someone would write something like that in their biography. clearly, the messenger would not mention his name in the quran if his life was based on god alone... just think about it! ) peace, rifat

    Dear Heart You do that. In-deed I will. They're much easier to learn. So why not. Thank you for the tip. Dear Idolfree The question I would wonder is what is being accomplished by alerting someone to a problem up ahead that cant be changed regardless of foreknowledge ? I do feel that many events are out of our control but we always have control of our response, so the situations are not of importance, rather it is our response to a situation. You just answered your own question. My question was based on the post before mine where the response as well was fixed, then below my question was my opinion. Thats why I answered my own question. The reason for wanting to know what is coming is to prepare your RESPONSE to the situation, because everyone does not respond in the same manner, so remain at peace , others get emotional, stressed, and sick. As well, if one realizes that certain foods are poisonous to their system then they have the oppurtunity to obstain from them and in doing so they may change the fatal outcome. Also, a question out of curiousity is how abouts did you learn to read the tarot cards? Through people, book, etc... ? as I am interested to know more about the cards. If you really want to deal with "cards" , I would refer you to the Metu Neter divination system. You can get the book Metu Neter to help you with understanding it, but these cards are very hard to get right now. Another oracle is I ching, where you can use three coins. I use both of them currently. I will keep those in mind but I do not feel any 'attraction' to those two systems, no gut pull or inner-sense/drive like I do to what I am currently learning, however when the avenues expand I will return to this page and reconsider. Divination is in the Bible and Koran for any who get scared at this type of discussion. I came across it a few days ago in the New Testament where there are lots cast in dividing Jesus clothes after he is crucified and was wondering where I could mention this, and so I shall here. As well, I recall that there is channeling in the Old Testament, where (I recall) a prohpet spoke to the spirit of a recently deceased through a oracle, do you know what verse this is? The name Isaah comes to mind. peace, Khalil

    Our universe is neither expanding nor static, but parallel. But we must remember that one day one day all the galaxies in this universe will meet together to create the biggest explosion in the history of the universe in one second or blink of an eye. Then the new world exist where everything is stable, neutral, no more old ages, humans always stay young forever, this is what we call jannah.

    Last night, I briefly checked the second part of the article on the verse containing the 50,000 years reference. I found the calculation useless, since almost any number would produce the speed of light, accurate to many position after the decimal. It was such as silly slight of hand, I was very dissapointed in the author. However, the part about the 1,000 year still sounds interesting. I will be on a weekend vacation and I hope I will have chance to study it. Peace, Edip I agree totally with you mate peace

    Salam again, O you jinns and humans, if you can penetrate the outer limits of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and penetrate. You cannot penetrate without authorization. This verse is indicating that one day when people get the authorization, most probably Quran Alone scientists, they will be able to go past the speed of light and penetrate the heavens. I found that NASA has been doing some reasearch in this regard and this may be the answer to my above mentioned problems http//www.nasa.gov/centers/glenn/research/warp/warp.html Also check out http//www.seds.org/nodes/NODEv4n3-5.html GOD Bless!

    Hi Andya, That's why our lungs are directly connected with the esophagus (and with it comes the risk of choking). Our lungs are not directly connected with the Oesophagus. The pharynx is the common path for the respiratory(nasopharynx) and digestive tract(oropharynx). After which, the respiratory tract continues as larynx, trachea, bronchi and lungs. Choking occurs due to mechanical or functional obstruction of the upper airway such as the larynx, trachea. More information on http//www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/13338-1.asp Peace!

    It is philosophy, but who is to say science can't be? anything that seeks to explain, prove, disprove or analyze existence, is in essence, philosophy. It's just that some seeks to offer physical proof

    As the Humans, Animals, thus began to life upon the dawn of civilization, the ever-and instantly nourishing food and plant that was sweet and delicious no longer tasted so, even worse, no longer generated as fast. The humans had to work hard to tend the plants in order to get food. Their time were wasted on working hard on the fields, thus they were quite shaken when the first crimes took place. Amongst humans were the lazy ones, who took other's properties without permission and thus it was the first time the law was written. The punishment against crimes and the identification of crimes' itself. Thus, amongst the humans of one tribe or another, was one person who had an excellent skill in judging or inherent wisdom and intelligence to decide matter fairly and satisfactory. The people who had no time for such decision and arbitrary came to trust this man/woman, and they gave him trust, rice, and also goods for his reward in deciding matters. The administrator (if we can call him that) is the start of th first government in the world. Then, as the society became more and more complex, the administrator changed form into kingdom, chieftains, or even sovereignity. That is the start of the civilization.
