Right Hand Vs Left Hand
-
HANDEDNESS, LANGUAGE, AND BRAIN LATERALIZATION
Perhaps the most striking anatomical characteristic of the human brain is that it is divided into two hemispheres, so that it has two of almost every structure one on the left side and one on the right. But these paired structures are not exactly symmetrical and often differ in their size, form, and function. This phenomenon is called brain lateralization.
The two most lateralized functions in the human brain are motor control and language. When a function is lateralized, this often means that one side of the brain exerts more control over this function than the other does. The side that exerts more control is often called the ?dominant hemisphere? for this function, but this expression can be somewhat misleading (see sidebar).
Lateralization of motor control is what determines whether someone is right-handed or left-handed. When someone is ambidextrous?when they can use either hand as easily as the other?it means that their brain is only partly lateralized or not at all lateralized for motor control.
In right-handed people, the ?dominant? hemisphere for motor control is the left, while in left-handed people, it is the right. The reason for this inversion is that the motor pathways of the nervous system cross over to the other side of the body as they go down the spinal cord. Thus the movements of one side of the body are controlled by the hemisphere on the opposite side.
About 9 out of 10 adults are right-handed. This proportion seems to have remained stable over many thousands of years and in all cultures in which it has been studied

Trying hard to change the subject, huh? http//foolstown.com/sm/umn.gif
No at all, I've just related what you said about born with from a scientists views . scientists according to your post said that 9 out 10 adults (not childs) are right handed, and I said that scientists said the same thing about gays adults as well (not childs) ....I'll let you think !

Scientists say that 9 out of 10 gays are right handed? rotfl
Btw., it's "children", not "childs".

Salaam,
I think it will be very nice if the debate can proceed without one ridiculing one's language skills, be it English or Arabic. It's unnecessary and will only make things worse.
Sorry for being off topic.
grabs a popcorn and continues watching the debate
Salaam.

Hi & salam
My apologies, you are right that we should not ridicule each others' language skills.
I usually don't comment on anyone's mistakes. As long as I can figure out what a person is trying to say, I see no problem with someone making grammar or spelling mistakes or whatever.
But here the poster has on repeated occasions mocked or put others down for their supposed lack of understanding Arabic. He has also said that he believes English is lacking in expressions and has used this an argument for not explaining his own arguments properly.
I find that a bit weird -- not to say arrogant -- because it is obvious that his knowledge of English is rather superficial and it is obvious that he is sometimes lacking the vocabulary to express himself properly. And this sort of attitude just rubs me the wrong way.

Btw., it's "children", not "childs".You see your aim is not understanding neither in your hand to understand anything, I've said scientist said that 9 out 10 born are adults gays . sorry if you'll consider me rude, but I have to say the truth that you're stupid because you didn't understand that a gay is an abnormal situation of nature because of a deviation of the environment of a child, the same thing for left handed one . it's a comparison between what you said and what I said and both of the comparison show that being gay is a habit and being a left handed is a habit, so don't believe what scientists said.
one more thing about writing "childs" it's because I didn't pay attention, if you'll blame me about that, I can blame you about writing "BTW" .... o? that obviously shows that you are not deserving even knock your door.

Erm ... no. The way you worded your post, you made it sound as if nine out of ten gays are right-handed. But m3alesh, I will refrain from making sarcastic remarks about your language skills, so let's just skip this.
I have to say the truth that you're stupid because you didn't understand that a gay is an abnormal situation of nature because of a deviation of the environment of a child
I have not said anything about gays here or in any other thread.

Being left-handed is not a habit. If it was only a habit, it would be possible to change it. But fact is that forcing someone to use their right hand when they are actually left-handed (or vice versa) can have very negative consequences for the individual.
I can blame you about writing "BTW" .... o?
"BTW" means "by the way". What does that have to do with you using a wrong plural form?

Alhamdullilah! yay
we wrote " " Alhamdulilah is wrong ...

So how would you write it in Latin letters, considering the fact that there is no equivalent for the Arabic letter ""?
That's not my problem, it's yours .
-
That's not my problem, it's yours .
sigh
I don't have any problem at all. It was you who said that the way I spelled the word was wrong; I just wanted to know how you would spell it.
If you don't have an answer to this question, I assume my spelling was correct. nope

If you don't have an answer to this question, I assume my spelling was correct. nopeYou spell it wrong because we say " " if you want to write it using latin letters, you'll write it like that "Al-Hamdo Lilah" not "alhamdolilah" as you did. the words are not atached to each others.

I see your point, but imho you can spell it both ways.
"Alhamdullilah" seems to be the most common and widely used spelling though.

it is wrong, I don't care if it is widely used spelling or not, the important is that it is wrong spelling. Because we didn't write the word in arabic like that (it is composed from two separated parts "Al-Hamdo" and "Allah" ).
so take it or leave it , it's your choice.

thereformer1,
there is no indication in the quran that one must attain a hand preference in writing/eating/etc. if you believe quran says so then yes i'm unaware and lack quranic knowledge.I think God should show everything even how you'll walk, he gave you mind to interpret and choose (when God said in a verse that the left position is for the infidels and the non-believers , so be clever and interpret that the left position is not a good thing because it's a position of non-believers ). and know also that hell is in the left position too.
so being not mentioned in Qur'an doesn't mean that we can't banned it, and that's why Sunnah came to banned using the left hand for the same reason and even worst the sunnah told us that the deamons eat by their left hand, so being like them will not make you different from them.
