Re: A question to Agnosts and Atheists?
My belief in God is less of a person-like entity that interjects himself into the affiars of mankind. The universe and earth were created billions of years ago, and things happen naturally as they were laid out from the beginning. The diplacement of thousands of different kinds of animas around the globe was not sped up by God in the last few thousand years just for a planet for humans to inhabit. Humans are just a speck in the universe after all.
The impossiblity of a world wide flood w/at least 2 of every animal inside one boat aside, I don't believe God would wipe out mankind for being wicked. (If that were the case, the wolrd should be flooded right now). God is all knowing and all powerful and he is benevolent. He obviously knew that man would become wicked, so why would he kill them?
Sorry was a bit delayed.
Somewhat true, we do exagerate a lot. However a lot of things given in our scriptures are true and we just need to put it into context however miracles were performed by Prophets, natural occurances to me are not miracles. Like Jesus PBUH reviving the dead is a miracle. Creation of Adam is not a miracle to me because its something Allah SWT or God did. The difference being God is capable of all things, humans are not, so when they perform such earth shattering things then they do it with help from God.
I agree that a lot of things happen with the passage of time. However the starting point for everything has God behind it. Progress and creation are different things. Humans have progressed.
I don't believe God would wipeout mankind for being wicked either, thats why we have judgement. Do you think that Noah PBUH really existed?
