Allah and Global warming.

erm I do not fully understand the entire discussion but seems to me like you guys are basically arguing over two different theories - the theory of relativity (determinism) and the quantum mechanics (probability). The quantum theory implies that there is a limit to how much scientists could know about a particle since there is randomness and uncertainty in the universe. Einstein, a firm believer of order in the universe, didn’t like this idea and said “God does not play dice”, meaning everything follows a pattern.

Today, it is generally accepted that quantum physics is true. In the words of Stephen Hawking, "Not only does God play dice with the universe, he throws them where they cannot be seen. All the evidence shows that God is actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion”. Another physicist, Niels Bohr, responded “Einstein, don’t tell God what to do with his dice”.

And guess what … this Einstein-Bohr argument still ain’t over, as is obvious from this thread. Einstein tried to reconcile quantum physics with the theory of relativity in search for a unified theory that explained every single thing about how the universe works but to date no such theory-of-everything has been put forward. I say what the hell, why do we need to reconcile the two concepts and then reconcile that theory-of-everything with religion? Einstein wasn’t dumb, I’m not ignoring his point of view neither am I rejecting quantum physics and I’m definitely not rejecting the Quran because neither Einstein nor Heisenberg were smarter than Allah.

If God did not play dice with us humans, we would have no free will and there would be no concept of heaven and hell. BUT, does God play dice with the universe too or is every little atom, every little speck controlled by Allah? In terms of global warming, are we destroying the planet and contributing to global warming or was this destruction of the planet by humans also predetermined by God? There is no definite answer to this as of now, it is up to your own beliefs. I do not need science to prove to me that there is a God and I don’t need the Quran to prove to me how babies are born or how the planet is becoming warmer!

Einstein said “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” I will dare disagree with him because life isn’t all black and white, there’s many gray areas. One can be spiritual and practical at the same time so there *is *a third way of living your life. Which one you choose is up to you, I’m quite happy living in the gray area where I try to seek knowledge but if I cannot find any definite answers, I try not to play God. Just because I can’t explain something with logic doesn’t mean it isn’t true. It’s all about faith.

And the biggest irony of it all is that these scientists believe(d) in a divine intervention - God (aka Allah).

The very people on whose theories people of no religion base their theories on.
