Baptism of Jesus Christ
The concept of “virgin birth” is not a knew concept. It has been used in primitive cultures of “North American Indians”. Religious concepts like these might make some sense if taken metaphorically not literally. Likewise when Jesus talks about “kingdom of God” it does not mean a kingdomon of this earth but rather , a place in the spiritual realm. To me, this seems to be the only way to make some sense of religious concepts. Otherwise how on earth can someone with right senses and reason believe in the concept of Virgin birth. Concepts like these are termed as “elementary concept” which were common “folk concept” in the ancient world.

The Virgin Birth
You are right when you say that a cell can be stimulated by chemicals and electrical current but the problem lies in the fact that even if that possible ,IT WOULD GIVE RISE TO ONLY FEMALE, where do you get the male chromosome? So most probably jesus was a female

Seemingly, God is Angry at America
One thing i find very interesting is that from Adam to Prophet Mohammad, period of about 6000 years, God sent 124000 prophets and about 6 holy books. Now why on earth would God stop sending new prophets and new holy books. I think humans need more prophets and new holy books every few years.
In the old testament we can find prophets in almost every neighbourhood and its really sad that we dont get them anymore.

I am really amazed how the concept of God is engraved in Human nature. It has changed over the period of time but is still valid for most of the humanity, more so during the time of a disaster.One thing i find very interesting is that from Adam to Prophet Mohammad, period of about 6000 years, God sent 124000 prophets and about 6 holy books.

Since you seem to be a person who believes in the religious method as the way of attaining absolute knowledge, you would be the ideal person to address my concerns.
Would you be kind enough to let me know how a religious truth is verified. All the religions make the claim of being the only true religion. Juadaism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam all make the same claim. Forget the rest for now, there are about 72 sects in Islam only. To my understanding all the religions use the same method to prove their claim and that is common to all of them. Each one has its own relvealed book, Prophet, miracles to prove their divine source.
Now , by what method can a person choose one of them? How can a religious truth be validated? To me, it all comes down to faith which does not need any reason and thats the beauty of it.

Every time after a new discovery or a new information from a s ceintific front someone always quote a verse from Quran , saying that it was told in Quran 1400 years ago. The problem is that if every scientific information is in Quran then why did it came to light only after it was found by science, why not before that. What could not the religious experts ccame up with the new found information before. Please try to be logical and reasonable and encourage the good work being done by Mr. Gill

Its very rare to have a voice which follow rules of reasoning and logic. Gill Sahib is one of them. Only because it does not go along with the religious concepts is no reason to critisize him.Every time after a new discovery or a new information from a s ceintific front someone always quote a verse from Quran , saying that it was told in Quran 1400 years ago.

Declarations of Faith and The National Identity
Why were prophets sent?Obviously whenever there was evil and people reached a certain threshold of evil,which only God know, the prophets were sent to warn the people and show them the right path. The question is,why stop the process? Has the evil been defeated, I would say quite conterary to that,it has grown more and at the present age it has gone out of proportion. Rationally speaking, now is the time, more than ever for God to sent as much prophets as possible. I dont see any reason or harm in that and to me that is the logical course of action. In Old testement there were maney prophets even at the same time in differnt neighbourhoods so why cant we have some in this present age.
One becomes a muslim by beliveing``There is no god but ALLAH and Mohammad is his messenger`` There is no mention of the last prophet and it was added in the mainstream after the death of the prophet to counter the so called false prophets who were tying to make claims to prophethood. As for me, there is no harm is having new prophets OR it might me that God has lost his hope in mankind and finally turned his back on us.

Humans normally find it too much of imaginative leap to think about the process that took millions of years. We normally think in terms of few years and thats why most of us are unable to comprehend the beauty of evolution.

At present the theory of evolution is the best explaination possible. The ``God`` theory has inherent logical flaws associated with it but since most of us do not strive to follow the logical path,the ``God`` theory seems OK.Humans normally find it too much of imaginative leap to think about the process that took millions of years. We normally think in terms of few years and thats why most of us are unable to comprehend the beauty of evolution.

The first Ummah was rather a political solution to the problem of co-existance of differnt tribes in Medina. The first Ummah not only contained Christans, jews but the pagans as well. Its really sad to see the present Mullahs exhibiting such degree of intolerence while claiming to follow the example of Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him). listing 16-32
