A direct response to your claim in the qur'an:
I won't even dignify that evil book with a response.
Your future may be your death. Will you wait until then? Maybe you have just not found the answers yet. However some of us have.
Everyone's future is their own death. And wait for what exactly, nobody has found the answers yet, that's the whole point, and it is this uncertainty that arouses such anxiety within you that leads you to grasp at straws and devise an answer that appeals to you and reduces your anxiety of not knowing. I can't imagine a more arrogant stand point than suggesting that you have found the answers to life, when it is apparent to anyone intellectual that the body of human knowledge is miniscule compared to what their is to know. It is this arrogance that alienates people from you. Your inability to be able to express those answers in an intellectually satisfying way is proof that your answers lack validity and why they are rejected by those who aren't indoctrinated into your faith of "We have the answers"
So in essence you are basing what you believe, in faith too.
To have an Open Mind requires No faith, that's the beauty of it. I base what I believe on imperical evidence, not faith. Belief can be verified and tested, like the belief in Gravity, so far every time i have tested this belief, it has prooved to be correct. As to your other point, Irrationality is believeing that humans don't have brains.
? You didn't cut a head open, you didn't cut you rown head either. You were TOLD this.. and you believe it. Therefore it's faith you put a trust in something that you are told. You didn't do it yourself or 'find out' yourself. You maybe read about it.
No, I have witnessed cadavers having there head cut open, the knowledge wasn't conveyed to me by Chinese whispers. Brain Surgeons also believe that humans have brains, there belief is so strong, they make a great living from prooving themselves correct on a daily basis.
It indeed is perfect. What you talk about such as mutations are merely a test for us in this life. THe limitations imposed on us is to remind us that we are not God, and that we are DEPENDENT. We depend on our creator.
Further to the point. If we don't have perfect reproductive system we seize to exist. God created the process perfectly. However if things go wrong, or we do wrong things, for example today all the xenohormones, plastics, oils, poisons, chemicals, hormones and other crap around us.. cancers caused by nuclear tests, microwaves, etc... affect our fertility and cause us harm... does that change the fact that we have to have a perfectly male and a seperately perfectly female reproductive system to bring new life? No it remains the same.
You argue that we are perfect, but then go onto highlight our imperfections, our dependance, our mutations and the fact that not everyone has the ability to reproduce. The fact we can reproduce is by no means humans are perfect, all living beings can reproduce, even bacterias which infect our bodies. Like I said, you fon't understand the concept of Perfection which is universally accepted as a state of completeness and flawlessness. Our dependance is proof of our incompleteness and the fact we suffer from disease and decay is proof of our flawlessness, if we were flawless there would be no room for improvement and once again no need for disease prevention or medicine.
Or maybe you tend to see evil in everything and pessimism in everything instead of the beauty of life. Negatives as opposed to positives. Quite like I said earlier, you are ungrateful to God. If you were greatful to our creator you would see things differently and understand life differently.
Maybe you tend to only see one side of life, to be aware of the negative in no way reduces your ability to see the positive, indeed without an acceptance of the negative an individual cannot find a balance, they will live in an extreme state of denial. You suggesting that to deny the existence of war, famine and disease is showing gratitude to god is absurd. Without acknowledging such things, it will be impossible to improve on this situation, the fact you deny it is why there is such suffering in the first place, hardly a way to honor a "God" by pretending that there are no such things. Are you grateful to god for flesh eating bacteria? I think not. I can indeed make a human being, it merely requires finding a female of reproductive capability and impregnating her.
Again same as what i said above. Your perception of gloom and doom in life.
You suggest that the reality of war, famine and disease is a "PERCEPTION" when this is a reality, your unwillingness to accept that, much like a lot of your beliefs is quite simply an inability to see reality for what it is. regardless of whether or not I was aware of such atrocities doesn't prevent if from being a reality. One could argue that your perception and defence of Muslims being slaughtered by the Western World is just "your perception" and representing a gloomy outlook on life.
Well what would it be? An alien? Our definition of an alien would mean it had to originate from somewhere to?
God on the other hand is eternal. The universe is not eternal. It had a beginning. God has no beginning or end. Is independent. is not created.
If you can't grasp the whole universe in your mind, do you think you can grasp the creator?
You don't know if the Universe had a beginning or not, but you make sweeping statements as if they are fact. You suggested before that when you study source code it implies a intelligent creator, yet now you claim that something as infinitely powerful as a creator has no creator. You made the statement that if the Intelligent Creator was an alien that would mean it had to originate from somewhere to, but when you argue for the Intelligent creator being GOD you say that "God is not created". You swing back and forth and contradict yourself all the time to suit a set of ideas you hold about life. Either intelligent design implies a creator or it doesn't, you can't claim that a watch implies an intelligent designer, but in the case of God, their is no intelligent designer that created it, but if the Intelligent creator was an alien then the alien must have come from somewhere. You also state that the Creator can't be understood by humans and yet you argue continually that you know what God wants for us, suggesting that you have in fact got the answers and an understanding of God.
Anyway, this will be my last response to you, entering your world of nonsense makes life less enjoyable, although I agree with you on a lot of criticism regarding Americas Foreign policy, I will never understand "The religion of peace/Violence"
