The Earth was Created for Man

>>was caught up with some Official Work Unofficial work is usually illegal. I am glad you were not participating in unofficial work. If my opponent disagrees with the prevailing scientific knowledge of our day, that is your concern. My opponent was assumed Christian up until this point. My opponent is now declared Muslim. >>My opponent is actually not MY opponent; he is opposing something else, which I myself don"t stand for. Never have I said that earth is central to the entire universe! In fact, Islam says, for God, this world is not even as significant as a mosquito"s wing! This argument supports my position. //From the standpoint of science, each star is simply a chance for life to rise up out of the ocean. The more times you play the lottery, the more likely you are to win.// >>This entire discussion is of no consequence... On the contrary, the more suns, the more planets, the more chances to win the lottery of life. The more chances, the more likely there is to be life. Core argument. >>because it doesn"t disprove God"s existence Not the topic of debate. //This is because there is no record of a god for billions of years before recorded history. Key point to refute: what was God doing in these billions of years, and why were humans not involved?// >>Ha-ha. This is funny! Because you can"t guess or imagine what God could be doing over so many billions of years, you rule out the possibility of existence of God. This is definitely ignorance! Humans are hardly special in the grand scheme of things. This comment from my opponent supports my argument. //Why all this hullablo? Why couldn't God have simply created the earth in six days and be done with it?// >>It"s wrong to presume that this world is one successful combination out of millions of unsuccessful combinations around the universe. In reality, each and every atom in the universe is a successful DESIGNED creation and each one bear"s witness that God exists! Expanding on my argument: the more suns, the more planets, the more chances to win the lottery of life. The more chances, the more likely there is to be life. What if there is another planet with sentient life. Did the profit go to that as well? The Qua'rn is called God's Word. It is recited verbatim in Muslim culture, in the original language. If God's Word coexists with God, then Muhammad would be required to go to that planet as well. Fifty planets, fifty Muhammads, the idea boggles the mind. Core argument. Further. "Translation of the Qur'an has always been a problematic and difficult issue in Islamic theology. Since Muslims revere the Qur'an as miraculous and inimitable (i'jaz al-Qur'an), they argue that the Qur'anic text cannot be reproduced in another language or form."[1] What if the Qur'an was lost? What if on another planet, they spoke Portuguese? Then the Qur'an would have no chance to be duplicated in its present form. >>In reality, each and every atom in the universe is a successful DESIGNED creation and each one bear"s witness that God exists! A witness is expected to give testimony. God should have given Muhammad a microscope. Note that there is more scientific knowledge in a 4th grade text book than there is in the holy writings. >>Ever observed an atom? Why do the electrons go round and round the orbits? That's the Bohr model[2] from 1913 and is found in elementary textbooks because of its easy understandability. It was replaced by the Atomic Orbital[3] model in Quantum Phisycs. Conversation regarding the Atom must include the wave-particle duality and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle[4] Key point: Why is is called the Bohr model? Because Bohr created it. Why isn't it called the God model? Because God didn't create it. Same with Heisenberg. There is only one item in Atomic Theory called the God Particle, and this is a misnomer hotly contested by scientists.[5] It's really the Higgs boson and has nothing to do with God. >>Because they are pulled by positive charge? Why don"t they jump into the nucleus if there"s so much of attraction? We are not debating the atom. There is a lot of ignorance in your argument though. "Why doesn't the electron fall into the nucleus?"[6] >>Because of centrifugal force? No. >>Why don"t they jump out of the atom if they are at such high speeds? That"s due to a delicate and accurate balance between pull and centrifugal forces? No. >>How come each electron in every atom balanced itself with such a precision without any external intelligent agency? Electrical current is the transfer of electrons through unstable atoms, called a Conductor.[7] The mere existence of lightning refutes your point. >>God can destroy all of them the moment He decides to do it. Conservation of Mass.[8] >>"Everything in the heavens and earth praises God." (Quran 61:1) Not really. I don't, anyway. >>The main problem with those who deny God is that they soup up NOTHING. Science souped up a car. Don't knock it. Muhammad used a hole in the ground to defaecate. Would you like to join him. >>Let me explain it. When the atheists are asked what was before Big Bang? They answer "nothing". Not really. Unknown is a better answer, and any answer would be challenging to test. That's what the Large Hadron Collider[9] by CERN is studying now. 10,000 scientists and $9bn spent. How much was spent in your Mosque this past year. Millions? Billions? A lot of people with a lot of money and a lot of curiosity are betting on the LHC. Also see LHC's ALICE[10] and LHC's LHCb[11]. >>When they are asked, can something come out of nothing? They get a checkmate. Nope. They get LHCb. >>Professor Krauss The book has received mixed reviews, probably due to the audience of laymen. Note that Krauss is a pillar in the scientific community. >> Sir James Jeans, The Mysterious Universe (c) 1932?!???? Are you kidding me? Stars collide on a cosmic scale every day. >>Albert Einstein said, "The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible." Misquoted but the spirit is correct. Core rebuttal: Einstein said at the start of the book that Physicists are poor philosophers.[12] >>All the atheists need to stop feeling arrogance towards God Santa and Spiderman get equal respect, actually. >>and start feeling humble and humiliated because in spite of so much of "scientific advancement" You claim that science has not advanced? You leave me speechless, sir/ma'am. >>all the scientists in the world and all the labs in the world together CAN"T CREATE EVEN A SINGLE ATOM OUT OF NOTHING! Molecules are the next level up from atoms, and laymen don't like it when scientists modify molecules.[12] They do that every day. >>they can"t even ASSEMBLE an atom by taking a proton from one atom, neutron from another and an electron from a third atom and putting them in action! Isn"t it SHAMEFUL?! Taking atoms apart is easy.[13] Putting them together is hard.[14] Would you be ashamed if you could not push an elephant up a hill, even if it was on a cart?
