Also i wont post an essay of full of facts to explain why im atheist. But why do you need the supernatural to explain this wonderful natural world we live in does it so fail to amuse you that you believe in made up stories.

Let us See the matter regarding coincidence Is it a Coincidence that i am a creature who needs water to drink and there is plenty of water on earth,Is it a Coincidence I needed air to breath and there there is air for me to breath,Is it a Coincidence I needed Bright Day for Work and there is Bright day,Now is it a Coincidence I need Rest there is Dark Night for me to Rest on earth,Variety of Fruits,Vegetables,Meat,Natural Resources all for a Purpose.... According to The Holy Scriptures Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, or the Quran e Kareem There is Nothing as Conincidence every thing in this world is Perfectly Designed to fullfil Human Needs and the Final Revelation "Quran e Haqeem" Contains the information regarding the Previous Holy Books and is a Solution for Humanity, Any Person Before Denying Any thing I Severely Urge Every Person that just to Go Through the 'Quran' just Once.... The Reasons that Why I believe in God are Four.... 1) Every Human in this world has been Made on a same Design principle (Dirt and Water) with life means (Bones,Flesh,Blood) in to Means the Designer is The Same Who bestows the Eyes,Ears and Hearts to enjoy the Colourful world.... 2) The Designing of the Heavens and the Earth is specifically for no purpose then as a service to Humans as Changing of Day and Night is specifically been made for human beings and the Air in which we breath is specifically suitable for our lungs and when the rain falls and enters the Flowers,Fruit and Vegetable plants they all are made for our Feeding, Water for us to Drink and Many Many Parameters that are necessary for our Existence altogether are Essential for our lives cannot be Coincidential.... 3)Matter Can Neither be Created Nor Destroyed Implies once it must have been "Created" By An All Powerful Creator which is "One" Cause If there were Two,Three or More They Would have Disputes among themselves.... 4) Miracles of More Then 124,000 Prophets Preaching that God is One a chain of prophets starting with Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God's final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) through Gabriel. I am a Muslim Man and I should probably not be in this blog but as a person who only desires the Truth I have to discuss the matter Regarding God my self too….First of All just to say that i am born in a Muslim Family,Christian Family,Jewish Family or Hindu Family Does not Justify that i become a Muslim,Christian,Jew or Hindu being a Monotheist or Polytheist….I believe a Person should focus on a thing that what can be the Truth Regarding the Creation of the Heavens and The Earth Can it be Conincidential???? or Perfectly Organized By a God a Designer or a Creator????
Let us See the matter regarding coincidence
Is it a Coincidence that i am a creature who needs water to drink and there is plenty of water on earth,Is it a Coincidence I needed air to breath and there there is air for me to breath,Is it a Coincidence I needed Bright Day for Work and there is Bright day,Now is it a Coincidence I need Rest there is Dark Night for me to Rest on earth,Variety of Fruits,Vegetables,Meat,Natural Resources all for a Purpose…. According to The Holy Scriptures Torah, the Injil, the Zabur, or the Quran e Kareem There is Nothing as Conincidence every thing in this world is Perfectly Designed to fullfil Human Needs and the Final Revelation “Quran e Haqeem” Contains the information regarding the Previous Holy Books and is a Solution for Humanity, Any Person Before Denying Any thing I Severely Urge Every Person that just to Go Through the ‘Quran’ just Once….

The Reasons that Why I believe in God are Four….

1) Every Human in this world has been Made on a same Design principle (Dirt and Water) with life means (Bones,Flesh,Blood) in to Means the Designer is The Same Who bestows the Eyes,Ears and Hearts to enjoy the Colourful world….

2) The Designing of the Heavens and the Earth is specifically for no purpose then as a service to Humans as Changing of
Day and Night is specifically been made for human beings and the Air in which we breath is specifically suitable for our lungs
and when the rain falls and enters the Flowers,Fruit and Vegetable plants they all are made for our Feeding, Water for us
to Drink and Many Many Parameters that are necessary for our Existence altogether are Essential for our lives cannot be Coincidential….

3)Matter Can Neither be Created Nor Destroyed Implies once it must have been “Created” By An All Powerful Creator which is
“One” Cause If there were Two,Three or More They Would have Disputes among themselves….

4) Miracles of More Then 124,000 Prophets Preaching that God is One a chain of prophets starting with Adam and
including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Elias, Jonah, John the Baptist,
and Jesus, peace be upon them. But God’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message
and a summing-up of all that has gone before was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad(PBUH) through Gabriel.

There is a God who loves you, who created you in his image. He is my Savior, and I am redeemed from my sins and past. You can post your fancy essays that are "supported with great evidence," but it's really no evidence at all. Yes, there is no evidence to prove God either, but that's where faith comes in, that's when the supernatural takes place. If there was evidence, then what kind of glory would God recieve. Read the Bible and prove me wrong. No matter what you say, the truth its that there is a God. There is a God who loves you, who created you in his image.

Its self in singularity or its place in pre determined system? And how far will this self awareness go to perceive that: 1. There is a need for survival. 2. That the pre detemined system itself has been designed for survival and so at all cost has to maintained or even fine tuned. if a single red bloood cell or even a single minute

Have you ever tried to feel GOD? If supposedly we came to know that "something" created GOD then you will automatically ask who created that " something". This is the game of the human mind. Just take some time to think whether your breath is just a mechanical contraction and relaxation of muscles or something much more than this? I would like to hear from you Does GOD need to be created?? Have you ever tried to feel GOD?

If supposedly we came to know that “something” created GOD then you will automatically ask who created that ” something”. This is the game of the human mind. Just take some time to think whether your breath is just a mechanical contraction and relaxation of muscles or something much more than this?

I would like to hear from you

But Say If I Were To Rid The World Of Everyone Above The Age Of 5, Write My Own Bible And History, And Preach It To Them And Feed That Into Their Minds, Couldnt I Be A God Aswell?

For example, christians always regard God and His teachings etc as their fortress. No doubt the basic notion of a fortress will keep a person safe, it also serve as a barrier making it difficult for people from outside to reach and communicate with them, as seen clearly in the above posts. To erect a mental barrier around your beliefs and values, which are based on a primary source (The Bible), does not promote growth tolerance, empathy and very much, in my opinion, make them bigots. Most of the time, I see some christians go about preaching a given set of reasoning and beliefs and usually assimilate or simply reject the arguments of others. I do acknowledge the credit religion have given people, be it those lessons on values and the by-product of faith, however if we do not question or exercise intellectual discretion on what is being taught and simply 'sponge up' everything based on the preconceived perpetuating opinion that such teachings should be how you should live by, then what does that makes you? I once accepted religion too but even at a young age, I realized that christians around me have a tendency to cast a myopic postive image of deities or God while the negative aspects usually go unacknowledged. Bottomline, I don't believe or will ever accept religion but I do accept that people look at religion differently. The benefits, whether they really are or not, if it makes a person feel happier or better then good for them. However, christians should really acknowledge that there is a general liberalization in culture and society so if they continue to maintain their stand then well, we'll see =) As with all things present on earth, tangible or intangible, there are and will be fundamental flaws to it.

Anger to me is potentially a damaging if not dangerous emotion which to state the obvious clearly and often does lead to dire consequences. It certainly has no place in any reasoned debate or indeed any rational human interaction and its uncontrolled manifestation is totally a dysfunctional reaction and should have no domain on the human psyche. Having read what I just wrote, I'm unsure if I have completely and accurately described my understanding of this emotion. What I have personally observed as I allegedly supposed to grow older and wiser (if not sillier)is that my whole range of emotions have waned in terms of scope and intensity apart perhaps from the feelings of deep affection and protective instincts I have towards my grand children, particularly the youngest one. That said I should mention that over the course of my some 7 decades of self-awareness I have vacillated between weak and strong atheistic beliefs though have witnessed the benefits, values and contributions made by religions which practice positive and humanistic ideals.
