    Contradictions in Atheism

    Contradictions in Atheism
    Regardless of anyone's particular beliefs, all atheists share some from of denial for a Creator and Designer. This denial leads to many contradictions:
    Believing there is no design necessarily means believing in chance and randomness, which leads to adopting fantastical unproven hypothesis to explain order without a designer, rationality and intelligence from dumb irrational processes, life from dead matter, free choice for a creature with no purpose.
    Once you deny God you start treating universal laws selectively (e.g. yes to gravity, no to causation), adopting a stolen concept fallacy when you use causation to practice any empirical science but deny causation in the creation of the Universe and us.
    You cannot deny God, which is also denial of an objective source for morality, yet assume a higher moral ground and attack the morals of religious figures.
    To explain the fine-tuning which most scientists agree on, atheists need to practice self-deceit and non-scientific bias by attributing God-like creative qualities to dumb physical processes, such as natural selection, mother nature, gravity, etc. with no empirical evidence (what Lewontin and Gould call “just so” stories.)

    Quran Only/ Drop Hadith

    Quran Only/ Drop Hadith
    We hear a lot of talk nowadays about making do with the Quran and abandoning the prophetic tradition as a secondary source for Islam. The words Sunnah, Prophetic tradition, and Hadith in this video are used to refer to the preserved authenticated tradition of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
    This is part of a series to address contemporary issues for Muslims.
    If I got anything right, it is by the grace of God. I I got anything wrong, it is my mistake and I ask God, then you to forgive me.

    Why the Hijab?!....

    Why the Hijab?!....
    Why do Muslims have a dress code? Why do women cover their hair and not men? Isn't this oppression of women? Are women forced into Hijab? Isn't it behind the times?

    This is the second video of the Series: Life Situations and the Believer. It is inspired by the many questions on hair cover from Muslims and non-Muslims.

    This point of view is based on what I know of Islam. If it is correct, it is by the grace of God. If it is wrong, it is from myself and I ask your forgiveness.
