The reason I replied so quickly is because I’m quite familiar with the site and its misleading claims. It’s often cited by genuine bigots and christian supremacists and people who look for something to reinforce their pre-existing beliefs on what Islam is about. (I’m not assuming you fall into those categories…

This is actually one of Neil DeGrase Tyson’s biggest errors ( and it’s annoying to see it keep spreading. He claimed Al-Ghazali was anti-science, but actually Al-Ghazali was a pro-science leader of his time. I suspect he’s thinking of a different historical figure, but in terms of history dropping his name and calling…

That’s a terribly broken analogy; a trained military analyst predicting the outcome a conflict in consensus with others is not remarkable. An illiterate uneducated person correctly doing so is unexpected and invites questions as to how that happened. The short answer is that there really isn’t an explanation for the…

Why do atheists feel the need to push their beliefs into every conversation?

You’re quoting a Christian missionary website as your first link, you think they’re going to be honest and forthcoming about their competition? I can see right away that they’re distorting the truth and making dishonest claims about what the Quran does and doesn’t say.

Muslim here, and this is a bad idea. I’m not in support of this. It’s not even part of the religion to make such a demand, Islam actually has a long history of scientific inquiry, and evolution does not contradict Islam (One of God’s 99 names is The Evolver).

Not all religion, and not all adherents of religion.

Plenty actually. Not just miracles, but the Quran accurately forecast the future and described certain things in the universe that were only discovered later (the atmosphere has 7 layers, all iron was from extraterrestrial origin, the gender of bees and ants, etc) without anything actually contradicting science.

Muslims believe in evolution, one of God’s 99 names in the Quran is The Evolver. The Quran also says all life came from water. There are is a disagreement on Adam however, some interpretations however that believe Adam (the first human) was created from scratch and some say its symbolic and maybe he was born from a…

Republicans who get angry at Depp should remember the example they set for the last 8 years; where they said it’s free speech and wouldn’t condemn such talk. It’s still not good speech, but they have no standing to criticize.

Ossoff lost nearly 50-50, in Georgia that’s astounding.

They’re all too afraid to point out the Emperor has no clothes. Trump will tweet-blast any Republican who goes out of line, and they will be primaried. They generally hate him, but don’t want to be the first to attack him. So they say silent, in hopes that when he DOES fall they can say they weren’t fans of him. No…

Incredible, a bill openly opposed by AARP, AMA, ANA, AHA, APHA is about to get passed by Republicans. I thought Republicans LOVED AARP members, and when business conglomerates oppose the Republican law you know it’s gotta be really bad.

Everything in politics cannot be solved by compromise.

Why didn’t you call him?

There’s Ironic apps now?

Woo someone else from Cleveland? UH or CCF or Metro? (UH here)

Obama said that tort reform could cut healthcare costs but he could expect to lose even more votes in Congress to get it passed if he went after that too. What’s the GOP’s excuse?

Sort of. Here’s one hospital’s price list. Insurances will haggle those prices down. Individuals who have no insurance will get a bill for this, but you can also haggle it down based on what you can afford.

The sick thing is that Uber deliberately discourages tipping. Drivers are instructed to refuse tips, and implies that accepting it too readily may be actually bad for your Uber career. You’re ordered to tell all passengers you love working for Uber, and only to accept money if the passenger is insistent. Now they’re…
