  • Here is a simple question. Why did Iblis disobey god and choose not to bow to Adam? I know the reason given is that Iblis was too arrogant and thought Adam was not worthy...but think about it. God must have created iblis. Did iblis have the freedom of choice? I thought freedom of choice was God's purpose in creating man? Did God create iblis knowing he would disobey God? Did god create iblis to disobey? I hope this question is making sense to people...and hopefully someone can post some links or t... Read More

    May 4, 2005 at 9:13pm
    yeah myst...that's the 'regular' interpretation of the tree story. Iblis tempted them by saying the tree will grant them knowledge. THe key about the story is GOD didn't s...
 
  • OK, I have heard numerous different things when it comes to protein consumption: 1) Your body can ONLY consume 25-35 grams every 2 hours or so. 2) Your body can take as much NATURAL protein, meaning if you are eating foods such as chicken, steak, or fish, that it is given. 3) Your body can ONLY consume 25-35 grams of artificial protein every few hours or so. It can take in as much as you feed it if coming from a natural source. So, those are the 3 main ideologies I have heard about protein since act... Read More

  • I am in the process of reading four books AT THE SAME TIME! i'm thinking its perhaps because I tend to get really sad whenever i come to the end of a book, especially if it's a good one. For example, I recently finished "Candy Freak" by Steve Almond, a hilarious Charlie and the Chocolate Factory type-ish read. Does anyone else have trouble finishing books once they've started reading em? I'm currently working on two Malcolm Gladwell books ("The Tipping Point" and "Blink"), "The Wisdom of Crowds," and "Mo... Read More

  • hear ye, hear ye. i understand that the ruling in islam on abortions is that they are forbidden unless the mothers life is at stake. is this correct and are there no other circumstances in which a woman could abort a baby? what about in the case of rape? what about if that rape was statutory rape? i ask this because... in florida--yes, jeb bush and his mighty bunch are trying to invade personal liberties once again--there is a 13 year old girl who is pregnant. she happens to also be a ward of ...

    May 4, 2005 at 6:07am
    might want to check this - but even in the case of rape I believe the abortion has to be done in the first trimester, ie, the time before Allah blows a soul into the fetus.
