اس ذات کو خدا ہی کیوں تصور کیا جائے؟ ایلینز کیوں نہیں؟ کچھ اور کیوں نہیں؟[/SIZE]
In that case, another question would come to mind... where did aliens come from?
سائنس نے کبھی یہ نہیں کہا کہ خدا ہے- یہ سادہ کاسمالوجیکل دلیل پھر خود خدا کے وجود کو ہی چیلنج کر دیتی ہے اگر کچھ خود بخود وجود میں نہیں آتا تو خدا کہاں سے وجود میں آ گیا؟

Science did not say that God does not exist... If science would not know about a something, would one believe that that certain thing does not exist?
For instance, 100 years ago when Einstein published his General theory of relativity and gave the idea of the existence of gravitational waves which could be proved at his times.... would people mock him by telling that it does not exist? It took 100 years to prove that. Why would we be so sure that God does not exist?
Isn't it be so that it's science not advance enough to prove it?
It does not mean that science has not made any attempts to address this question of the origin of life and the existence of a super being who created this universe. Recently, there has been a progress in terms of religiosity.
Qura'n asks you to think and search. Isn't Allah invite you to think and understand....as stated in Quran in multiple places " ...indeed there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
IMO belief is not what you heard from your elders and reproduce it as it without even think... I would rather call it TAQLEED not belief.
فاطمہ یہ تو قرآن کے بڑے تضادات میں سے ایک تضاد ہے- ایک طرف یہ کہا کہ معجزہ نہیں ہے اور دوسریطرف جہاں مناسب سمجھا معجزے کا ذکر بھی کر دیا- دونوں ہی گھر رہ گئے- چاند کو دو ٹکڑے کرنا کیا تھا ؟سورت القمر آیات ١-٢ But if they see a Sign, they turn away, and say, "This is (but) transient magic

I would not call it contradiction in Qura'n... rather these are the contradiction because of the interpretations of these revelations by different mindset. People translated and interpreted these revelations 1400 years ago who can't be taken as seriously as our mullahs do.
As I stated above that the problems started where Islamic clergy started following the doctrine of Taqleed. As we all all know that there do exist two major groups... AlGhazali_Nizami group.. who were the flag bearers of Taqleed and who'd ridicule the idea of free thinking. They were powerful and had the govt approval thus publish much stuff to articulate their point. They established the madrassha system of Dars-eNizam, hence followed by many.
Another group was of Ibn-e Rushd who'd promote free thinking, reasoning, logic etc. Most of the scientist and great thinker belonged to this group including Ibn-e-Sina, Al-kandi, Ibnul-Haithum etc. This group had to go through persecution and their work has been destroyed and most of them were either killed or prisoned as they were posing high threats to typical-mulla clergy who were enjoying the state benefits.
The point is there is no contradiction in Quran but in our understanding of qura'n.PERIOD

In the same vein, one can ask where’d God come from. Who created him?
Isn't it be so that it's science not advance enough to prove it?
Or maybe its all a lie. Religions can easily be proved lies. YOU KNOW RELIGION IS A LIE. But you just dont wanna admit it because of the hardwired fear. If Reason is to apply, Religions are fabricated and false. Science may not have the ability to remove FEAR from your mind and thus negate the existence of someone or something that caused this Universe but Science has proved that Religions and Religious Books are neither Divine nor out of this World. Half of Quran has no logic or even historical importance. Rest half has been proved false by Science.

Another contradiction of Quran. On one hand it says that you Must Not question any beliefs or any set of laws or any word uttered by Prophet SAW and Quran which was again revealed on Prophet SAW and on the other hand it tells you to THINK?
Think what? Think what, when I cannot question and defy faith and religious laws? How very ironic!
Leeza, do you know that it was forbidden by Prophet SAW to study other religions? Its in Sahih Ahadith.
Islam puts a practical ban on THINKING!
" ...indeed there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding”.
These kind of verses exist in every Religious Scripture. Dont know why you quote them. You quote these verses as if they carry off a greatest wisdom. No they don't!

How very reassuring!
That's the only excuse of all the Quranic contradictions. “Oh’ yeah’ it's just interpretation”. No, its not just interpretation. These contradictions EXIST in Quran which is claimed to be a Divine Book. Its not just a matter of interpretation. And those who interpreted Quran they were the ones who were companions of Prophet SAW. Were they wrong? Ibn Abbas? Ibn Ishaq? Ibn Ishaq was not a Sahabi but he was the third generation that directly interacted with and heard from Sahaba or kids of Sahaba. Are you refuting their assertions and understanding?
The point is there is no contradiction in Quran but in our understanding of qura'n
