What about the people who havent witnessed or seen or heard of a prophet or anything
one should read the story of prophet Musa and how he realize about Creator
the whole idea of prophethood is to that there is a Creator and that we believe in Him
There will be a day when all of our deeds will be judged based on our understanding and our environment (culture etc)..present ur case there and goto jannah if u havent done any 'chalaki' u definitely will go to jannah
No worries man....was just curious. I myself dont deny evolution. I have seen so many things evolve/change in my own short life...so imagine how much must have evolved in million years. At the same time, I'm a Muslim and believe in God.
There is an interesting way of looking at this. Believing in God (peacefully) does have a pro. We are all eventually gonna die. If God does exist and if there is a day of judgment then we pass. If not then nothing to lose.
I disagree that Pascal's wager protects you in any way. In fact, belief in an afterlife changes your complete outlook about life. Your priorities in life change. If you think there is no afterlife, then you start valuing your life and time here more. You work towards making this world better for your next generations etc. You devote your time towards finding the actual history of your origins. Otherwise, you believe that you already know where you came from and orient your habits/time in the direction that you believe will be valued in the afterlife as this world is going to end anyway.
A lot of people think only evolution debunks religion. However, this is not the case. Evolution just debunks Adam & Eve story. For Abrahamic religions, historical facts and archaeology debunk stories and characters in the scripture quite convincingly too. Moses, Noah, Daud, Suleiman, all have been established to be fictional characters now. More so, it's also been established now that Mary didn't give a virgin birth to Jesus after the discovery of an original manuscript of bible which was wrongly translated by some translator to virgin and subsequent copies continued making the same mistake. :LOL: So 2013 onwards versions of bible don't write her as virgin anymore. And the list goes on...
