To praise Allah and his prophet Mohammed, peace be upon them.

Samak - “To praise Allah and his prophet Mohammed, peace be upon them.”

I don't know if this is a wind up or not. I'm going to assume it isn't...

There were people on planet Earth before Mohammed was born in approximately 570 AD – or if your prefer – 1441 years ago. In fact, there were people in existence long before the religion of Islam was created. There is evidence of 'proto-writing' going back at the very least 9,000 years ago and humans in their present form (homo-erectus) have been around for approximately 400,000 years. Your assertion that humans are 'here' in order to praise Allah (specifically the Islamic God) has some quite large logical hoops to jump through in order to prove itself true.

We are here on this tiny, spinning ball of rock, orbiting a yellow dwarf star which is approximately 30,000 light years from the centre of the galaxy we call and Milky Way; which is only one of billions of galaxy's out there in the known universe.

To believe that an Almighty Creator who has the ability to conjure up an entire universe filled with galaxies, stars, pulsars, black-holes, planets, moons, asteroids, continents, mountain ranges, elephants, giraffes, monkeys, cats, ants, nematode worms, viruses, atoms, electrons, leptons, quarks, bosons, etc. and yet takes a very real personal interest in you specifically is an overt display of extreme arrogance and wishful thinking.

Even if there is a supreme being (which I don't believe there is) it's highly unlikely, given the size of the universe, that He is remotely interested in you.

Oh dear, Birdie, you don't half fall for it.

[soaps]

We were planted here by aliens, (some people call them God) , It's like our people went to the moon and planted seeds there, we're still waiting for the results, it may take 100's of years before we see any progress there.

[soaps]

Thats what I believe anyway, We're just an expreimant (SP)

[beso]

The Earth is a set for an alien soap opera. It became a big hit after they introduced religion because it ensured constant conflict to keep the plot rolling along.

[soaps]

I think we introduced religion ourselves,

[Craftypig]

We are on Earth because it has all the necessary ingredients to support life, surely?

Mike11111 - “Oh dear, Birdie, you don't half fall for it.”

This from a man who believes in a version of Christianity that only exists because someone made it up to enable him to get a divorce? And you accuse me of falling for an obvious deceit? Astonishing!
