ok u praise these scientists for bieng pragmatic and claim that religion is dogmatic. u are a WALKING CONTRADICTION abti.... i mean come on.... who is more dgmatic than U. i have seen u bad mouth religon soooo many times, it seems to be the only thing u do. u shove u'r anti-religious feelings down ppl's throwts every chance u get.[/quote]
What contradiction? I'm not dogmatic at ALL cause the moment there is evidence showing my believes to be wrong, I'll accept what the evidence shows is right. You as a muslim must always believe what Allah said even if there is evidence pointing to the contrary, if not then you're not a muslim.
I don't bad mouth your religion...that is just your perception of my actions. I give my honest opinions of articles posted here in general section. The reason they are posted is to show that Islam is the true religion to muslims AND nonmuslims like me. You would like me to read them, right? So I do but often I disagree with what those posts say and say so. If you don't like what I have to say in reply to those posts, then don't read them or get articles that I'll have no choice but to agree with.

[quote]cos i couldn't find the answers in the last issue of since i couldn't find them in the last issue of science weekly[/quote]
don't expect science to answer you questions like 'purpose of life' cuz that is meaningless question. To ask such question assumes that life was CREATED for a purpose but since life came about through Evolution, it doesnt have a purpose other intrinsic individual defined one.
