    A man asked the Prophet, "What sort of deeds or (what qualities of) Islam are good?" The Prophet replied, "To feed (the poor) and greet those whom you know and those whom you do not know."

    "People who have no hold over their process of thinking are likely to be ruined by liberty of thought. If thought is immature, liberty of thought becomes a method of converting men into animals." - Muhammad Iqbal

    Um, this is shear ignorance. Anyone posting such ill-informed rubbish should be ashamed. There is no question at all that all life has evolved. You might not like it, but posting such rubbish does not help you. We did not evolve from living organisms. Anyone who has had basic biology should understand such basic facts. All current life has evolved from predecessors. How far back in time you have to go to find common ancestors of different organisms is reflected by genetic relatedness.

    This belongs in the creationist thread, given how ridiculous it is.

    Humans have evolved from an ape-like ancestor. All evidence indicates it. Deal with it.

    And yes, I realize I am the first person other than you to participate in this pointless thread that is nothing but propaganda.

    If you have any specific objection to anything written in that essay, please share your opinions. Otherwise, spare me the insecure posturing.

    The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. The genetic research and fossil record go hand in hand. It is absolutely pointless to argue with someone who denies the scientific reality of evolution, both human and animal for no other reason than irrational religious belief.

    Yeah except for all the scientists who say otherwise.

    Once upon a time a Russian man sent a letter to his children warning them of one of the dangers of believing that evolution by natural selection is true: it provides no purpose in life.

    His name is Leo Tolstoy.

    He is better known for his famous big fiction book War and Peace.

    He sent a letter to two of his children on November 1st, 1910,

    "The views you have acquired about Darwinism, evolution and the struggle for existence won't explain to you the meaning of your life and won't give you guidance in your actions, and a life without an explanation of its meaning and importance, and without the unfailing guidance that stems from it is a pitiful existence. Think about it. I say it, probably on the eve of my death, because I love you."[1]

    Sure enough, he loved them and he died 19 days after the letter was sent.

    Tolstoy didn't just warn his children about this. He had received two letters from Tarak Das and Tolstoy decided to write a (long) letter called A Letter to a Hindu.

    In it he explains how science (he meant evolution) is trying to destroy religion to replace it with survival of the fittest - the evolutionary idea that the fittest among the race will conquer whoever he wants whilst the unfittest will die under the fittest. It was due to this letter that Mahatma Ghandi knew Tolstoy.

    Darwin to Charles Kingsley 6 February [1862]

    "It is very true what you say about the higher races of men, when high enough, replacing & clearing off the lower races. In 500 years how the Anglo-saxon race will have spread & exterminated whole nations; & in consequence how much the Human race, viewed as a unit, will have risen in rank."

    Why would you argue with a fundamentalist?
