Just because we can’t bring God here and show u (then only you will agree it seems), you can’t say blind faith, it is the faith that God ask us to use our common sense and decide our self, for my common sense it is clicking, and not to your common sense. Even if I am in neutral position and not the follower of Quran and 2 options r available to choose 1)- God exist, and it is clearly mentioned in all the scriptures 2)- God is not exist, all the creatures came in to exist by nature. Still I will go with option 1 as something can’t create itself. Everything has to have a producer/manufacturer. Of course for a bollywood film you can make a story of your so called “sensible sense” in which everything creates itself and no manufacture/creator is required. In that case the computer which you are now using should manufacture itself, and hopefully Bill Gates role is not required.

That is your problem. We don't trust the theory of everything was made by an invisible person up in the sky. Both of them are theories.
Though it is a faith, we have a guide of scriptures which say everything from A to Z, someone neither brought a book like that nor found any mistake in that except allegation which proved to be incorrect. So immediate choice is it should be a divine book, whatever mentioned in that should be correct. Moreover Quran speak abt hundred of things that were not known to men at the time of its revelation The only logical answer to the question as to who could have mentioned all these scientific facts 1400 years ago before they were discovered, is exactly the same answer initially given by the atheist or any person, to the question who will be the first person who will be able to tell the mechanism of the unknown object. It is the ‘CREATOR’, the producer, the Manufacturer of the whole universe and its contents. In the English language He is ‘God’, or more appropriate in the Arabic language, ‘ALLAH’

Yeah right. Tell that to the people who are suffering from the floods in pakistan. Perfect indeed. This is again truth covered by blind faith. You cannot see the flows in the world, if you see one you will look in the quran and try to give a meaning to that flow. You cannot see beyond that.
it can be new to you, but as a muslim I read quran which speaks about testing and punishing the people etc. it happened even to prophets and their generation, disasters never kept free any of the any generation. Further only if there are no floods in the world I may say God & quran is wrong.

How does this extraordinary ecological balance exist on earth?
Really? And that's a proof of GODs existence? This is some logic beyond me.
What you mean to say logic beyond you .are u writing simply to refute the questions.

And a person who is not blinded by faith will only seek to see beyond what's been written in a book and see the truth. He who is fueled by blind faith will never see it pass a point, no matter how much he tries. Like in your case.
A person who is sensitive to what is happening around him will see, all the flows in the so called design, The evil around us, crimes done in the name of GOD and realize the whole concept is not logical. But a person who is following a book no matter how many contradictions he sees in it, is governed by blind faith and is not sensitive to what is happening at all. All he is sensitive is to what the book teaches him.
Again you are repeating the word blind faith, so what is your agenda here. We don’t need to see what is happening around the world that is man made things. It’s nothing to do with God. Again you are talking abt contradiction, if we find contradiction OK, if we don’t find what we can do except following the same God’s revelation concretely.

No, with that argument I was pointing out the error in your example, comparing Moscow to GOD. And with your answer you verifies this error by saying the comparison of moscow(Seen in TV,Internet) to GOD is ridicules. I wonder whether you can come out of the limited thinking you are used to and see how ridiculous it looks.
It seems you have no answers for my counter reply, only now you wanted to tell my earlier argument is wrong. Infact, I wanted to tell you that even unseen object can exist. But as per you, you will trust only upon watching on TV, internet or meet the people who was there. suppose you were living some 200 or 300 years back, if someone say Moscow doesn’t exist, what is your answer would have been? Coz that time, you didn’t have TV, Internet and very rarely people move to the countries. like that as of now even scientist are not sure about God exist just because it is beyond their knowledge, but they never denied God exist at the sametime..may be in the future inshallah as it is the quran, even science may prove about God, hell, heaven & day of judgment days etc.

To understand GOD you must come out of your think box and walk in my shoes. But you can never do that coz your thinking is limited. I can think from a theistic and atheistic view that is why I know what is real. You are taught to learn the same thing from the day that you were born and you cannot really understand anything beyond that. That is why you see whatever that does not align with your thinking is ridiculous. You cannot think past a point because even to doubt your GOD is a sin. So you are forever trapped in that small box.
You can understand from my above reply that my thinking is not limited; I told you many things above. Again your allegations are same. if I am born and taught from the start same thing it doesn’t justify anything, then what happened to thousands of people who reverted to Islam from different faith. Another addition to your silly points.

Now if you want to come to the original topic of the thread, I do not believe in Allah. I believe in FSM and I say he is the creator of the universe, all powerful OMNIMAX GOD. Your GOD is false. How do you prove he is not? (I'm assuming because its said in your book?)
It’s simple. I told you in my past reply that to judge God we have four definitions, if your God is matching with this four definition yes it is God, otherwise it is ceased to be god. Come on man this doesn’t required to be mentioned in my book, common sense. GOD cant be more than one, should not die, begets not nor he begotten and we can’t compare anything to him. Same thing is mentioned in Quran as well as below.
"Say: He is Allah, the One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. "He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him." [Al-Qur’an 112:1-4]
