Default Can anyone tell us about the future???

Can any man tells us what will happen after a day from now ? or a year ? or after 100 years from now ??

If not

how come Quraan told us 1400 years ago about things that are happening now ???

unless Quraan is the talk of God him self who know what was there before and what will happen in the future.

how come Arabs who were the best human in Arabic couldn't come up with one page that is similar to Quraan (continuous miracle)

because the talk of God is not like the talk of his creatures and they can't write something that will be even close to what God said.

and ect....


there is God and he is watching us

our life cycle is short ... from 70-100 (approximately)

and during this time of our life’s we are under a test .... are we good during that time ... or bad...

good people will be rewarded

bad people will be punished

and who will do this

the Creator

God himself

I'm more of a fan of George Carlin to be honest. He sums up my thoughts beautifully

You have your viewpoint and I have mine.......

Throughout the centuries, many people have claimed to be able to tell the future, Nostradamus springs to mind immediately...

The problem with all these 'predictions' is that they are not black and white. I believe someone can tell the future if they give a date in time, a place in time and an unequivocal description of what will happen. Any forms of prediction I am aware of (and I include holy writings in this) are written in such a way that there is too much latitude given to the reader to 'pin' a particular writing to one event or another.

Having never read the Koran, I cannot comment on what it says..

All I Know is that the christian bible admits on the very first page that it is not the Word Of God...

In big bold letters, it states that it is the King James version of the word of God....

Why should I believe someone's idea of what was actually meant than anothers..

There, people, is the crux of the problem. No religious writings that I know of have undeniable proof of their authenticity as the actual Word Of God...

Also, the Prophecies of Nostradamus, the I Ching, the Kabbala and readers of palms, coffee grounds and chicken entrails and let us not forget physicists (but only within the bounds of accuracy dictated by Heisenberg's uncertainty principle & the butterfly effect of chaos theory).....

I'm still sure that the 'Doc' could tell us a few tales...

because it would become a collectors item.

plus he bought his from John Delorean because he knew it would have a secret stash of money and coke in it!
