There are religious zealots who insist on a puritanical interpretation of just about every topic being discussed.
while being convinced themselves that theirs is the only way to true salvation.
If it were so important to follow the only path to salvation, why would Allah, the most beneficent and merciful, create all this diversity of color, thought, religion and country to begin with?
After all, the many wonders of his creation, from galaxies down to microbes, all show a harmonious existence with all their diversity, so why not human beings, the epitome of his creation?
Not true at all. In my case, the more i question the more i understand. If you ask me it takes a greater leap of faith to believe that billions of years ago...there was a rock of glowing magma and fire called earth.....several billions of years later....it started raining "water". And suddenly a few million years later "life" came about. Then this life became fish....the fish grew legs....fish becomes animals and then we get dinosaurs....then there was this monkey who became man...If you want to believe in God, don't ask questions. If you start asking questions, you'll stop believing in him. There is a reason for blasphemy law's existance.
Your posts carries a reasonable degree of mockery but anyway , lets answer one thing at a time. First of all i am no authority on Islam and im not the most knowledgeable person you will come across when it comes to Islam. Secondly , you don't have to take what someone else tells you. You must use your own critical thinking , others can just explain but you are the one who must make sense out of it.
No , there is more than one way to salvation , this debate has been done with Agnosticmuslim before too. I am no authority to give you an answer , since your mind by now , right the moment when you are reading this sentence would already have "painted" me as a "religious zealous" in your mind. So i will let Quranic reference explain to you.
.............................
Question of harmony is a confusing one as you are arguing on two different arguments here , first the path to salvation and second the harmony amongst humanity or universal integration ?? IF you could explain the second bit , i might be able to give some ideas.
Cheers.

I wanted to ask a serious question with the hope of a polite and substantive discussion.

Now tell me, which is more believable?...That we are product of intelligent design...or that we are simply an anomaly ? An atheist is a man of greater faith than a man of religion. It takes a HUGE leap of faith to believe what they do...
I believe my religion ( Christianity ) to be true. Another one would stake it all on Islam...so on and so forth.
Not agreed regarding this post...Your posts carries a reasonable degree of mockery but anyway
So you would rather believe Eve was made from Adam's rib than theory of evolution. I agree that it is a fancier story than theory of evolution but that does not make it true. The creators of religions could have been Issac Asimovs of their time . But still they could not foresee or take into account a LOT of things. example: a world with electricity . That's a pretty basic thing to miss. Don't you think so?

Not agreed regarding this post...
He has already told what he think , asking again would lead to cross religious debate ,
Its good sign that ppl start healthy debate without mocking or fighting each other and even tolerate each others point of view (even cross religion).
Basic topic was only to one specific religion Islam we better stay on topic.
I didn't ask him what he thinks. I have a pretty good idea.
Lets stay on the topic . Does islam talk about a world with electricity and internet? Why doesn't Quran talk beyond camels, dates and desert? Why not about kangaroos or walruses, which are not in Arabia? He should have known about their existence right? This is a serious question.
