A Cosmos Without Beginning

Although I first asked, "Where did the universe come from?" and "Where did God come from?", when I was just a child, I never entertained the notion that the universe has always been here; despite, at one time, believing that God had always been here. When I realized that the two questions were interchangeable, it didn't seem so odd to think the universe had always been here.

I thought about that for awhile and realized that creation is an illusion. Nothing is ever created.…

Humor: One Texas Soldier

A large group of Taliban soldiers are moving down a road when they hear a voice call from behind a sand-dune. "One Texas soldier is better than ten Taliban". The Taliban commander quickly sends 10 of his best soldiers over the dune whereupon a gun-battle breaks out and continues for a few minutes, then silence.

The voice then calls out "One Texan is better than one hundred Taliban". Furious, the Taliban commander sends his next best 100 troops over the dune and instantly a huge… Continue

Humor: Osama in Hell

Osama bin Laden has a heart attack and dies. He immediately goes to hell, where Satan is waiting for him.

"I don't know what to do here," says Satan. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you. You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do: I've got a couple of folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Osama bin Laden thought that sounded pretty… Continue

Humor: Saudi Airlines

A mother had three daughters and, on each daughter's wedding, she tells each one to write back about their married life. To avoid possible embarrassment to their new husbands by openly discussing their love-lives, the mother and daughters agree to use newspaper advertisements as a code to say how things are going.

The first one gets married and the next day a letter arrives with the single line: MAXWELL COFFEE HOUSE! The mother gets the newspaper and finds the advert for Maxwell… Continue

Humor: The Big Debate

Back ten centuries ago, the Pope decided that all the Muslims had to leave Jerusalem. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Muslim community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate with a member of the Muslim community. If the Muslim won the debate, all the Muslims could stay. If the Pope won, all the Muslims would have to leave.

The Muslims realised that they had no choice. They looked around for a champion who could defend their faith, but no one wanted…

Humor: Muhammad in Highest Heaven

A Muslim dies and finds himself before the Pearly Gates. He is very excited, as all his life he has longed to meet the Prophet Mohammad. Having arrived at the Gates of Heaven, he meets a man with a beard.

"Are you Mohammad?" he asks.

"No, my son. I am Peter. Mohammad is higher up." he said, pointing to a ladder that rises into the clouds.

Delighted that Mohammad should be higher than Peter, he climbs the ladder in great strides, climbs through the clouds coming… Continue

Freedom of Speech is an Attack on Islam?

Those who claim that Western and Islamic values are compatible should really take a closer look at what Muslims actually preach. They preach an inflexible, self-serving, inverted form of intolerance masquerading as tolerance. Did you know that Islam is a religion of peace that you’re required to respect, whether or not you’re a Muslim? That’s right. So, if you criticize Islam, the Qur’an or Muhammad, it’s your fault if you’re killed for it. Such disrespect is an incitement to violence and any… Continue

Mainstream Mumbai Muslims More Moderate?

In an AFP article (Mumbai's Muslims distance themselves from attacks), dated December 5th, 2008, it appears that Muslims, at least in Mumbai, are moving to a more progressive, moderate, stance on Jihadis (otherwise known as terrorists). They’ve held peace marches and canceled an Eid-al-Adha rally and “toned down” other Eid celebrations, all in the interest of “disassociating” from last November’s Muslim attacks on over 10 Hindu targets across Mumbai. Many Muslims are even refusing to allow… Continue

Creation and the conservation of energy

Creation stories are universal among religions, through the ages. The ineffable mystery of life compelled us to explain our existence. In our primitive ignorance of the world, religion was the best we could do to provide the explanations we craved.

Thanks to science, we’re learning more about the universe and illuminating the dark corners of what was once our ignorance.

The word, "create", means: to bring into existence. Thus, if God created the universe, it had a…
