It's Odin.

Pagan Viking God.

I inherited the bust from my sister. I think it's of the old man of the sea. It used to have a pipe, but it broke off, so I rolled a cigarette and stuck it in the hole, half smoked.

The existence of everything provides no evidence for anything. Apparently.
"The existence of everything", including human consciousness, can be seen as evidence of a creator entity. I certainly think it's the strongest evidence that theists have.

But is there any evidence at all? Forget whether you think it’s credible
"Evidence" that Gabriel met Muhammad? It's in the Islamic "holy scriptures".


@pb1022 said
And if they’re gonna make that claim about their text(s) being “divinely inspired,” they should be able to back it up.
Why do they have to do that? Why must it be "backed up" to your satisfaction? You have your faith, they have theirs.


@fmf said
You are just curious what the "evidence" is that Gabriel met Muhammad? Well, it's in their religious text. That, in and of itself, is "evidence" is it not?
Who wrote their religious text? Upon what was the alleged meeting between Gabriel and Muhammad based? Only Muhammad’s say so?


@josephw said
That's really sad FMF.

I thought of something comical to say about that, but it's just too sad a thing to joke about.
Romans1009: What’s the evidence for the alleged event that defines Islam?

FMF: There is no "evidence" that persuades me.

josephw: That's really sad FMF.

What does it matter? If it is, as Muslims believe, "divinely inspired", it matters not if it does not persuade non-Muslims.

I see you’re starting to whizz in the pool. That didn’t take long.

It’s what you do whenever you’re losing an argument and getting flustered and upset.

You made the same post twice within 30 seconds.

That's not a bad start.

I'll refrain from using scripture and appeal to reason and logic on a philosophical platform, but not on science.

If all that exists; space, matter and time, suddenly ceased to exist, what would remain?

I’m responding and posting in the context of the OP. You seem to have drifted well afield of it.

I’m trying to focus your attention on the OP.

It isn't a "start". I have been sharing this perspective with you for more than 12 years.
