Saado is the heroine of Somali music. I don't think it's even fair to mention Nimco Dareen in this thread because they are just world apart -- and by this I don't mean in terms of political opinions (I know very little of this) but rather in terms of the singers they are. It's a shame that many people from the North dislike her for her association with SSC; I guess sometimes history can be easily forgotten.

'My Native Land' - Sir Walter Scott. Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd, As home his footsteps he hath turn'd From wandering on a foreign strand! If such there breathe, go, mark him well; For him no Minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim; Despite those titles, power, and pelf, The wretch, concentred all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust, from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung.

One basing his decision on such an excercise is chasing shadows. Okay, it makes sense. But I've a question. Isn't the fact that it can't be seen, heard, or scientifically proven enough of a justification on the sceptic's behalf for not believing? In other words, couldn't this admission be used to epistemologically justify atheism? Most of the classical arguments against atheism rested on the assumption that God can be proven. Hmm.

Keyser Soze;759508 wrote: ... Your argument failed at the first instance you used the atom analogy. I think it will waste both my time and yours to go on about such a dead-end argument. Besides, the example of a patient praying then getting healed doesn't prove God's existence under 'appropriate conditions'. Inference of God's existence from such a case would be a logical fallacy -- I'm sure many reasonable nomads will agree.

aero;759505 wrote: I'm not the claimant. You aren't making any sense, my friend. You said 'I very much know He exist and I am absolutely satisfied to have Him as my Creator and Sustainer.' That in fact makes you more than a claimant with regards to God's existence, whereas I haven't made any claims as of yet. But this is not the issue. The issue I tried to raise with you, and which you have terribly failed to understand, is that it isn't fair to consider the question of whether there are disproofs for God's existence without asking the twin question of whether there are any proofs for His existence -- and I have been more than generous here, ignoring the classical epistemic burden.

No, atoms can be observed under appropriate laboratory conditions. aero;759501 wrote: In the lovely words of Phillip E Johnson, "as a theist I believe that God exists and that God creates." Reference the above reply. That isn't an answer as to whether there is a proof for God's existence.

aero;759458 wrote: Dare I ask, is there any "proof" disproving the existence of God? If so, I'd like to know. While you're at it, it would be fair to also ask whether there's any proof of God's existence.

Che -Guevara;758477 wrote: No one say except Nur is more dedicated to God and religion than JB. It's amazing how much of his time it occupies and the near obsession is beyond belief. What's the cause of this restlessness? The Japanese philosopher Keiji Nishitani wrote in his Religion and Nothingness: "Whether the life we are living will end up in extinction or in the attainment of eternal life is a matter of utmost importance for life itself." It appears atheists in general agree with this statement. A while ago I remember reading about a study which showed that atheists know more about religion than believers.

Therefor this system is a crime, a crime against humanity. Comarable with Apartheid. All Somali's should denounce this system and it should never again be introduced in whatever institution. Siilaanyo would have said, waaaa uuffff.
