If everyone just studied science, then the world would be a better place.
I am a science freak. I am serious, I think I spend half my day reading science papers, or new NASA discoveries. Do you know I love NASA and their discoveries a little too much? I lurk on this amazing website called NASA. Yes, I am a geek, but I don’t care. We geeks will rule the world one day, and it will become a better place.
I know there are far too many stereotypes that scientists are Atheists. I doubt that the majority are. I think scientists use their knowledge and try to discover new things to explain God’s creations. What puzzles me is this evolution crap, but I think some species evolved for a reason, and got extinct to make room for us new intelligent people called human beings, or scientifically, Homo Sapiens to exist. There are a lot of debates on the whole story of Adam and Eve. I know it is true, and I believe that humans came into existence on this earth not too long ago. However, I do believe that the earth is millions of years old, I won’t deny that, but humans are not so old, and we did not evolve from anything. We are perfect because God wanted us to be that way.
I don’t want to get into a debate about evolution here, but more a genetic discussion and racism. Last night, I watched this documentary about racism and why it is such a problem, and really there is no basis for it. The problem was this guy named Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778). He created the modern taxonomy of species and gave each organism a name, and placed them in groups and subgroups. However, you cannot put humans in groups and subgroups. There is hardly a genetic variation between humans to do that. That’s how racism started, it’s all cause of this guy.
Obviously, scientists now a days are a bit smarter. Human to human genetic variation is estimated to be at least 0.5% (99.5% similarity). How can you classify humans in different categories then? Is it because of that phenotype variation? That skin colour? What if I would tell this next idiot that comes to my site, “well, genetically, I am 99.5% like you. Will you still hate me for being that close to you?”
This post was inspired from some idiots on Entrecard who rejected a site exchange with me because they think my site is “violent.” Why can’t they be a little straightforward and say they rejected me because I am an “Arab?”
Listen to this beautiful poem, “And Still I Rise,” by Maya Angelou.

Mona,
There is an ayat (verse) in the Quran (71:14) that says “…We created man in stages”. Now some people originally thought that that meant in the womb (and it may still) but some others have started speculating that it could be tied with the creation of human beings in general…or it could be a statement for both. It might help to look at the context of the other verses, which I didn’t do. Anyhoo, just my 2 cents.
@IO – that means womb. I highly believe that, and I doubt it has anything to do with evolution. If you believe that, then you are contradicting the rest of the Quran, and the story of Adam and Eve. The creationist story. Please don’t go spread that idea to people. It is wrong!
remember mona, that allah is al-basra, the evolver, and can do anything that he sees fit in order to evolve his habilis/erectus/neanderthalis into homo sapiens sapiens. just so you know where im coming from i also believe in adam and eve for the main reason that it makes us all brothers and sisters and completely eradicates this blood lineage fight which some people think is very important. you know that whole blue blood thing. so if we all have a common ancestor then we should be at peace and xenophobia should no longer quarry our little macaroon sized minds. the one quip i have with the adam and eve story is that all of the different sub-species do look different and if we were to have a common ancestor would we all have the same looks? i have read the sumerian texts and it is stated that adam and eve were created along with a handful of others. we must all trust the notions in our gut, and what is truth will reveal itself to us.
@Brian – I stated that I believe things evolved over time and then became extinct for a reason. When that extinction happened, and when humans came to be is unknown. However, I do not think it is too long ago that that happened. If we all evolved from something older than humans like you stated, then there would have been a genetic variation in humans. A trace of pre-historic lineage that makes our species different within it self. However, there isn’t.
Moreover, people, seriously, I did not intend this post to be about evolution. So spare me your debates, because I am not convinced that easily, and I read a lot of papers about it. They are all theories.
It intrigues me how unusually fantastic scientists can still be overwhelmed by tales from an old book, imposed since birth, without question, by definition.
Wow.
true.
lol tales from a book…..ur “wow” is trying to tell us we’re wrong and ur right…lol…..
wow…
spare us ur dumb ridicule..
