Rara Posted December 6, 2013 If you two want your own thread to debate these issues we can sort that out, otherwise it would be helpful if you both stay on topic otherwise it is inevitably going to quickly turn into pointless trading of insults This happens all the time. I seriously think we should just set up a cage fight to the death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isimsiz Biri Posted December 6, 2013 I am still laughing!!! Haahahahahah. Where did you find it? Anyway, trust me this is not even Tariqa level. In fact, they claim to be Sufis, yet they are not. Unfortunately, charlatans are every where. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isimsiz Biri Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) An interview with Sheik Muzaffer Ozak Al-Jerrahi on April 14, 1983 This interview with Louis Rogers was broadcast from William Paterson College Television Center in April 14, 1983. Sheik Muzaffer Ozak had many trips to US between the years of 1978-84 and introduced the rich legacy of Sufism through many talks and dhikr (rememberence) ceremonies to the West.

RongzomFan Posted December 6, 2013 There are only 3 options, all of which debunk a Creator: 1. Big Bang has no cause. Obviously, there is no Creator here. 2. The Big Bang has causes, which in itself has causes, which in itself has causes etc. There is no place for a Creator in infinite regression of cause and effect. 3. Creator is beyond cause and effect. If Creator is beyond cause and effect, he would have no way of interacting with our physics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Creator is beyond cause and effect, he would have no way of interacting with our physics. Big Bang has a cause. Obviously, there is Creator here There is no infinite regression of cause and effect. Listen to the videos. Our physics is under command of Creator. Yet, our physics is very very undeveloped, not able to understand cosmology of God Almighty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isimsiz Biri Posted December 6, 2013 You just said "Creator created cause and effect." Yes, I said. I know it is difficult for you to understand.
