Charles Darwin And The Theory Of Evolution

My answer on the theory of evolution is ‘I agree’. I believe our ancestors were ‘ape’ like in term of physical form, what I meant was they are not apes but ape like; this can be seen with every fossil dug up by archeologist. When I said evolve, what I meant was the concept where we (humans) are from a different species as oppose to the ape family and throughout million of years of evolution we ended up looking like what we are now.

It is rather hard not to accept the theory of evolution, knowing very well the absent of human fossil that matches the physical form and shape of today’s human being, where is the missing link? If those apes like fossil are not related to us, what is it then? And what happened to ‘our’ ancestor’s fossil? Remember, your religion may disagree with the theory of evolution and questioned the validity of science, however do note that most religions in the world were wrong about science, not to mention the theory of earth revolving around the sun.

Charles Robert Darwin FRS (12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882) was an English naturalist who realised and demonstrated that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors through the process he called natural selection. The fact that evolution occurs became accepted by the scientific community and much of the general public in his lifetime, while his theory of natural selection came to be widely seen as the primary explanation of the process of evolution in the 1930s, and now forms the basis of modern evolutionary theory. In modified form, Darwin’s scientific discovery is the unifying theory of the life sciences, providing logical explanation for the diversity of life. Source: Wikipedia

Charles Darwin And The Theory Of Evolution

If human beings exist because of God, who created God? If God does exist out of thin air, why can’t we, the humans exist out of thin air without God? This is a chicken and egg question. We have to choose between science and religion, for those aligning themselves towards religion, I suggest you ought to stop accepting the idea where the earth revolve around the sun, and I strongly urge you to retreat back to the jungle and be with mother nature and God, for this a world created with the knowledge of science, not religion.

Look around you, today’s world is in a mess because of religion. Israel-Palestine-Arabs, India-Pakistan, Philipine-MILF, Thailand-South Thailand, Somalia. Communism was God’s answer to a better world; it is us human who abused it because we are selfish.

God, Allah, Tuhan and The Catholic Weekly’s Herald Print

When a blogger lost a comment/argument with her reader, she took the easy path by removing the comment feature. Loser!

Anyway, those who are interested in politics should be aware by now the ongoing court case between the Herald print by the Catholics in Malaysia. To wrap things up, the Herald newspaper is suing the government for not allowing them to use the Arabic word ‘Allah’ in their Malay language section.

The Catholic’s argument for using the ‘Allah’ word instead of ‘Tuhan’ are:

The term Allah has been used in the translated High Malay Bible since the 1800s. “Munshi Abdullah, the father of modern Malay literature, translated the Bible into Malay in 1852 and he also translated ‘God’ as ‘Allah’ so there is strong historical proof of what we have been using for centuries,” said Andrew.

Wikipedia has this to say:

Allah is the standard Arabic word for ‘God.
Use by Muslims as a reference to God, it is used by Arabic-speakers of all Abrahamic faiths, including Christians and Jews, in reference to “God”.
Arab Christians today, having no other word for ‘God’ than Allah, use terms such as Allah al-Ab “God the Father”.

Now, the Herald print for the Malay section is in Bahasa Malaysia, therefore the right word for GOD in Bahasa Malaysia is TUHAN and not ALLAH. If there are no other words or any other alternative, then use the Arabic word ALLAH. I can go on for ages, for three generations, just answer these questions:

Can we change our Rukun Negara from KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA TUHAN to KEPERCAYAAN KEPADA ALLAH? If it is okay, then you have my support.
If you find nothing wrong in using the ALLAH word, I suggest you walk the talk, next time, tell you kids “Pray to Allah for the food on your table.” or “Oh my Allah!” or “In the name of Allah, stop cursing!” Use it in your wedding vows too!
Since mixing Arabic word with the Malay language is acceptable, why not go all the way, amend all the english bibles with the word GOD to ALLAH.
During Sunday prayers, tell your kids :”Pray to Allah” not “Pray to God”

Why, too hard for you to say the ALLAH word in front of your kids? or in church? WALK THE TALK! It is after all okay to use the ‘Allah’ word, right? wrong? I see, problem using it in front of your kids?

Don’t tell me because the English word for GOD exists, therefore we don’t use the word ALLAH in English bibles. The right word for GOD in Bahasa Malaysia is T-U-H-A-N, and not ALLAH. Come on, lets be realistic. The ‘ALLAH’ word refers to the Muslim God more than any other God.

If the bible is in Arabic, by all means use the Arabic word for God – which is ‘Allah’, problem is, it is in Bahasa Malaysia, not Bahasa Arab.

Lots of Christian boycotted the da vinci code movie, when a news reporter interviewed a Christian on his reasons for boycotting the movie, he goes on explaining in details why we should boycott the movie. When asked, “Have you seen the movie in a cinema?” His answer was ‘No’. Don’t you have your own opinion? Instead of digesting every single word said by your priest, go watch the movie and conclude it yourself based on your own views and experience.

I am opinionated, I don’t digest rubbish from politician and religious people blindly. If I intended to leave everything for God to decide, (He is a busy person, serious!) then he would have made me into an Ape. Fate is for animals and none thinking living organism, are you one?

Comments and arguments are encouraged, don’t worry, I won’t be rude when it comes to replying another person’s comment, unlike some ‘holy’ and self proclaimed ‘religious’ person with bad words such as moron, shit, weed. Bad Catholic!
