The Qur’an says ‘No, it was an impostor’ (paraphrase), but even secular historians at the time record it, and the authorities would have recaptured Him if they thought he had gotten out of the crucifixion, unless they were afraid.

I have heard the same from those of Islam - that the Christians spout lies about Mohammad and the Qur’an. I would suggest that your answer is to be found through intense study and prayer, and not through radical speech from either side.
I have done and am continuing to do research for my own quest, and have firmly come to believe that Jesu is indeed the Messiah for you and me. Do not misunderstand, THERE IS ONE GOD!

IT SEEMS THAT there is a bit of a misunderstanding on the full implications of the 2nd Law: It is not just about heat flow, but also about complexity. Things in this particular universe do not tend to move toward increasing complexity, but instead tend to go the other way (entropy). It has been shown that our DNA, due to the cosmic rays of the sun and other problems, is losing alleles (parts), causing more health problems and defects. Please don’t confuse micro-evolution (which absolutely occurs) with MACRO-evolution, which has never been seen/proven/evidenced. This is why we do not have millions of transitional fossils that would confirm macro-evolution. Many adaptations (like better oxygen usage) are simply embedded in the DNA and are not used until needed.
The problem has always been (more…)
