Refuting Hinduism: Widow Burning/Sati

  Sati/Widow-Burning in Hinduism Many radical Indian Hindus on Quora have been constantly blabbering about how Islam is a cult, how it is immoral, how eid causes mess and violence, etc. Little do they know the flaws with Hinduism. Where do Hindu scriptures mention Sati? Dharmashastras Parashar 4.28  - A widow, who immolates herself on the same funeral pile with her deceased husband, resides in heaven for ten millions of years, which is the number of hairs on the human body. Brihaspati 24.11  - A wife is considered half the body (of her husband), equally sharing the result of his good or wicked deeds; whether she ascends the pile after him, or chooses to survive him leading a virtuous life, she promotes the welfare of her husband. Vishnu 25.14  - After the death of her husband, to preserve her chastity, or to ascend the pile after him.

Proofs for Islam: DMT

  DMT in the Qur’an The Qur’an correctly describes the experience of death, also mentioning DMT. … DMT was researched extensively in the 20th Century, the Quran’s knowledge of it in the 7th Century, proves it is authored by a deity no less than  God. … DMT (dimethyltryptamine) is the most power hallucinogenic substance known to man. It’s endogenous (naturally produced in the body), and is suggested to be mass synthesized by the body during death. According to Timmermann et al., a significant amount of user reports on the experience of DMT include feelings of entering a different realm, encountering mystical beings, and “ego death” (feeling detached from the self and the material world). . What does this have to do with the Quran?  Well, there’s a peculiar verse in Surah Qaf about dying: Note the word intoxication.

Refuting Atheism: Two Interesting Arguments for God

  Thomas Aquinas' “First Cause” argument: (P1) In the physical world, we find that physical things come in series. (P2) A series of physical things cannot regress infinitely. (P3) Therefore, there must have been a first, immaterial, necessarily existing cause (from 1 & 2). (C) So, God exists (from 3) .. “Nomological Argument” by Prof. Hildebrand: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/nous.12364 According to the Nomological Argument, observed regularities in nature are best explained by an appeal to a supernatural being. A successful explanation must avoid two perils. Some explanations provide too little structure, predicting a universe without regularities. Others provide too much structure, thereby precluding an explanation of certain types of lawlike regularities featured in modern scientific theories. We argue that an explanation based in the creative, intentional action of a supernatural being avoids these two perils whereas leading competitors do not.
