Religious law is a formal system of morality that rests on system-wide premises, i.e. its scriptures. — alcontali
Islamic scriptures are a wildly incoherent collection of oral transmissions. — Nobeernolife
In the field of psychology, the Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people assess their cognitive ability as greater than it is. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from the inability of people to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.[1] — Wikipedia on the Dunning-Kruger effect
but most true hermaphrodites who are strippers or more are from the Orient — Gregory
While Iran has outlawed homosexuality, Iranian Shi'a thinkers such as Ayatollah Khomeini have allowed for transgender people to change their sex so that they can enter heterosexual relationships. This position has been confirmed by the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and is also supported by many other Iranian clerics.
Iran carries out more sex change operations than any other nation in the world except for Thailand. It is regarded as a cure for homosexuality, which is punishable by death under Iranian law. The government even provides up to half the cost for those needing financial assistance and a sex change is recognized on the birth certificate.[161] — Wikipedia on transgenders in Islam
You know absolutely nothing about the Islamic scriptures. — alcontali
Actually, I have read them all, plus plenty of interpretations by leading clerics (which you admitted to being completely ignorant of). — Nobeernolife
In Islam, the ulama (/ˈuːləˌmɑː/; Arabic: علماء ʿUlamāʾ, singular عالِم ʿĀlim, "scholar", literally "the learned ones",[1] also spelled ulema; feminine: alimah [singular] and uluma [plural])[2] are the guardians, transmitters and interpreters of religious knowledge in Islam, including Islamic doctrine and law.[2]
By longstanding tradition, ulama are educated in religious institutions (madrasas). The Quran and sunnah (authentic hadith), are the scriptural sources of traditional Islamic law.[3] — Wikipedia on the Ulema
he alim and ulema are not a "I'm better" aristocratics? — Gregory
If it is easy to check that a solution to a problem is correct, is it also easy to solve the problem? This is the essence of the P vs NP question. Typical of the NP problems is that of the Hamiltonian Path Problem: given N cities to visit, how can one do this without visiting a city twice? If you give me a solution, I can easily check that it is correct. But I cannot so easily find a solution. — Third millenium prize. One-million dollar prize for a proof why it seems to be like that.

A psychologist would describe Islamic nations as distinct groups of sex addicted workaholics. — Gregory
....and every time I have quoted an islamic scholar, you said you don´t know them and anyway in islam there is no scholarly authority. Go figure. — Nobeernolife
You have a very poor epistemic understanding of what the term "knowledge" means. That is the source of your confusion. The underlying reason for that is that your stint in the liberal arts has totally confused you about what this term is all about. There is technically no knowledge in the liberal arts, because none of its beliefs can be justified. — alcontali
I do not know what you are waffling about about, and I suspect neither are you. — Nobeernolife
You accused me of not knowing islamic scripture and I pointed out I indeed read it. — Nobeernolife
Then you declared only islamic scholare are are able to interpret islamic scriptures (something that you denied earlier). — Nobeernolife

I prophecy that Islamic scholars will keep thinking they are the wisest in their consensuses, but will feel sorrow as their world is left behind — Gregory
After all, you can't even prove there is a God? You tried, you failed. Your only argument was "infinite regress is impossible", which I refute above in this thread — Gregory
As modern science get's more nominalistic, it breaks the spine of Islamic law, which can't handle all the questions that arise in our age. — Gregory

Show me one product, service, or technology in general that depends on evolution theory. Furthermore, in a falsificationist sense, show me even just one experimental test to be carried out in a laboratory in which we would be able to successfully evolve one species out of another. — alcontali

All life on Earth shares a last universal common ancestor (LUCA)[10][11][12] that lived approximately 3.5–3.8 billion years ago.[13] — Wikipedia on Evolution
By analysis of the presumed LUCA's offspring groups, the LUCA appears to have been a small, single-celled organism. — Wikipedia on LUCA
Speciation is the evolutionary process by which populations evolve to become distinct species. — Wikipedia on speciation
It has been suggested that laboratory experiments are not conducive to vicariant speciation events (allopatric and peripatric) due to their small population sizes and limited generations.[2] Most estimates from studies of nature indicate that speciation takes hundreds of thousands to millions of years.[3] — Wikpedia on laboratory speciation
