Why would you make your family do something against their will What? If you grew up having someone breathing down your neck and making you pray 5 times a day along with performing other religious responsibilities (making sure your ablutions have been done properly, making sure your pronunciation of the Arabic language is done properly, getting circumcised, ect.), maybe you would know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadie Posted August 10, 2012 #28 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm sure you are old enough to make your own choices? Just because you where brought up in that culture doesn't mean you have to die by that culture. Just because it was breathed down your back doesn't mean you should breathe it down your families back.

B Randomly Posted August 10, 2012 #32 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Here's a breakdown of what he's trying to get across in a shorthand approach 1 (allah/creator/etc) +(commanding/creating/creation) (+/-) (all there is, duality of nature, pos/neg, male/female, etc) - the parenthesis around +/- is "free will".... and +/-, he is saying, is the lifestyle you lead... either a positive or negative. = (Judgement) Infinity (for all, or in this case, the rest of, existance) heaven/hell or 1 + (+/-) = Infinity..... the outcome of the equation is either (pos)infinity/heaven or (neg)infinity/hell To write out the equation in words - "creator commanded the creation of 'all there is', and within 'all there is' is the free-will of humans. Humans can lead a positive lifestyle, and lead to +infinity(heaven), or negative lifestyle and lead to -infinity(hell)." He, basically, explains most people's core religious views, mathematically, and link them to certain parts of the quaran (I won't say anything there, because I've never read it). Then just blasts all other religions, mainly christianity, for believing something different(father=son=holy ghost), which by his math, does not fit because the son is finite, whereas father and holy ghost are infinite. Have a great day everyone. And good luck to the 'closed-minded', who form opinions before understanding.

You can apply that to any religion or mythos so it doesn't actually prove anything, unless you believe Zeus was a real deity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandpa Greenman Posted August 10, 2012 #34 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I don't understand why Muslims would use such a silly equation and not the Mandelbrot set for trying to prove there is a god. Not that I think Mandelbrot set is proof of a god, but it comes a lot closer than what y'all have here. Is it maybe cause Mandelbrot wasn't a Muslim.

Rlyeh Posted August 11, 2012 #35 Share Posted August 11, 2012 (edited) Have a great day everyone. And good luck to the 'closed-minded', who form opinions before understanding. It would be great if you could educate yourself on mathematical equations before pretending to be "open minded" and criticising other's understanding (something you clearly fail yourself). Because the crap you babbled, is not a mathematical equation. Edited August 11, 2012 by Rlyeh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted August 11, 2012 #36 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Ummm.... if you're interpreting the "=" in the equation as meaing "judgement" then it's not a mathematical equation, it's a philosophical statement. the "=" in maths always means one thing - equivalwnce. one side of an equation seperated by that simbol is the same as the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. K. Posted August 11, 2012 #37 Share Posted August 11, 2012 "1 + (+|-) = ∞" Thats definitely not a mathematical equation, its gibberish. We're in agreement about something, Rlyeh - isn't that scary? As a preacher, I think I see some of the philosophical metaphors he's applying, but it eventually falls apart. As a math teacher, I would say that everyone is correct: "1 + (+|-) = ∞" is not a valid mathematical statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted August 11, 2012 #40 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Case closed then For that equation yes, but there are other things that have been long held as sacred pertaining to geometry. Like the golden ratio. http://www.geometrycode.com/sacred-geometry/ Also there is the Mandelbrot set. Which I have used for meditation. They didn't really understand what this was until computers came along and they were able to put color values to the numbers. Fractals are how much of nature are setup. Cool stuff. http://www.ddewey.net/mandelbrot/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JGirl Posted August 11, 2012 #43 Share Posted August 11, 2012 I have discovered the true religion and God.If anyone can prove me wrong be ready to be shot....................and i challenge all of you to prove me wrong yawn. if you say so. what i want to know is why is it so important that other people believe you? you discovered it good for you go enjoy it.

Mnemonix Posted August 11, 2012 Author #45 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Fair play to you for trying... I'm not "trying" anything, like I said, I'm just neutral I was just browsing and saw that thread so I thought I would share it here, since there's always these things going on. Maybe someone would find it interesting, or say it's nothing and dismiss it (which they did). I'm neutral, neither here nor there, not for, nor against. If there's a god, so be it. If not, so be it. I never said "This equation is the truth and everything other than Islam is false". No, I was only sharing, as a neutral observer and learner. In truth, I prefer peace. I just want to live and die happy So I'm just searching for truth. Thank you, and peace be with you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the crap you babbled, is not a mathematical equation. I have no problem with anyone here, and intend to keep it that way... If you feel I was calling you out, you're mistaken. I wasn't pointing that at anyone in particular. I was simply referring to anyone close-minded enough to refute what this guy has to say because of their social/political/religious views, and not becuase they truly understand what he's trying to say. Today's world/media has Americans pitted against muslims, which makes people more likely to say "pfft... he's muslim and his equation doesn't make sense to me", which is why I made that comment. Also, I didn't babble about anything. I simply gave a breakdown of what he explained, to make it easier to understand.... I never even gave a personal view of how I felt about the equation, itself. Only a comment on the representation of his equation. Edited August 12, 2012 by B Randomly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Randomly Posted August 12, 2012 #50 Share Posted August 12, 2012 After thinking about this equation, it is valid. It's valid because every number is infinite, without exception, and can be proven with math. (zero is not a quantity, it is a lack of quantity). the dichotomy paradox comes to mind... everything in locomotion must reach a half-way point of it's destination. Before it can reach it's goal, it must reach half, before it reaches half, it must reach quarter, before quarter, eighth.... you can hit the calculator as many times as you want and it will never reach 0. Which makes, (1 + (+/-) = infinity), a valid equation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
