    No. No. I believe in the unseen. Sorry not "believe", I have evidence of the unseen, the unseen world of the atoms and quarks.

    But they are not supernatural...sorry No djins.

    As for your experience of Deja vous, out of body experiences etc... I suggest you learn more about how the brain creates our sense of reality...

    BTW deja-vu is just the brain playing tricks with you.  It occurs when you are looking at something and the event/image gets stored in your long term memory instead of you short term memory.

    They when you reflect on the even that has just occurred, you are convinced that it happened before.

    My point is that it is far more useful to fall back onto science when we have questions that we dont know the answer too, rather than using the supernatural by default.  Science may come back with a solution, but God will never answer back.

    Rubaiyat, Islame, FYI, i dont believe that "Dejavu" is Supernatural  grin12 but i do believe OBE/astral projection, clairvoyance, telekinesis, telepathy, and some other stuffs to be "supernatural" although.. i believe those things can finally be explained scientifically when our science and technology are more advanced.  Yeah, i know brain can screw up the mind too thats why "we" need groups who can witness together. And then again, it's pure science but just havent been found out yet by science.

    As I said you need to learn about how brain creates our sense of reality.

    OBE scientifically now can be demonstrated by stimulating part of the brain with an electrical current - but it's not supernatural.

    Recent work in Virtual Reality computing has shown that OBE can be triggered by altering how the brain receieves messages from the outside world.

    Rubaiyat : Thats what i mean, what's "supernatural" someday can be explained by science, like gravitation, speed of light, or nucleus, you cant see them but they exist, including Jin. Atom can be known as the smallest particle of us because photon has been invented, and the technology doesnt stop in it.. someday it will be developed maybe in 100, 1000, 10000, 1000000000 years we cant be too ignorant for the chance, even i believe we can find out "the substance of God/angel/jin" with science, cos i know they exist.

    I didn't accuse you of anything... I just told you that what you are experiencing may not be as supernatural as you think it is.

    Now you are playing with words again!

    Now "Supernatural" means something that science cannot explain yet!


    There is clear definition for supernatural.

    As I said you can't just change the meaning of words to suit you!

    Once you can explain the supernatural it is no longer supernatural, as Rubaiyat stated supernatural means something which cannot be explained.

     Reply #613 - November 24, 2009, 12:02 PM

    Supernatural means something outside nature.  As science only explains the natural world, the supernatural lies outside its remit and always will.  Basically, if science can explain something its not supernatural.

    It says "Signs" (that means Quran, and also other revelations/proof of the existence of 1 God


    Yeah, and your point is?

    Am I missing something here?

    You seem to be very confused?

    First you said: "Quran doesnt say that non Muslims will go to hell"

    Then you say: Those who reject God signs, as in Qur'an etc... will go to Hell.

    So what's the difference?

    And weren't you talking about Kim and ex-Muslims in general. (How much more rejection of God's signs do you want?)

    I suspect you are one of those Muslims who tries to wriggle just about everyone out of this nasty place called Hell.

    Then tell me this - who are the ones in that verse that it says are having their skin burnt off and replaced over and over again for all eternity?

    Rubaiyat, Cheetah, etc : You dont understand what i meant, what i was saying that one thing which is right now considered as Supernatural, after our science's more advance that one thing we considered previously as "Supernatural" will no longer be Supernatural or "outside nature" for us and become Natural. Ancient people thought the wind were supernatural cos Wind cant be seen but now it's not "outside nature" because science can prove it. Fire/lightning/rainbow were once believed as supernatural, but now no longer considered as Supernatural like they were before because now science can explain what they are.

    The particle of Jin isnt known, but to me Jin maybe consists of electricity cos Jin felt cold/hot in my hand, and could be magnetic cos there were moment when somebody's easily get closed to Jin (like "magnetic" to jin) but there were condition when somebody's difficult to be near Jin. But im not a scientist so i cant really satisfy you people's skepticism, if human & technology still exist & develop in 1000000 years in the future im sure EVERYTHING can be explained.

    In other words, it was never supernatural at all, it was just something natural that humans didn't understand at the time.

    This can already be explained - its called a sensory illusion.  The human brain plays tricks like that the whole time, nothing supernatural about it.

    And btw, if jinns were made of electricity, or were magnetic, scientists would already be able to detect them even if they couldn't see them.

    By Quran, from what ive read, Non Muslims arent all going to hell, only the disbelievers. Why do you ignore my post about "Not all Non Muslims are Disbelievers" ?

    So here i copy paste it again :

    Are all Non Muslims disbelievers ? No the arent, infact some can fit the definition of people-who-believe.
    So who are disbelievers ? Anyone in opposite with definition of believers mention in 2:3-5 about "who are the Believers".

    3. Those who believe in the unseen and keep up prayer and spend out of what We have given them.
    4. And who believe in that which has been revealed to you and that which was revealed before you and they are sure of the hereafter.
    5. These are on a right course from their Lord and these it is that shall be successful.

    Isa, Musa, and their disciples were mentioned in 2:3. The Sabians and believer of the unseen, those who pray, those who do good deed for the others who were mentioned in 2:2. Those people are the people who believe and fear the One God (Allah/Yahweh/Sang Hyang Widhi/whatever you call it). Thats why in 2:62 even if someone believes in "the unseen", if someone's Christian or a Jew, if he believe in the One God, believe that all our "treasures" in this earth is mortal and will vanquish in the judgement day, and do good in life, Allah said "Them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve".

    Yes, ive heard that too, it's more than optical illusion when some people can see/talk/touch the same object called "jin" by chance at the same time.

    I think it's pretty cool if there're scientists who did that research. When i felt cold/hot in my hand that time im sure a scientist can use his technology to detect it either (cos that time it wasnt only me who felt that but also the other 2 acquaintances of mine in the group - but i wont call them "friends" :p).

    OK, gatty, let's concentrate on those you agree the Qur'an says will burn in Hell forever - having their skin burnt off and the replaced so that they can keep suffering this unbearable pain over and over again.

    What did they do to deserve this?

    How can you justify eternal punishment like this?

    In what way is Allah All-Just, All-Merciful, All-Compassionate, All- Forgiving, All-Gentle etc... if he keeps people alive just so that he can keep torturing them this way for disbelieving in him?

    What is the point of it?

    And you mention something about the Sabians in a previous post. Do not worry about the Sabians, the Arab/muslims took care of the Sabian. They took care of them real good too. I am glad however you still remember them in your prayers.

    No, not necessarily.  Mass illusions are a well known phenomena, the best known example I can think of is the time a crowd of several thousand claimed to see the sun dance in the sky over Fatima in 1917.  And apart from mass illusions, it is easily possible that several people can misunderstand the same natural phenomena in a similar way, especially if they share the same superstitions, religious beliefs, etc.

    All you're really revealing with this anecdote of feeling hot/cold in your hand and calling it a jinn is that you're prone to sensory illusions, and you are susceptible to woo.

    I know, one Quran definition about Jin was that the jinn was made of "smokeless fire". Fire's substance is oxygen (mabe there're more than just oxygen but i forgot), and it sometimes can or cant be seen. All i know that oxygen consists of atoms, and in atom there're electrical particles (electron/negative, proton/positive, or neutron/neutral). As for how oxygen can produce heat ? i dont know that.

    I think it was Ahmadi's, or another sect in Islam, that argues that hell is not eternal. So yes, there are some Muslims, whether the majority of Muslims agree if they are within the fold of Islam or not, that believe hell is not forever. Not all Muslims believe hell is eternal, or that all non-Muslims will be punished.

    For those who understand, no explanation is necessary. For those who refuse to understand, no explanation is possible.

    Gatty, you sound sufi sometimes. And I think, although I believe in some of the things you are saying  - but probably in a different way - it's hard to make your point go accross to people who don't believe in what they call "imaginary friends" (no, it wasn't sarcastic. I actually find this expression amusing and smart. My atheists friends here use it too.). This because it's two different spheres of thinking. Not that you can't discuss it, but it's a hard game, especially in a forum and with no drinks. ( You can have some coffee when you are Muslim)
