Guidance and law that is valid till the last day?

A mind trapped in “The Evolution Syndrome” cannot envisage a message being valid till the end of time. Everything changes, our mind tells us, so our laws and our approach too must change. We are evolving and improving all the time, so our laws must change in tandem.

Such a mind cannot envisage that there can exist any thing that is already at the end point, some thing that is already the ultimate best and for which there can be no more “improvement” or evolution.

Such a mind cannot envisage God, or the divine knowledge from God which is at its maximum of competence and relevance and for which there can be no improvement, no need for change.

What is this message for which no change is needed?

It is commonly referred to as the message of the last Prophet (PBUH), which is true, but it is not exclusively his; it was in fact the message of all prophets (PBUT). While many (especially "Muslims") do accept that the message is valid till the last day, no one seems to ask a very pertinent question, from when does its validity begin? This knowledge, which God has shared with mankind and which is meant for all mankind, has been valid from the beginning of creation and will remain as such till the last day. This is in stark contrast to everything held "sacred" by the evolution mindset.

What is this message? What follows are some of the important aspects.

There is only one God.

God alone is competent to make laws. The one we worship is the one whose laws (directives) we follow, hence, the directives of God are the only ones worthy of being followed, ie God is the only one worthy of being worshipped.

The poor have a right to a small portion of what God grants us as earning; this is not ours and is their right. Failing to honour this trust is a grave injustice, and has the effect of polluting our entire wealth just as a drop of urine pollutes an entire barrel of water. Everything that is acquired with this polluted wealth is itself polluted and a source of pain, not a source of comfort.

Abstinence or fasting is recommended and has great spiritual and physical benefits.

Four actions are crimes against God, and if the criteria for guilt are met, the perpetrators qualify for the prescribed punishment, and there is no exception. These are adultery, theft, robbery and perjury. We are not authorized to criminalize any other action.

Any one who feels his rights have been violated is entitled to bring his complaint before a competent adjudicator.

We should always uphold the truth, even against our self and family, fulfill all our pledges and keep all our promises.

All debts should be paid as agreed upon, or earlier if possible since no one knows when we are to die. No debt is anulled by death or the passage of time and one will be held accountable for all unpaid debts on the day of judgment.

Respect and honour our parents, but not to the extent that we violate Gods guidance.

Be kind and protective to the orphan, traveler, the infirm and the poor.

Everyone is created with free will and no one may violate the free will of another, or allow their own free will to be violated (we are born free and guided on how we can preserve our freedom).

Everyone is born subservient to the will of God.

We all have common ancestors in Adam and Eve (PBUT), this makes us all members of one family. Our differences are there to help us identify each another, and not for us to despise one another.

Everyone is born pure and sin free; to be born otherwise would be an injustice (answerable for a sin that was not of our doing).

No one is accountable for the deeds of another, only for our own.

Everyone will be treated with full justice, and any claims brought against us on the Day of Judgment will be backed with full proof.

We will all be tested, whether we recognize the existence of God or not, but we will not be tasked with a burden that is greater than our capability.

Guidelines on things that we should avoid (that we should treat as "forbidden") apply to all mankind, whether we acknowledge them as such or not.

Man has a status higher than woman, this means a degree of responsibility that is greater, and has been made differently so as to be able to fulfill this greater responsibility.

God judges us on our piety, and nothing else.

God judges our actions on the basis of our intention.

Our actions only qualify as a service to God if done in a manner accepted by God and when done exclusively for Him. Actions not approved by God can never be a source of benefit or a way by which we worship God.

We should seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. God has created the world in such a way that the knowledge he wishes to share with us can be learned through observation of his creations.

The time of our birth and of our death are determined before we are born; we cannot influence the quantity of our life, only the quality.

Satan has vowed to subjugate man (make man his slave, deprive man of his free will). He deceives us by mixing truth with falsehood. We are guided to protect ourselves against him.

Nothing that the Messenger’s of God did or implied varied from the above. They are guidelines that are truly eternal, and valid to the last day. God has promised to protect and preserve this guidance which we can access in the Quraan and the practice of God’s last Messenger on Earth (PBUH)

These guidelines are valid from the beginning to the end of time.

In keeping with the promise not to place a burden on us greater than we can bear, God has spared us the responsibility of making laws. All the guidance and directives we require for a successful stay on Earth have been revealed. Any addition or subtraction on our part is retrogressive and to our detriment..

Our duty is to ensure that no one violates the rights of anyone else; that everyone is free. The role of Government is not to make laws, but to give effect to the guidance of God, and in practical terms, it means ensuring that the free will of no one is violated and that those who are guilty of the prescribed crimes are duly punished. Our government is supposed to help preserve our freedom and keep the peace.

The guidance is simple, so that everyone can understand them, and will be in a position to recognize when attempts are made to violate them.

It becomes abundantly clear that involuntary taxation is theft and strictly forbidden. It is the yoke on the beast of burden, on the human slave. No one is free if burdened in this manner.

It should be clear to anyone who is honest and unbiased, that these guides are “evergreen”; that they have been valid from the beginning of creation, and will be valid till the end of time? This is why it is possible for every human to be judged fairly (in relation to their contemporaries as well as people of other eras).

When we create our own criteria of what qualifies as good or bad, right or wrong, we do not worship God but ourselves.When we make our own laws, we are treading on the exclusive domain of the Almighty. Failure is a certainty. Everyone has the right to do this in terms of our free will, but it denies us the hidden benefits that are present in certain actions only, and these are the ones God has sanctioned and guides us towards.

They are hidden simply because the way in which God created us makes it almost impossible for us to make the connections between our actions and all their consequences. God, in His infinite mercy does not deprive us of this benefit which we are incapable of appreciating because of no fault of our own. All that is required of us is to place our trust in Him. By following God’s guidance we are led to these benefits and protected from those actions that lead to negative consequences which we are similarly incapable of anticipating or predicting.

Do we acknowledge God’s infinite wisdom and follow His perfect guidance, or do we follow a course of trial by error. If we do not act to secure our freedom, we will not have the luxury of choice; that decision will be made for us.

Do we dare take this risk?

Until next time (God willing).

Creation or Evolution?

This is the most important question we have to answer. Each is so different from the other that they are mutually exclusive; our presence is the result of either one or the other, it cannot be by a combination of both.

The answer that we determine is the correct one has profound implications as it forms the foundation of our thinking. Everything we do, and every thought we have is based on this foundation.It defines who or what we are, and helps us determine our purpose on Earth.

We have been led to understand that no one can get a definite answer to this question, that it is all speculation; that both could equally be possible. That is a lie, and we have been fed this lie because it serves the purpose of some very disturbed people. It serves to keep us confused. It allows us to engage in things we would never do if we knew for sure what the truth really was. It makes it easier for us to be degraded and for us to degrade ourselves.

Let us determine the truth once and for all.

We begin with Charles Darwin. He was a scientist, and scientists study things and make educated guesses in order to further our understanding of the world and life on it. These guesses are made all the time, and most are proven wrong and others are partially true but help us eventually arrive at the complete truth.

We used to think the world was flat. This was a theory, proven wrong with the acquisition of new knowledge, so to with the theory that the Sun rotated around Earth. Scientists theorized that scurvy was due to a virus, and pellagra too. Both of these were found to be due to vitamin deficiencies. Scientists make these guesses  when the truth escapes us. Madame Curie helped us understand radiation through scientific experimentation. Louis Pasteur helped introduce the process of pasteurization.

Charles Darwin was trying to understand why the offspring resembles the parent. In his work, “On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life”, the First Edition of which was published on 24 November 1859, he theorized that all physical characteristics were passed on to the offspring. We know from consequent proven independent scientific study that this is not correct.

He went on to suggest that if this was the case, any physical change acquired by an individual would similarly be passed on to its offspring. He suggested that pressure from the environment may promote certain changes, such as shortage of food will cause an animal to constantly stretch its neck to reach leaves higher up the trees. In time the neck would become a fraction of a millimeter longer. This will be passed on to the offspring, and with the passage of time we will have a giraffe when once there was a buck. We now know that this too is not correct. Physical changes are not inherited, just as an amputee will not give birth to a baby with a missing limb, and no matter how much a buck changes, it will walwys be a buck and nothing else.

Darwin also suggested that certain individuals within a species would survive while others would not because they were better suited to their environment. A white bear would escape predators in the polar region better than a brown or black bear, hence explaining why polar bears would be white, for instance. He called this natural selection. We know that none of this is correct. Each type of bear is genetically distinct.

When Darwin made his suggestions, chromosomes were yet to be discovered and no one knew how traits were inherited. With their discovery in 1882 by Walther Flemming, we learned the truth about how cells divided and how traits were inherited. Darwin (and hence his theories) were proven wrong.

Despite this, we still find evolution being presented as a fact. We need to ponder why this is the case when the opposite is proven by scientific fact.

Be that the case, there is a lot more we must consider to seal the case against evolution.

Let us assume, for the purpose of this discussion, that evolution is the process that resulted in the creation of everything; planets, stars, and all life form. There was no creator. There is no intelligent design.

By some chance process matter coalesced and formed planets and stars. Protein bubbled in a watery broth and from within this, over time, many living cells “evolved”. Through a process of natural selection and genetic changes (mutations) new creatures were formed leading eventually to life as we know it today. We know that mutations must have occurred because our characteristics are coded within chromosomes, a fact we must incorporate in our theory.

We shall take a closer look at mutations shortly.

First and foremost, our entire evolution from a single cell to a complex multi-cellular organism occurs in a world that has to be constantly changing. There is no creator. There is nothing to keep thinks “stable and constant”. The process of evolution is dependent upon constant change in order for new life to evolve. There can be no state of existence that is stable and complete. Stability is the opposite of change, the opposite of evolution. If a unicellular organism stopped changing and remained in a stable state, no higher life form could arise.

If our environment and our development was the process of constant change, what would our world look like?

Nothing would be constant because this negates evolution. Gravity would fluctuate. The frequency of waves in the environment would change constantly so that there would be no possibility of a stable persistent form of visible light.

The absence of gravity that was stable and unchanging would make it impossible for planets to acquire a stable orbit around suns. No galaxy could form. Planets and stars will be hurling haphazardly through space.

The absence of a stable light source would make it impossible for any eye to evolve, or any “seeing-device” for that matter.

It would be impossible for identifiable species to form. Each organism would be undergoing repeated change and the structure of living organisms would be such that change would be facilitated since it is only through change that higher forms could arise. We would find billions of different creatures each in a different stage of change. Our fossil heritage would be one of a cluster of different creatures, none that could be lumped together as distinct species. As mentioned before, any possibility of a stable state being reached would end the evolutionary process.

Genetic changes would require mutations, but there is nothing to guide how or when mutations take place. We know it is a totally random and unpredictable event.

Let us compare that scenario to what we know exists to day and see whether there is any similarity to what we have just described.

Each individual belongs to genetically distinct species, even if the different between species is only a few chromosomes or genes.

From the beginning of recorded history (including fossil specimens) these species have remained distinct, such as with sea creatures (jelly fish) and creatures such as cockroaches.

Our bodies do not tolerate change and a multitude of checks and balances are in place to eliminate the possibility of change arising. Survival of the fittest is about escaping change and remaining true to ones heritage. Change results in forms we identify as deformed. They die in utero or soon after birth. Most are incapable of reproducing. The stable world in which we live does not tolerate change and has built in safety features to prevent changes from taking place.

The male produces billions of sperm for each egg produced by the female to ensure that only the best and strongest will fertilize the egg. Those that have been changed tend to be so outnumbered by those that have not changed that the process is highly geared towards ensuring an absence of change, that a healthy unchanged sperm would fertilize the egg.

The appearance of our world and its stable nature, such as light being constant, and gravity having a specific value mitigates against a world that depends upon change for its existence. Our world reflects stability and an in built intolerance to change.

Our world is showing us that it is not and cannot be the product of evolution.

The arrival of man on earth after the demise of the dinosaur is so sudden, and with no preceding intermediate creatures to suggest an evolutionary process. If evolution was in process, fossil evidence would abound with strange creatures in the process of forming humans. Even Darwin admitted that the absence of fossil evidence was against his theory.

What about the suggestion that the changes that occurred were the result of genetic mutations.

Mutations are almost always destructive. They result in cancers and other defects. Mutations must affect multiple areas of the body simultaneously to be beneficial. If a mutation were to result in the formation of an hormone, we would require simultaneous changes in various parts of the body, resulting in the formation of the gland, the hormone, the hormoe receptor at various sites in the body, new releaser hormones and their feedback control mechanisms. To have multiple mutations happening at the same time so that all of these could occur is in all probability impossible.

For mutations to result in complex higher forms, such multiple mutations should be happening commonly and with great regularity. The evidence we have before us proves that this is not the case.

Everything, from scientific evidence to observation of our world with the untrained eye is against evolution and in support of a process of deliberate design and creation.

We need to ponder this deeply. We were created; we did not evolve. This is a fact. What are the consequences of this to us and to our process of thinking? How does this fact influence who we are, and our understanding of why we are here?

Our discussion will continue.

Bye for now.
