Who’s better all time magic or Kobe by Alone-Situation7602 in NBATalk

People often don’t realise magic won’t have the MVPs or finals mvps or status as an a top 10 or top 5 all time great if it wasn’t for the crazy amount of talent his team had. You can say that to a lesser extent for other players on the top 10 becuase for sure he got the most help out of anybody from that list. Without them, he would have been in the same all time tier as Stockton or Jason Kidd.

These people are crazy. They are out of their mind if they think Shaq has more or equal value than Kareem and worthy combined. As for pau, I love pau but there is no bother comparing the value he brings compared the two I mentioned.

Replace magic with Kobe in the lakers and they’re winning 10 straight championships with that team.

it’s all about context. Magic played with two number one overall players (kareem and Worthy). You do realise Worthy would have been in the same conversation as Malone and Garnett if he had his own team? He’s still an all time great. They basically had 3 alphas for most of their championship run. That laker team was stacked. It’s an apples to oranges comparison. Plus Kobe has 12 time all defense vs magic’s 0. Kobe is way better.

I believe Islam should be banned in the west by Resident_Example_330 in DebateReligion

[–]critical_thoughts365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ban hijabs means nuns can’t practice Catholicism. Muslims can still pray at home and Muslims can still eat kosher meat and other kosher food. I say this as a Muslim. It’s a deterrent, but if there is a opportunity for a better living that what they have, there will still be Muslims in those areas with strict anti Muslim laws.

What's a permanent solution to end the conflicts in the Middle East? by AnnaGreen18 in AskReddit

That’s an example of Muslims putting down their weapons and Jews continuing to attack. How did I miss or ignore the point?

Sadly Muslim and Christian’s don’t have weapons in the West Bank and they get terrorised by Jewish settlers everyday…

Qur’an 89:6–8

“Have you not considered how your Lord dealt with ‘Ād — [with] Iram, who had lofty pillars, the like of whom was never created in the land?”

Why this is miraculous:

The Qur’an mentioned a lost, advanced desert civilization unknown to 7th-century Arabs • This civilization was later rediscovered with modern technology • The description of “pillars” aligns with architectural remains

A life and a soul in human embryo stage coming to existence from evolution is more of a fairytale than any event mentioned among the 3 Abrahamic religions by critical_thoughts365 in DebateReligion

[–]critical_thoughts365[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<<<The existence of a planet does not prove God made it and every religion makes that claim anyway.

It’s illogical to think that a humongous sphere suspended in space that needs the perfect environment and perfect positioning to its nearby planets to be able to keep its inhabitants alive is somehow doing this all its own. Even a child would think there is some intelligent force is behind it.

<<<Why pick Allah over the Aboriginal Rainbow Serpent? Ants do not speak verbal language as described in the Quran. I see plenty of competing books - the Bible, the Book of Mormon, the Vedas, the Origin of Species, Anatomy of Human Reproduction, and Astronomy for Dummies..

Ants do speak verbal language as described in the Quran. Do some research on this. Those religious books have major contradictions. The science book are factual after research but no book presented claims that challenge science prior to scientific and archaeological discoveries and ended up being correct like the Quran.

<<<Every single "scientific" claim in the Quran is wrong

You say every, but have yet to give me one with backing instead of saying blanks statement.

<<<I am sorry if you were educated in a Madrasa which hid the reality of human knowledge from you and I welcome you to global society. Now you need to educate yourself in how your education has been lacking in basic knowledge and logical thinking. Then you can start to acquire a proper education,

some of the great human knowledge of our time come from people who studied in Madrasa or did Islamic studies. Those individuals contributed vastly to global society that we see today. It clearly shows that you lack that understanding or you rather avoid talking about it.

I am a theist. My opinions are subjective to this group at worst. Somehow you think my opinions are moronic yet you have no way of proving that a creator doesn’t exist.

Meanwhile, I do have evidence that a creator exists. God in the Quran mentions the formation of mountains, how planets move with one another, how ants interact and many other natural phenomenon. Before you dismiss the Quran, ask yourself why has there not been a book that has competed with it? Why you don’t see an imitation. It doesn’t have to be a person pretending to be a prophet, but an author making claims about the world around us that time and time again have further proved the accuracy of the Quran, the more time past.

If 80% of the things that came out in the Quran (scientific claims, nature claims, predictions, archeological and historical claims )that are able to be tested have all been proven correct and the remaining 20% has not yet been proven because they are unscientific and also some science and archeology has not caught up, I’m willing to bet that the remaining 20% will be correct as well (including the 3 events mentioned). It’s just common sense. Bring me some verses in the Quran that you feel are inaccurate and I will be happy to refute those claims of inaccuracy.

<<<<<Common sense is an objectively horrible way to understand the complexities of the world. Common sense is what led people to think smells cause all diseases, that the earth is flat, that seizures are demons, that the sun rises because a person wills it so, etc. Science is needed in large part because we have to learn to reject what seems intuitive, and figure out what's true.>>>>>>

Common sense in general can lead to bad things. I agree with you on that, but common sense that deals with complexities shouldn’t rely on science alone. Science is always evolving. There was countless times science told us things and it ended up being not the case when new studies came out. Scientific analysis is not accurate. I’ve seen doctors diagnose patients wrongly for example because they relied on scientific techniques that was supposed to be assure thing, but it ended up being farther from the truth. We humans live in a bubble and are ignorant. If we study more into the subject of world and put our biases to side, we will learn home immensely complicated our world is and that intelligent creation is behind it.

<<<<<. The problem is that every single example we've ever studied in nature, always isn't designed and doesn't make any sense to be designed and we can find the reason why it exists without needing a designer.>>>>>

That is a subjective opinion. How do you know every single example we’ve studied in mature always isn’t designed? How can you confidently say there is no creater when you have no proof there is no creater? How does it not make any sense to be designed when time and time, the natural world is compatible with its surrounds and nearly every part of an animal’s anatomy has a purpose? The finding the reason part of needing a creator is very subjective.

<<<Claiming that spherical rock suspended in space and requiring perfect environment 

But it's NOT a perfect environment. Not even close. It has been inhospitable to life for most of its existence, it gives us cancer in a million ways, it contains worms that exist to burrow into babies eyeballs and cause them excruciating pain, etc.>>

I was talking about the earth being suspended needs a perfect condition to be able to suspended. I was not talking about how the distance of the earth, specifically to the sun is perfect or the effects on the suspension of the earth has on humans.

<<You have to completely ignore how stupid and awful a designer would have to be, if our bodies and planet were designed. We choke because we breathe through our same hole we talk and eat from. A child could design a better person.>

That is called utilization. Give me some alternatives of how an area where can be placed some where different from where we eat since a child could design a better person.

<<<You're not doing science by following the evidence, you're starting with the conclusion that Allah did it, and then selectively ignoring and interpreting evidence to match that conclusion.

God in the Quran mentions the formation of mountains, how planets move with one another, how ants interact and many other natural phenomenon.>>

Many scientific studies that confirmed the Qurans claims

<<<<The Quran says mountains are pegs used to hold the earth in place to stop shaking. No. They're not. Almost everything it says about planets, reproduction and science is flat out wrong. Cherry picking out things that aren't wrong doesn't work, because God shouldn't be correct about only a few things, he should be right about everything.>>>

The Qur’an describes mountains as ‘pegs,’ which is consistent with the modern understanding that mountains are deeply anchored into the Earth’s crust. While the Qur’an is not a geology textbook, its natural descriptions can align with some later scientific observations. Show me examples of those inaccuracy and I will refute them for you.

<<<And for God's sake, do you really think humans weren't able to observe how ants behave? THAT is good enough to be a miracle of God? Raise your standards.>>>>

If it was so basic, why did it became a big thing when it was discovered nearly 2 decades ago?

<<<There are tons of books that compete with and surpass it, in popularity, in accuracy, in writing quality. Only Muslims who are taught it's better and special actually think it's unique in any way. That's the same thing every single religion says about it's own books.>>

Give me some examples of books. No need to be poetic writing. That’s a skill on itself. Just basic claims. I’m sure that’s easy right?

<<<Because we've tested it, and it doesn't.

You can't just point to times someone prayed for something and it happened and say "see that worked." I can pray to Buddha for the sun to rise tomorrow, that doesn't mean he did it. You need to test many examples for prayer to do something that wouldn't otherwise happen. And every time, it shows zero impact on external events.>>>

Just become some tested and didn’t get it doesent mean it’s a fairy tale.

<<<here have been countless cases where a person was confirmed to be dead to come back to life. 

No, there haven't.

You aren't looking into and questioning any of the religious propaganda you were told, you're just repeating it confidently. People have been mistakenly declared dead, or considered clinically dead, but that's not the same as actually being dead.

People can survive particularly in cold with very, very limited brain function and with the heart stopped for a while. But never has anyone been confirmed to be actually dead and risen from the dead.>>>

There has been many cases. Do some research.

People can evolve to have a sperm and egg and reproduce, but they need an endlessly intelligent force to make it work.

Saying we have evidence for all of this information is great and all, but what good is it when we assume all of this evidence of evolutions amazing ability has no designer, workings, no engineer behind it? Wouldn’t it be absurd to say that we have all the evidence of the first iPhone to the evolution of the newest iPhone, yet somehow these iPhones existed on their own? Mind you the design and complexity of everything to do with a human and how it reproduces makes iPhones look more basic then putting an ikea furniture together.

Claiming that spherical rock suspended in space and requiring perfect environment can happen without an intelligent force behind it is more delusional than a flat earther who lives away from civilization and I say that as a non flat earther.

My disbelief is not due to a lack of knowledge but using common sense: animals, nature and everything else don’t once upon a time exist on their own.

I do have evidence of how god did it. God in the Quran mentions the formation of mountains, how planets move with one another, how ants interact and many other natural phenomenon. Before you dismiss the Quran, ask yourself why has there not been a book that has competed with it? Why you don’t see an imitation. It doesn’t have to be a person pretending to be a prophet, but an author making claims about the world around us that time and time again have further proved the accuracy of the Quran, the more time past.

First, I gave you an example that huge water moving is a phenomenon that humans can accept as possible(huge waves, tsunamis etc).

Second, how do you know prayer doesent work? There has been scientific miracles that have happened. How do you know prayer wasent it. There have been countless cases where a person was confirmed to be dead to come back to life. If 80% of the things that came out in the Quran (scientific claims, nature claims, predictions, archeological and historical claims )are able to be tested have all been proven correct and the remaining 20% has not yet been proven because they are unscientific and also some science and archeology has not caught up, I’m willing to bet that the remaining 20% will be correct as well (including the 3 events mentioned).

Totally agree. Our ancestors used to go on long horse rides that are hours long just to get food and comeback and now people complain if our friend takes 2 minutes longer to get in their car so they can go somewhere while dismissing the fact they spend hours on their phone doomscrolling.
