The Big Bang problem for atheists: What Hawking and Tyson get wrong | God’s Cosmos

(Basira Education) This video challenges the [Western] materialist view of the universe by using the [supposed] "Big Bang" as evidence for God's existence [that God being Allah, the One and Only true God, with only one messenger, peace be upon him, the Prophet Mohammed, with only one true revelation of His will and His orders for how to live].

Shaykh [Sheikh] Hamza Karamali explains that the "Big Bang" marks the beginning of the universe, making it impossible for materialism to explain its origins without invoking some [pre-existing] thing beyond physical matter and time.

• Science: Is our universe a black hole? New cosmological model challenges the Big Bang
• What does it mean to be human?

Khilji destroys Buddhist Nalanda

He contrasts this with the views of [wheelchair scientist] Stephen Hawking and [gatekeeper mouthpiece] Neil deGrasse Tyson, arguing that their denial of a pre-Big Bang cause overlooks the need for a immaterial, timeless creator — God [or an impersonal ground or source].

The Big Bang, once rejected by materialists, now serves as overwhelming scientific evidence for a finite universe that points to a divine creator.

Why listen to a Muslim or learn about Islam?

Why do Jews hate Muslims?

Salam alaykum. A Buddhist website giving Islam a forum? But they're monotheistic Abrahamic fanatics!

Wisdom Quarterly is interested in all faiths and practices, explanations and views, particularly those we disagree with, so we listen without necessarily expecting to be listened to in return. Why?

In the future, when peace reigns in the world, one can only hope that it will not be because we all agree but rather because we have all learned to respect, enjoy, and celebrate differences.

The Buddha originated the famous simile of the elephant, which like the Aesop Fables (rooted in the Jataka) gained so much popularity people use it without realizing who came up with it: A group of blind men are asked what an elephant looks like. So depending on their sense of touch, they feel a portion of the elephant and extrapolate a global view. The one who feels a leg describes the elephant as a column. The one who feels an ear describes the elephant as a supple palm. The one who feels the trunk describes the elephant as a snake, and so on. Each, going on limited information, proceeds to form a wrong view about the whole.

All of their views combined might get us somewhere, but instead they are with each other: "How can you say a supple palm when this is a post?" "How can you say post, when this is a snake?" and so on.

One of the best classes to take in college is comparative religion. If they were presented fairly and accurately, we might be drawn to the best religion for us, rather than all being baptized by fire into Scientism. Lots of students would surely become agnostics, and a few might become militant atheists and even fewer pantheists and animists. Who's right?

This is a question of epistemology (the philosophy of determining what qualifies as proof and knowledge), which is very ontological (concerned with being). Go, Socrates! The unexamined life is not worth living, which seems to be what our Western hedonism (pleasure above everything else) seems to really be about. In any case, we already hear the anti-Islam view by its most articulate critic on YouTube.
