    Basically, a false religion is defined as having the qualities your religion lacks. What if God really is only nature? What if there is no God at all? You have failed to invent any adequate measures for deducing a "false" religion.

    You mean the unsystematic use of invective and ridicule as a means of provocation ?

    Got it.

    Q: How many days did it take 'Allah' to creat Earth.
    Q: How many Earth days are in an 'Allah' day?

    Creation is an ongoing process. There are no "days"

    I'd say hundreds of tonnes of bombs are pretty systematic. Incarceration, torture, desecration of the Qur'an, portrayal of Muslims as terrorists, demonising Muslim beliefs, mocking their distress with cartoons and movies that dehumanise them and portray them as less than human is pretty systematic.

    But that, as you have elsewhere observed, is not motivated by Islamophobia - which was at issue here.

    and this stuff :
    is by turns either not Islamophobic, not systematic, or not terror-inflicting.

    You seem to be thinking that the US government and corporate power structure is motivated by Islamophobia - that W&Co spent a trillion dollars and set up torture prisons and launched land war with military terrorism in Eurasia because they feared the Muslim religion.

    you call that ONE concept ? you throw everything but the kitchen sink at it and dare call it a single concept ? what all your "false religions" have in common is the "anything but mine" tag

    The Quran claims a specific number of days.

    Ayah (verse) 7:54 "Your Guardian-Lord Is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days..."

    There are other verses that make the claim as well.

    That would be an improvement. Rampant spreading of Islamophobia would be more to the point.

    Now if you could clarify exactly how that in itself is terrorism,

    or perhaps rehibilitate the whole chain of assertions to express the observation that some of the same people who spread Islamophobia are also terrorising Muslims (for other reasons) and justifiying or concealing their behavior by reference to the Islamophobia they have spread,

    we'd have something that can't be dismissed by pointing to ordinary reality.

    OK. You are asserting that the US government etc etc. If that is not what you are thinking, your rhetoric is betraying your thought.

    Evolution can explain how things appear to be designed without the intervention of a designer. You state that God creates things based on scientific principles, yet those scientific principles operate well enough on their own. Where is the scientific analysis of the God Hypothesis?

    It's not enough to say "I can't believe that things came about without a designer". This is called an argument from incredulity. I makes no difference if it's hard to believe. In fact, the appeal of the God Hypothesis is a point against it. It means that accepting revealed scientific truth makes you uncomfortable, which isn't a good reason to reject something. Science demands that you make an effort to deduce things in a logical way, without an appeal to emotion.

    more to the point, have you ever had a good laugh, like when going to see "Monty Python's Life of Brian" ?

    Yeah they use the Arabic word youm which can mean anything from one day to 50,000 years in the Quran.
