i want you to tell me where you read this phrase "millions of people are abandoning Islam"



??????????????????


Proof of god's existence???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????




answer my question:


Q1- Do you SEE smell? can you see smell?


yes or no

Please do answer me only "yes or NO"


Answer my question first - you promised to do it days ago and have come up with nothing but pointless cut 'n paste extravaganzas... :roll:



why are you so impatient.. :)

and take my advise.. enjoy the conversations and discussion
you don't have to be so rude..... :)
so lets smile and answer few question. you will enjoy the conversation

then we can start another very interesting thread



so, back to Question
Q1---- do you see smell? y/n ?


No, never mind my senses... back to your proof... :roll:




thanks for answering.. i asked you lame question on purpose..


everyone here is waiting for me to prove existence of God based on Science. you bring science in order to prove that God doesn't exist.

what is science:
science is the study of observed phenomena

Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one

According to the same science :
you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.


Based on this..
did any one

see your brain
smell your brain
touch your brain
hear your brain
taste your brain

No.... :)


does this mean, that you don't have brain.. (many might think that you don't have brain)

but i don't want to insult you..

if you prove me that you have brain ... based on "as some intelligent" people on CF are professors of science and think they are smart.

then i will prove you existence of God if you still are looking for it.

Thanks to science, following my MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan a few years ago the medical staff saw my brain.

Also Functional magnetic resonance imaging can show the brain response.

Over to you RealityBites to present your proof ...

Animals and insects communicate through an invisible world of scents. By exploiting infrared technology, researchers at Rockefeller University just made that world visible. With the ability to see smells, these scientists now show that when fly larvae detect smells with both olfactory organs they find their way toward a scented target more accurately than when they detect them with one.

“Having two eyes allows us to have depth perception and two ears allows us to pinpoint a noise precisely,” says Leslie Vosshall, head of the Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior. “Sensing odors in stereo is equally important.”
In research to be published in the December 23 online issue of Nature Neuroscience, Vosshall and her colleagues show that odor information is easier to perceive when it is smelled with both olfactory organs. By genetically manipulating flies to express odorant receptors in one olfactory organ or both, they show that the brains of Drosophila melanogaster larvae not only make use of stereo cues to locate odors but also to navigate toward them — a behavior called chemotaxis.
To study this behavior, Vosshall and her colleagues had to figure out which direction the larvae move with respect to the source of the odor. But since odors are invisible, the researchers could neither predict how the flies would move in relation to these scents nor guess whether the odors were concentrated in patches or along a gradient. To complicate matters, odors whisk to and fro at the mercy of the slightest stir, making it impossible to determine their concentrations at particular locations.
“We needed to create an environment in which we knew something about the spatial arrangement of the odors,” says Vosshall. “We needed to see the smells.” :D reality bites!
In collaboration with colleagues in Thomas P. Sakmar’s Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, the researchers used a novel spectroscopic technique that exploited infrared light to create environments where they could see, control and precisely quantify the distribution of these smells.
When Vosshall and her colleagues observed the animals’ behavior, they found that although animals with one functional nose or two were both able to sense odors, only the ones with both olfactory organs working accurately navigated toward the odor source. “A left-right comparison isn’t necessary for flies to smell,” says Vosshall, “but it is necessary for them to do it well.”

that was rhetoric question , didn't mean anything.

don't spend more time proving me seeing and smelling .. thanks for your effort anyway.


Is you thread question also rhetorical ? :D

Very interesting!

Recently, I visited a station in remote Australia. Flood waters caused a massive explosion of disease carrying (Ross River Virus) mosquitoes.

These mosquitoes congregated and literally covered 44 Gallon drums of AVGAS and JetA1 fuel which had their seals broken. They seemed to be attracted to the smell. I'm not sure if this is relevant to your post, but it is interesting!
