CHICKEN OR EGG …… AN AGE-OLD QUESTION?

Posted on October 24, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What came first the chicken or the egg …… an age old question

Asked By: roger1960 (51-55, M) 1 hour ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 23rd, 2012 at 4:50PM

The egg without germ cannot become chicken.
So the imaginary egg existing in the theory of
Big Bang cannot be the mother of the chicken.
The creation is in reality without beginning and
without end, so this question is no longer a question.
It is like asking God or the creation exists first,
body or soul exists first, cloud or water exists first?…
Man’s knowledge is limited by time and space,
so we cannot answer questions relating to eternity.
Believers in God seek for answers in the Holy Books
for broader, profounder meanings and more suitable
to high intelligence.

Baha’u’llah says:

 “As to thy question whether the physical world is subject to any limitations, know thou that the comprehension of this matter dependeth upon the observer himself. In one sense, it is limited; in another, it is exalted beyond all limitations. The one true God hath everlastingly existed, and will everlastingly continue to exist. His creation, likewise, hath had no beginning, and will have no end. All that is created, however, is preceded by a cause. This fact, in itself, establisheth, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the unity of the Creator.”

(Baha’u’llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah, p. 162)

WHY IS KILLING A FETUS IS NOT MURDER?

Posted on October 24, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why is killing a baby murder but killing a fetus isn’t?

Asked By: maxximiliann (36-40, M) 28 minutes ago

Good Question? (10)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 23rd, 2012 at 4:18PM

Because the cries of the fetus cannot be heard.
Because her parents, her relatives deny her existence.
Because adults falsely think that they have the right
to do bad things silently.
Because human conscience is deteriorated.
Because religious foundation is broken down….
Yes, I really wonder why no authority comes out
for the protection of these innocent angels.
Among the injustices we are committed on earth,
this is the worst, because it is done against
the purest human beings.
I never accept such thing occur in my family.
I have written many articles about this crime.
Wishing that the pro-lifers will do something
more for the protection of our angelic brothers and sisters.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “All the wealth of contingencies is misery. If we know not the eternal, we are nothing, and as God is eternal, knowing God is a link to eternity. I pray you to reflect deeply upon this, that you may understand clearly. Many people think that creation is a manifestation of God, that the divine reality like unto the embryo in a seed, has come forth out of the seed and become a trunk, branches, leaves, flowers.” (Abdu’l-Baha, Divine Philosophy, p. 108)

BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM IMPORTANT?

Posted on October 18, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Is the implementation of k-12 Basic Education Program really important? why?

Asked By: gen2 (18-21, F) 1 hour ago

Posted by pukirahe Oct 18th, 2012 at 4:27AM

The whole system is outdated and collapsing.
Children of our days can finish high school
program at twelve and college at fifteen. After
that they are able to continue higher education by themselves.
Our program today are too heavy with useless data
and the whole knowledge is narrowly for the service of the nation
(while proper education must train our children for
serving efficiently and lovingly the whole human race.)
Times and again, I keep on calling makers of policies
and educators to do something urgently for this most
important matter. New problems of the wolrd cannot
be solved with solutions and knowledge of former centuries.
I know that this will surely be done when we fall into
deeper abysses. So, it is always wiser to solve
our problems before they become too late.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “Behind our solar system there are unfathomable stellar systems and above those stellar systems are the remote aggregations of the milky way. Extend your vision beyond the fixed stars and again you shall behold many spheres of light. In brief, the creation of the Almighty is beyond the grasp of the human intellect. When this objective creation is unlimited and not subject to suspension, is not the subjective creation of His Majesty the Almighty limitless? When the reflection or physical creation is infinite, how is it possible to circumscribe the reality which is the basis of divine creation? The spiritual world is so much greater than the physical that in comparison with it the physical world is non-existent.”

POPULAR PEOPLE KNOW THEY ARE POPULAR?

Posted on October 16, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Do popular people (not celebrities) know that they are popular?

Asked By: 1honestgirl (31-35, F) 19 minutes ago

Or do they think everyone is sought after like that?

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 15th, 2012 at 9:07PM

Popular people are not popular, they are on the way
up to celebrity, popularity, prominence. Because
the masses are not herds, flocks, but each of them
is one unique intelligent being. Each will become famous
in various fields of human activities, even in events,
accidents, coincidences….
Today, with all sorts of competitons, games, shows….
lots of incognitos suddently appear conspicuously on
big newspapers, websites, blogs….
We are now living in a complete new world. Cameras
of all types are working at all corners of the world
to make known new universes, new talents, new
skills. Popular people no longer remain unpopular
for centuries in a remote village.

Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure. No God is there but Thee, the Most Powerful, He Whose help is implored by all men.”

PRAISING GOD ALMIGHTY ONLINE?

Posted on October 8, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What one line would you like to say in praise of God Almighty?

Asked By: bullseye111 (26-30, M) 19 minutes ago

I MADE A STUPID TYPO ERROR IN THE QUESTION AND HAD NO IDEA HOW TO RECTIFY IT.I AM SO SORRY.

Best Answer by pukirahe (Chosen By Asker):

Oct 8th, 2012 at 3:46AM

At EP online I like to say my praise of God.
One line is too short. My answers to questions up here
usually take more than ten lines.
God does not need me or any human beings to praise
Him, because human words cannot do justice to His
omniscience and His omnipotence.
He gives us intelligence to create an invisible world that
can carry forward an ever-advancing civilization as long
as He exists.
This fact will encourage man to try his best in worship
and service, to realize that man supreme creation will
never possess living properties and creative intelligence.
Then he will humbly and sincerely submit his will under
the Will of God.

WHISPERING IN SOMEONE’S EAR?

Posted on October 4, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What was the last thing you whispered in someone’s ear?

Asked By: Bleebergie (41-45, F) 21 minutes ago

Good Question? (5)

Posted by pukirahe Oct 3rd, 2012 at 4:46PM

I never whisper and I don’t like to hear whispers.
This way of talking only causes suspicion, distrust,
distraction. Anything needed be said should be said
openly. It is really not good to whisper in conferences,
gatherings, public meetings. Whispers between only
two persons in privacy are also not good.
Gossips, calumnies, rumors are usually spread in
whispers. They cause division, confusion, disorder
in all societies.
Perhaps, people will no longer whisper in civilized
and friendly communites.

Here at EP/Q&A.
I present myself up here many hours each day,
including Saturday and Sunday.
I want to consult with the netizens about all matters
concerning human life, especially the spirituality,
man’s true essence.
I believe that, with the Internet, our consultations
can be carried out freely, frankly and respectfully
to lead to mutual understanding for transforming
our world in a positive way.
Once we recognize the basic unity of One God,
One Mankind, One Religion… we may effectively
avoid lots of useless disputes which are disturbing
our communities.
I see that all our wildest dreams will be realized
with the wise using of the Internet by the mature
human race.

For in this Valley the traveler is flung into confusion, albeit, in the eye of him who hath attained, such marvels are esteemed and well beloved. At every moment he beholdeth a wondrous world, a new creation, and goeth from astonishment to astonishment, and is lost in awe at the works of the Lord of Oneness.”

WHAT ATTRACTS YOU MOSTLY?

What attracts you mostly?

Asked By: noblerain 39 minutes ago

Good Question? (3)

Posted by pukirahe Sep 11th, 2012 at 3:16AM

The Internet, since I dsicover that it is a huge school
for all mankind. More than that it is social community,
it is living and progressing, it enriches all people.
It is truly spiritual, because only human can create
it, use it and develop it.
I am wondering why authorities don’t use the Internet
as mobile movies or mobile libraries to provide
free information, free lessons, free entertainment to
people in all communities, especially in isolated areas.
I remember that we have used radio as public
information decades ago.
It is not expensive to supply a computer to each village
and let the board of administration select programs
to publicise. Moreover, other individual can use computers
at every educational center. This can be done easily now
as we do on tourist airplanes. Time will be used healthily
and the cultural level of the people will be enhanced.
Educators, please think more about this proposal.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “According to science, all forms of creation are endowed with life; this element of life and energy depending on environment and adaptations. Life as an attribute of growth is manifest to a minute degree in the mineral kingdom. It is more powerfully manifested in the vegetable kingdom and when we study the animal world we observe that the power of life is expressing itself through more capable mediums, showing manifold attributes. Ascending to the human kingdom we find that life, or what is figuratively called spirit, is declaring itself with knowledge in the utmost power and transcendency.

The more man strives along the degrees of attainment, the greater will be the unfoldment.”

WHAT CAME FIRST: CHICKEN OR EGG?

Posted on September 8, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

What came first: the chicken or the egg?

Asked By: rolandroger 50 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:21AM

Some kids see that the egg came first,
others see that the chicken came first with
their own eyes, why keep on asking this question?
The asker wants to be wise as to bring the matter
to the beginning of the universe.
Now, who knows when was the beginning of world?
Evolutionists, Creationists, Angosticists… try to explain
and nobody can give the most convincing answer.
Now, who can tell God came first or the universe came first?
The Evolutionists say that the universe came first with Big Bang
from no God. Then from where came the matter before Big Bang?
The Creationists say that God came first, which means that He existed
there as a King without a kingdom.
If I say some things more, that would be waste of time,
becuase who am I to elucidate this great subject?!
Please, read the Holy Books, I assure you that answers
to all questions are in there. Please, show your humility
before God.

Reply by Janife Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:29AM

nice answer. For me God came first, but now we have to analyse the concept of God. For me God is whatever it was that caused the Universe to come into existence. Whether it was a big bang, a chemical or some magical power it doesn’t matter what that was, that is for me God. I don’t know what God looks like, but God has no beginning and no end and exists without place. You are right about finding the answers to all these questions in the holy books. I like the way you said books and not books so you obviously respect them all. Thank you.

Reply by rolandroger Sep 8th, 2012 at 6:43AM

thanks a lot. I respect your answer very much. you are right that the question goes back to the beginning of this universe. for me it goes out of duality and the question of singularity. Is there a possibility that by creating a duality that there exist a uniformity of nothingness, a special kind of singularity where all energy and force can be ignited any time? at any place in space.

WHY IS IT HARD TO BE OURSELVES?

Posted on September 8, 2012 by joyfulwayfarer

Why is it so hard to be ourselves and if you are tell me is it easy?

Asked By: okaycafe 16 minutes ago

Posted by pukirahe Sep 7th, 2012 at 6:01PM

To know our self is hard, to be our self is easy.
Once I know my self is body; I enter physical
education and practice it.
When I know my self is intellectual, I enter human
education and practice it.
When I know my self is the soul, I enter divine
education and practice it.
With learning and practicing, I know why life
is difficult and I also know how to overcome.
In brief, all things are difficult due to lack of
knowledge and practice. Once we know well
and practice regularly, all will become easy.
Yes, practice makes easy and perfect.

Abdul-Baha says:

 “The prophets say that something else is necessary. It is true that education transforms the desert into a rose garden, the virgin forest into an orchard, saplings into trees, and single flowers into double and treble flowers, but there is a fundamental difference in men. You may know ten children of one country, in the same school, under the same master, treated and fed in the same way. One of these children may make great progress, others may remain stationary. In the innate nature there are differences of memory, perception and intelligence. There is a superior, a middle and an inferior degree which corresponds to the difference in the fundamental estates of creation. While recognizing the influence of education we must also become acquainted with the innate disposition.”
