this isn't your first time here you know the rules you have 60 seconds for each question can god create a stone greater than himself babies that die go to heaven why didn't i die as a baby and now have to live with the risk of going to hell the universe is thought to be around 13.8 billion years old why did god hasha wait so long to create humans can god create a stone bigger than himself it's illogical to answer these types of questions i'm not saying there's no answer but it's not logical to answer this question because it is a paradox what would happen if an unstoppable train in an immovable wall collided if we said the wall would collapse well we noted that the wall couldn't collapse and

if we say the train would start to stop we mentioned the train couldn't stop so it would be illogical to try to find an answer to a question like this if i said yes that god could create a stone greater than himself you'd say i thought god was the greatest you're using the concepts greatest and greater and that's why this is a paradox so it is an immovable wall and an unstoppable train if i answered no to this question then one could ask how could a being who has the power to do anything not have the power to do this so this question is a paradox there aren't any yes or no answers to paradoxes the answers themselves are paradoxes for example in physics we don't compare different quantities

so if i asked you is 10 kilos greater than 163 centimeters you'd say that this is an illogical question you'd say these are different quantities when you ask if god can create a greater stone than himself do you perceive god as being able to be measured in centimeters you're saying that a single being rules the universe how do you know this can you prove it a lot of evidence exists about this let me tell you about one in this realm that we call the universe everything is connected everything is connected for example for an apple to exist here on earth we have to mention the solar system because that's how seasons occur everything that happens out there affects the earth for our solar system

to function properly the other solar systems need to function properly because anything that happens out there will also affect our solar system so that's why we say that to create a single apple on earth so you need to be able to control the whole universe that's how i can put together that this is all being controlled from a single source the universe is estimated to be about 13.8 billion years old why did god wait this long to create humans there's something fundamentally wrong with this question we as humans are bound to time so we use concepts such as before after quit to wait and not to wait but god almighty isn't bound by time so it's irrational and incorrect to use concepts like he

waited let's explain what not being bound by time means if an entity however big is bound by space and time it can't operate in a different space at the same time for example if i expanded you to a size of a building would you be able to simultaneously write a book in france turkey and argentina you are bound by space and time your size changes nothing but let's look at god almighty he has command over your body and command over another human's body in france and he has command over the solar system the stars the plants the smallest atoms and even cells using this as a basis for my argument i can say that the creator is not bound by space and time if he is not bound by space and time

concepts like before after now or later don't apply to him these concepts apply to us just because these bind you it's irrational to ask why did he wait he created time he is not bound by it he also doesn't exist in time because he isn't bound by space and time he is eternal so can you have two eternal creators there can only be one of something we call eternal and absolute there cannot be two let's explain this let's say we have two different colored dyes one is pink and the other one is yellow let's grant them the quality of being eternal now let's see if this works so i've granted both dyes with the quality of being eternal and gave you the pink dye you went home and spilled the pink one

and i spilled the yellow one here because we've granted them eternity the pink dye has started taking over everything first it took over the desk the house and then your neighborhood it's taking over everything it's going to keep going and it's the same for the yellow one it's taking over everything so now i ask you if the pink dye can't take over the areas that are yellow can it be eternal it can't the same is true for the yellow one if the yellow dye can't take over the pink areas it can't be eternal it is bound so the existence of two eternal beings is not possible eternity is singular humans are so small compared to the universe why would god deal with such small beings i see a flaw in

this comparison this comparison implies that humans are worthless worth is not determined by size for example a mountain can be huge but not alive so it cannot talk act or live by comparison a bee is much smaller than a mountain but even though it's so small the bee utilizes the mountain it can say things like this mountain was made for me the bees tools are more spectacular compared to the mountains humans also have the ability to perceive live be happy see and hear and to utilize the world around them i don't see this even in the largest objects the fact that humans were designed in this way no matter how small in size makes them very valuable it's irrational to look at the human form and

think humans are so small hence they're worthless why would god even bother because size does not determine the worth okay so an object's size doesn't determine its worth i understand so why does god deal with such small beings why does he command them to do things or forbid them to understand why humans were chosen we need to understand why the universe exists the reason the universe exists the sun rises and sets the rain falls and thousands of other events like this happen so humans can understand the messages behind these events and increase their love for their creator so humans seek their creator and strive to know him therefore it's logical that humans were chosen as the respondents

it's rational that humans are the addressees because humans possess the ability to perceive a turtle can't look at the benefits of the sun and find a path to its creator but a human can a human can understand the meaning of the sun and other things in the universe and can determine who the artist is so it is humans that can determine the significance of the universe babies that die go to heaven why didn't i die as a baby and now have to live with the risk of going to hell first we need to get rid of this thought you didn't die as a baby so you're bound to go to hell you can say this instead he went to heaven why am i going to hell you could go either way the choice is yours humans shouldn't

be saying these things it's against our nature if i said to you you'll play on one team your whole life and no matter how talented you are you'll never get promoted or demoted you'll stay in the same team with the same salary and lifestyle but you are so talented and if you use that talent you could get on the best teams and earn a higher salary and live a better life what if i said the choice is yours would you prefer a stationary life or if you believed in your talent would you say shouldn't i at least try you have the potential to achieve the highest places in heaven why would you desire to die as a baby when you have that much potential and never reach that potential you don't behave

that way in any other area of life and i'd like to ask you this is it better if babies went to hell would we also say we also deserve to go to hell if our creator tortured them a baby dies in an innocent state why would it go to hell the creator can do as he pleases with his creation brother we wouldn't be so fussy if allah created this baby directly in heaven instead of sending him to earth first what does it matter if this baby was sent directly to heaven or was first sent to earth and then heaven if allah has created him for heaven why does it matter where he goes first has he created you to go to hell i know from many verses that you are not created for hell the fact that he motivates

you to do good that he shows you the path to uncovering your true potential that he has sent you prophets and speaks to you through the quran are signs that he has not created you for hell but sometimes we perceive ourselves as having failed his commands and at that point we think i'm going to hell and we say i wish i were a baby so i could go to heaven but you could also say i wish i were using all of my capabilities better so i will be granted the highest levels of heaven this is more logical these are all the questions that we have for today we'll be back with harder questions next time you can ask us anything we trust the quran you can find the answers to these questions in a resale new

a genuine interpretation of the quran i tried to transfer to you what i learned from there we're always open to all questions you
