What has hot climate got to do with that?

It is not about Arabs. It was always like that in most of the places. Girls were available for marriage when they hit puberty.

To be married at the age of fifteen during the time of the Holy Prophet (saw), and under the hot climate of Arabia, was not at all out of the ordinary.

I was referring to this.

I know. I just wanted to make things clear as it is oftenly used by militant atheists. What was Cersei waiting for to wed Sansa and Joffrey? It wasn't hot climate, winter was coming. Marriage in young age oftenly happened back then, still common in some areas.

I know that.

Dunno who Cersei, Sansa and Joffrey are though.

An example for marriage in young age for western culture. It is not something belong to only Arabs or other Barbarians from east.

Nikah= Islamic marriage ceremony (usually preformed at a mosque by an Imam) that precedes a traditional wedding ceremony (where friends & family are invited after which the couple begin to live w/each other) but it in almost all cases it doesn't mean the newly weds consummate their marriage/live together.
Hijrah= When Prophet Muhammad escaped persecution in Mecca and traveled to the city of Medina.

Thanks... found this article very helpful.

Less clothes.

Less clothes.

Considering the scorching heat and the sand attacks, people would've been covered up more than usual.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, analysis of over 63 scientific studies stretching back over decades concludes
Study found 'a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity' in 53 out of 63 studies

It takes lots of brainz to be convinced that everything happened because of coincidence.

 

[swag]

And even more brainz to contribute everything that can't be readily explained to spooky ghosts.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

Actually there might be some truth about the thing that atheists being mostly ''intelligent''. It's their arrogance caused by their thought of being too intelligent to bow down led them to same path with Satan. They too know, there is no such a thing as coincidence, but afraid to admit it to even themselves because of that 'pride'.

As opposed to the arrogant people who think the world was created for them.

Hmm, what? You don't believe in coincidence?

Are you suggesting that if myself and my friend go out shopping separately and both buy the same pair of shoes it is divine intervention?

Or do you mean the alignment of the planets, universe formation, etc? Religion doesn't explain them, and we can't yet explain everything, so ambiguity rules, and most probably will until the end of the human era.

 

[IrishZebra]

I choose to see signs sometimes which could be highly improbable events, I like to think there is something, but I'm humble enough to not be a shoe bomber about it.

 

[Vinny Del Pogba]

There is no god, ya'll. Let NDT school ya.

If you and your friend go out shopping separately and both buy the same pair of shoes, it might be a coincidence or there might be a purpose in it which we are not aware of.

On the other hand this is not coincidence; ''If the laws of nature were just slightly different, the delicate balance would not exist between hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. Without this balance thousands of critical molecular interactions would not happen. There are only a few elements that can sustain life through their unique properties. Any change would make life impossible.''

There is no shortage of examples. This is what the very same science which is worshipped by most of the atheists says. But their damn pride...

As opposed to the arrogant people who think the world was created for them.

Perfectly located and balanced planet with many defence mechanisms to protect the life forms living in it. Yes, i think that is too much for coincidence.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

You know what is the real coincidence? That the one god that you happen to believe in is the same one that exists and who fine tuned the earth to support life. So go sell your snake oil somewhere else.

 

[Turk_Bianconero]

So now you're in the phase of ''there is something but'' instead of ''there is nothing''. Atheist evolved into deist?
