In our day, some circles hold the view that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution does not contradict with religion, and that those who renounce the theory of evolution unnecessarily promote it. This view, however, includes many misconceptions. It is the result of a failure to grasp the main tenet of Darwinism and the extremely dangerous outlook it mandates. That is why, for those who have faith in the existence of God, the mere Creator of all living-beings, yet carry the conviction that "God created living beings through evolution", it would be quite useful to primarily review the fundamental tenets of the theory. In this essay, in an endeavor to warn believers who have this misconception, some essential scientific and logical explanations regarding why the theory of evolution is not compatible with Islam and the fact of Creation it introduces to mankind, are provided. The basic tenet of Darwinism holds that living beings came into being spontaneously, as a result of coincidences. This view is completely contrary to the faith of Creation. The most important misconception of those who think that the theory of evolution does not contradict with creation is their assumption that the basic assertion of the theory of evolution is that living beings came into existence through evolving from one another. Accordingly, they comment: "There is no reason why God did not create all living beings by making them evolve from one another; so what is the rationale to raise objection to it?" However, there is a very important point here which is ignored: the essential difference between the advocates of evolution and creation is not based on the question of whether "living beings appeared individually or through evolving from each other. The main question is "whether living beings came into existence by chance and as result of natural events, or they were consciously created?" The theory of evolution, as known, claims that lifeless chemical compounds came together by chance and as a result of randomly occurring natural phenomena, they formed first the building blocks of life and ultimately life. Consequently, in its core, this claim accepts time, lifeless matter and chance to be creative powers. Even the layman, who is somewhat acquainted with the literature of evolution, is aware that this is the basis of the claims of evolutionists. Not surprisingly, despite being an evolutionist scientist, Pierre Paul Grass�, acknowledges the implausibility of the theory and summarizes what the concept of "coincidence" means for evolutionists: "...Chance becomes a sort of providence, which, under the cover of atheism, is not named but which is secretly worshipped." (Pierre Paul Grass�, Evolution of Living Organisms, New York, Academic Press, 1977, p.107) That life is an arbitrary by-product of the compound formed by time, matter and coincidence, on the other hand, is a nonsense claim unacceptable by those who have faith in the existence of God as the sole Creator of all living beings. Believers should assume the responsibility to save societies from such perverted and unreal beliefs and warn them. The claim of "coincidence" put forward by the theory of evolution is denied by science Another significant fact that deserves a special consideration about this subject is that scientific discoveries also definitely refute the evolutionist claims that "life emerged as a result of pure coincidences and natural phenomena." This is because there are extraordinarily complex examples of design in life. Even the cell of a living being is a great wonder of design that totally annuls the concept of "coincidence". This superior design and plan in life are certainly indications of God's unique and matchless creation, of His eternal knowledge and might. The efforts of evolutionists to explain the origins of life with chance are rejected by science in the 20th century and today, in the 21st century, they met a total defeat. (See Harun Yahya, Blunders of Evolutionists, Vural Publishing) Indeed, the reason why they deny Creation although they see this fact is their blind adherence to irreligiousness. God did not create living beings through an evolutionary process Since the existence of creation, in other words, a conscious design, is obvious, the only question that remains is "through what kind of a process the living beings were created." The misconception of some faithful people emerges right at this point: The wrong reasoning that "Living being could have been created by evolving from one another" is actually related to how the process of creation occurred. Indeed, had God willed, He could have created living beings through an evolutionary process from nothingness, as the abovementioned individuals propose. And had science proved that living beings evolved from each other, we could say, "God created life through evolution." For instance, if there were any evidence available that reptiles evolved to form birds, then we would say, "God transformed reptiles into birds with His command 'Be'!". Ultimately, both these living beings individually possess bodies overflowing with examples of perfect design, which cannot be explained away by chance. Transformation of these designs into one another -had such a thing really happened- would surely be another evidence for creation. However, the situation is not so. Scientific evidence (especially the fossil record and comparative anatomy) point to the contrary; there is not single evidence on earth that an evolutionary process took place on the earth. The fossil record clearly indicate that different living species did not appear on earth through evolving from one another by fine gradations, but that on the contrary, distinct living species appeared on earth suddenly fully formed and without any preceding ancestors similar to them. Neither birds sprung from reptiles, nor fish transformed into land-dwelling animals. Each living phylum is created individually with its traits particular to its kind. Even the most renowned evolutionists had to accept this fact and confess that this provides an evidence for Creation. For instance, evolutionist paleontologist Mark Czarnecki confesses as follows: "A major problem in proving the theory (evolution theory) has been the fossil record; the imprints of vanished species preserved in the Earth's geological formations. This record has never revealed traces of Darwin's hypothetical intermediate variants - instead species appear and disappear abruptly, and this anomaly has fueled the creationist argument that each species was created by God. (Mark Czarnecki, "The Revival of the Creationist Crusade", MacLean's, 19 January 1981, p. 56) Especially during the last fifty years, developments in various scientific fields such as paleontology, microbiology, genetics and comparative anatomy, and new discoveries show that the theory of evolution is untrue and living beings appeared on earth all of a sudden in their distinct and perfect forms. Therefore, there is no reason to suggest that God employed the process of evolution in Creation. God created every species individually and at one moment, with His command of "Be!" This is a certain and explicit fact. Conclusion It is of vital importance for people of faith to be alert and cautious against the ideological systems committed to struggle against God and religion. For 150 years, Darwinism provided a so-called scientific ground for all anti-religionist ideologies that caused misery for mankind, such as fascism, communism, and imperialism and legitimized the merciless practices of those who adopted these philosophies. Hence, it would not be right to ignore the inner truth and the real purpose of such a theory. For each Muslim of conscience, it is a major responsibility to disprove every anti-religious ideology rejecting the existence of God with a thought struggle, to demolish falsehood with truth and warn people.

Anxiety - Things You Must Avoid In Order To Get The Right Anxiety Treatment
Getting the right anxiety treatment is difficult, even today. Sometimes it can make things even worse, especially when you do not find the right doctor or get the wrong therapy. Sofia, one of my friends, had this bad luck. After Sofia gave birth to a wonderful girl about five years ago her problems began. She has always been suffering from an eating disorder but now she got a depression as well. Plus panic and anxiety disorders. Too much? Well, that is not all. She was smart enough to look for professional help. She went to a psychologist for a full year without any success. She got medications and tried Paxil, Zoloft, Neurontin and others. They did more harm than help. The drugs made her either very sleepy or the opposite. Sofia ended up totally frustrated and even more anxious and depressed. The things began to change when she consulted a psychiatrist who did really care. He made a full check up. He listened to all her problems and made notes about all the drugs she had used before already with no success. The psychiatrist was specialized in anxiety and also eating disorders. That is why he knew more than an average MD about all the things. He was also more knowledgeable than a psychologist. A psychologist is not an MD. The psychiatrist found out that one of her problems was Dopamine and not Serotonin. She mostly got medications for Serotonin before. Sofia finally found somebody who listened and took care of the problem carefully. Make sure your doctor knows about brain chemistry and is specialized in the problems you have. Otherwise you may end up frustrated and with therapies that make your problems even worse. Highly Recommended Reading: Anxiety Therapy General Anxiety Disorder Gerd C. Pacher is an expert author on anxiety. His articles about anxiety symptoms, causes and treatments have been published on numerous web sites, forums, blogs and ezines all over the Internet.

What is an Herbal Supplement?
The herbal supplement is a supplement that will provide you body with various sustenance necessary for your health and which is based of herbs and natural products. There are a wide kind of different varieties of herbal supplements available in the market nowadays. The benefits that each herbal supplement claims are as well many and diverse. A lot of the benefits that a select number type of herbal supplement or supplements claims on its label are not supported by scientific evidence or scientific research. Built on information from medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay, preliminary research on St. John's wort for depression and gingko biloba for improvement cognitive function has not shown much of a benefit beyond that of the placebo effect. That doesn�t mean though that all herbal supplements are fake. That only means that there survives such a chance until even more research is done. You are able to find a wonderful range of different brands, ingredients, and doses of herbal supplements in health food stores, grocery stores, pharmacies, discount stores, etc. Built on information from medical correspondent Dr. Emily Senay, there are at least 880 different variations of the 10 best selling herbs. It can transform into very confusing to select the best herbal supplement. Many brands change significantly in the ingredients wore in production of a couple type of herbal supplement and in recommended dosages. The prices vary significantly too. You are able to absolutely find the cheap or discounted herbal supplements, however with the cost drop the quality usually drops. As well with cheap herbal supplements you have a greater possibility of purchasing a fake product. Consult with your doctor or even more health professionals before you run taking a select number type of herbal supplement. Herbal medicine is the use of plant and herb extracts for their therapeutic value. Most plants contain and manufacture chemical substances that aid in healing and even more physical treatments. Herbal medicine is the oldest form of healthcare and constitutes a key role in the development of modern medicine as we know it today. Back when technology was however unheard of, primitive men utilised the vast flora around them to the fullest extent, observing both plant and animal life and their components, eventually yielding birth to herbal medicine. In a learn per Globe Health Organization on herbal medicine assume, about 80 % of the world's populace however rely on herbal medicine to cure certain ailments and about 74 % of the drugs we apply today contain at least one botanical element. As an example, Chinese Herbal Medicine's assume of ephedrine to cure respiratory conditions however survives in the present time. Ephedrine remains an active ingredient in most of the commercial drugs that are being prescribed to relieve asthma symptoms. Herbal medicine is defined by three schools of thought: Ayurvedic Herbalism, Traditional Chinese Herbalism and American Herbal Medicine. While both Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicine have moved on to advanced forms, american herbal medicine remains a share of folk treatments. Herbal medicine is, first and primary, holistic. It aims to address not just a particular symptom, however also to help the whole body rejuventate strengthen itself. And while there is not a scientific evidence that all herbal medicines claiming to have healing powers are actually effective, the number the herbal medicines that have been placed under clinical testing have proved their worth. The list of known kinds includes echinacea, which is wore to temper colds, St John's wort, wore to treat mild depression (without applying Prozac), and hawthorne berries, which help in the recovery process from mild heart failures. Is herbal medicine a direct substitute to modern medication? It depends. While herbal medicines are extracted naturally from plants, not all are safe to use; particularly if it's taken with even more varieties of treatments that are likely not to be complementary. Also, herbal medicine is occasionally used only for mild ailments. If the symptoms are even more fantastic, it's best to consult a trained practitioner of herbal medicine who can explain which ones are appropriate and recommend dosage levels and frequency. Presently, most of the recommended herbal medicines fall outside of standard drug regulations, so, not all of their claims to fame are guaranteed and true. And even as common feel tells us that herbal medicine has been around for thousand of years, yielding an impression that it's quite an authority, it's not recommended to self-diagnose. Always keep in mind that herbal medicines are however medicines and, so, share the likelihood of having side effects as regular commercial drugs. A select number of us have this misconception that because herbal medicines are natural, it's 100% safe. This is not true constantly. The best defense against the possible side effects herbal medicines can give is to educate ourselves with the basics on the herbal medicine in question and to apply it with caution.

New Nano Technology Touts Solar Solution
When you receive the Seal you will begin to care about the environment. A new technology is being developed that may greatly help preserve the environment by making efficient and cheap solar power a reality. The technology makes use of nanotechnology--the production of material at very small sizes. The material is called "Nano Flakes," which are tiny crystals that absorb all the light from the sun. The Danish Martin Aagesen found the new material while working on his doctorate degree. He discovered a perfect crystalline nanostructure which he says would make the perfect solar cell. Solar power is plagued by high cost of production and inefficiency in turning sunlight into energy. This technology promises to change all that, greatly reducing costs and much more efficiently transferring the sun's energy. The costs in production of solar cells can be reduced because less of the silicon semiconductors are needed. That is achieved by the use of nanotechnology. And the new solar cells will be much more efficient because the energy does not have to travel as far in the solar cell so less of the energy will be lost in the process. Martin Aagesen says that solar cells using nano flakes may be able to capture 30 percent of the energy in the sunlight. That is twice as much as today's solar cells are converting. This new discover opens up a world of promise--a Heaven of promise--for solving the problem of pollution from energy. Solar cells operate virtually pollution-free day in and day out. It means that a lot more electricity can be produced from solar cells since it will be much cheaper to produce the solar cells. So they will cost less to buy while they work better at the same time. Martin Aagesen is the director of Sunflake Inc, the company that is developing these Nano Flakes and hoping to put them into production. The website of the company tells a little more about the technology. The substrate is the material the process happens on. Relatively little solar-grade material is needed to produce the Nano Flakes, saving considerable money in the manufacturing process. And there is no need for a lattice-matched substrate, which is needed for the older and less efficient versions of solar cells. The new substrate does not need any solar-grade material to produce it. When you are sealed you will begin to care about the environment. You will begin to understand that excessive pollution is unhealthy for the earth and the people living on it. You may not be a scientist who has made a discovery like this Martin Aagesen. But you can take action. You can look for new products like these new solar cells when they are available to the public. You could power all the electricity needs for your house with these solar cells. That way you would not use electricity that is produced by generating any kinds of toxic or dirty waste, like nuclear or coal. When you are sealed God will show you how to care for the environment. He will plant a little garden in your soul so you will be just like a little fertile earth. And as an earth you will not want to pollute yourself when you receive the Seal. And now Jason invites you to get your FREE report Are You Making These Mistakes as a Christian? And "Get God's Seal of Approval and Get the Victory Over Evil" Jason Witt More Details
