It is usually futile to try to call atheists to Islam because atheists are arrogant in their thought process as they replace God with themselves.
If the painting is there, there must be the painter.
The existence of God can neither be proved nor disproved. If it were possible to prove, there would be no need for faith
The knowledge of the physical world is obtained in the lab. The knowledge of the spiritual world can only be obtained from God's guidance.
The knowledge of the spiritual world can only be obtained from God's guidance.
So faith is a way of obtaining knowledge in Islam, but only knowledge pertaining to the spiritual world. What then are the unchanging characteristics of spiritual knowledge that distinguish it from physical knowledge?
(I say unchanging because much that is considered physical knowledge today used to be considered spiritual. For example, men once looked to religion to explain the rising and the setting of the sun, & that knowledge was considered spiritual. Nowadays of course a child can explain the process with the use of a model solar system. Knowledge that was once considered spiritual is now firmly in the realm of that which can be known by reason.)
How do you know that? In other words, must I as an atheist accept that statement on faith, or is there a rational explanation for why I must cede certain types of knowledge to faith?

That we can never know it on our own. No amount of experimentation or reasoning can tell us the truth about that which God has hidden from us (what the Quran calls Al-Ghayb). Things like God's existence, what He looks like, the creation of man, the angels, the devils, the soul and life after death.
I've been Muslim since birth, but I also read the Bible, read from the Bhagavad Gita and the Book of Buddha, The Tao Te Ching, the mystic stories of native Americans and the atheist writings of Neo Tech. You will never expand your mind and enrich your soul if you stick with what you've been told and with your narrow circle of like-minded people.
now if you could answer this, I'll give up. Could you explain this: "There are 3 bricks lying on the road. These 3 brick suddenly standing above each other. There is no one who make it stand to each other."
Good to know that you read the Quran. That ends my responsibility toward you as a fellow human being. You've said earlier that I'm not going to convince you and you most certainly will never convince me of atheism, so it's difficult to see what we can add to this discussion. Peace.

1. The water is having the right percentage of hidrogen and oxygen, it is not solid nor gas.
2. The range between the sun and the earth which is perfect.
3. The scientists had declare over and over again in the 21th century that if there was even 0,00000...1 fault, then the earth wouldn't be created like now and so too with everything in Allah's nature.
4. The scientist already said that the universes were created out of nothing. While we live in this earth having oxigen, water, sun heat, atmospheres which are the shield from the radiants of the sun.
5. Evolution never existed because there were no animals which were a half transformed. That explained in an animal which could produce a hot and poisonous liquid sprays, and the liquid was inside its belly, If evolution happened to this animals, then these animals will die before that, because it saved that kind of liquid and it does have a protection wall inside its stomach.
"These uncertainties aside, it is becoming clear that genomes are not the randomly arranged set of genes that we might have imagined them to be. But is this also true at a smaller scale? For example, could natural selection explain which genes are next to each other on a given chromosome? The clustering of broadly expressed genes13, such as those for the everyday running of cells, suggests that small-scale gene arrangements are not always random. These could be exceptions rather than the rule, however, and clarification of the issues awaits the sequencing of the complete genomes of more organisms."
This means that Allahu Al Mushawwir(The Fashioner) which made it into being by putting genes in order. Agnostic got no part in Nubuwwat of Rasulullah.

Hybrid marriage came from Ikhtiyar (action) of men to marry them. Allahu Ta'ala only marry between a she and a he. The so called volution could not breed a he with a he, or a she with a she.
I didn't say that there is nothing you could say to convince me, merely that what you'd have to do would be to convince me that there are types of knowledge which I can't obtain through observation and reason alone. [/qoute]
I don't have time, but let me quickly correct what you think and what you expect.
First let take your thought, do you have a brain? well that is a reasonable question isn't it. How do you know you have a brain. Did you use observation and reason alone to tell you 100% that you have a brain.
Ok, you took a dead human and cut his head, then seen a white gelatin type substance. Observation right.
Now prove to me that you have exactly the same thing in your head.
Are you sure?
Ok, you got me, there is a high probable chance that you do.
You didn't know that you had a brain that was white and gelatin type substance until you read or someone told you that.
So why is it when God tells you that he exists, has all these beyond human comprehension qualities, you say well it's a lottery ticket.
You are not looking to the Quran with a pure heart. Of course observation and reason will lead you to believe the heart has no function except to pump blood. But then again if you look into that uncharted human phenomenon you will find studies that cells have a tendency to hold feeling and thought in heart transplants.
So to conclude, you need to accept things because you or man as a whole has no complete knowledge of our realities. Thus far we been able to describe laws and from our point of reference. Philosophy, in my opinion is just a waste of valuable time.
