Re: [www.keralites.net] ഖുര്‍ആനിലെ ശാസ്ത്ര സത്യങ്ങളില്‍ ചിലത് - ഭാഗം 6

Dear Mr. Mathew,

As long as someone talk about his/her religion and spirituality, I have nothing to comment about it. It is one's birth right.

But when someone talks about science, I have a bit interest in it. Do not think that anything can be published or posted under the immunity of religion. Unlike religions, there is no sensitivity as long as the science is concerned, because it is a path of thought always ready absorb new ideas with zero intolerance.

Restrict the social criticism to the limits of one's religion is theocracy which is the worst form of social order that stands just opposite to democracy.

Dear Mr. John

To avoid unhealthy discussions, it is advisable to avoid commenting on issues relating to religion, to which you do not belong.

Dear Friend,

On what basis are you stating that sun has been left with only 500 years of life? Please try to read a bit more on this subject or at least talk to a Physics professor next to you.

The religions and the science are two different and parallel paths that never meet at any point. The religions stay unchanged about their doctrines while science is under constant change and it involves into better and better precisions. The religions stand behind a book or a definite number of books that talk the same subject, but the science is keep on getting new books and new way of thoughts every time.

Whatever a Muslim may argue, Islam is established in the 7th century as per the history of human beings. That point of time, mankind was very much exposed to the scientific facts, because the process of 'knowing' or science has started more than 10,000 years ago. So some of the then-known scientific facts would have crept into the Quran.

One can believe either in the religion or in the science. But if you try to believe in both, every time you will face the constant clashes and contradictions between these two.

[www.keralites.net] Artificial leg, Retd Major Devender Pal Singh who completed the Airtel Delhi-Half Marathon on Saturday with a personal best timing of 2:45.00.

New Delhi: There were some adjustment problems for sure but that did not prove to be a deterrent for India`s first blade runner Retd Major Devender Pal Singh who completed the Airtel Delhi-Half Marathon on Saturday with a personal best timing of 2:45.00.

"There will never be an ideal situation for anything, whether it be sports, race or life. You have to cater for some sort of adjustment," said Singh.

"It definitely put a lot of challenge, but once you are in the sports field, there is no excuse," Singh said.

Interestingly, the phenomenon of `Blade Runner` became popular with South African quarter-miler Oscar Pistorius, who is known as "the fastest man on no legs".

Pistorious became a household name after qualifying for the World Championship finals of 400 metres earlier this year.

Singh, whose blade was funded by the Indian Army, surpassed his previous best timing of 3:15.00 clocked at the Mumbai Half-Marathon last year by half-an-hour.

For Singh, who came back from the brink of death during the Kargil war, the inspiration, however, comes from the life itself.

"Life itself is a challenge. When I was informed about amputation of my leg, not even for a single moment did I feel disheartened. I took it as an immediate challenge," revealed Singh.

The retired Major from the Dogra regiment lost his right leg during the Kargil war in 1999. He suffered 90 per cent disability as per the Army service conditions.

Singh is looking forward to run a full marathon and represent India in the Paralympics.

"I am looking forward to compete in the full-marathon. It will be an honour for me if I can represent my country in the Paralympics," said the armyman, but insisted that he was running for a cause.

Singh, who has Facebook community named `The Challenging Ones`, said "I am taking it as a cause. I wanted a platform where we can reach out to the challenged ones, as you call them, and motivate each other. I want to attract more and more people towards sports and adventure."

Singh revealed that his intention behind the run was to prove it to himself before inspiring the others.

"I wanted to prove that to myself. It is your mindset which shapes your vision. Your mind should control your body and not the vice-versa," Singh, who now works for a private bank, insisted.
