| According to the Old Testament, God created man out of earth and woman out of man's rib ! People are born and die only
once. However, their souls will be patiently waiting in the graves for
the final day of Judgment. On this day God will weigh the sins and merits of each and every individual
in a balance and put them into heaven or hell fire eternally depending upon their
balance amount of merit or sin ! Not even twentieth century science has
succeeded in making these discoveries.
No rational being will ever accept such theories. An
unbiased comparison of these with the Hindu ideas on the same topics will
clearly show up who is superstitious and who is scientific and rational. "I am no Hindu, but I hold the doctrine of the Hindus
concerning a future state to be incomparably more rational, more pious and more likely to deter men from vice, than the horrid
opinions inculcated by Christians on punishments without end" thus wrote Sri William Jones to Earl Spencer.
Now, let us turn to Islam. The doctrine that Islam is the only true religion, Allah is the only true God and that Muhammad is the
last and the best of prophets is as ridiculous as saying to a thirsty man. "if, and only if, you draw water from this particular well,
call it as pani and drink it, your thrust will be quenched and not otherwise !"
