Exactly, it preserves some writings which in the beginning were popular with christians. For example it has a more elaborate and detailed story about the lives of Adam and Eve which most likely was one of the texts abandoned by the christian church.

that's also goes to christian. if they're considered did the same thing to jewish sources.

@marian said:

Probably it is true that it was compiled and edited mostly my Mohammed.

ah, a good statement.
well, that proves you have no knowledge at all about what you are talking about. since Muhammad was indeed illiterate. he wasn't well known for his ability to read or write.
let alone compiling and editing stuffs as comprehensively and integrally structured like that.

@marian said:

Also this religion sprung up in the same general geographical area as the previous 2, highly likely and possible that Mohammed made contact with Jews and Christians. It would have been amazing if it had been created in China or Japan in the 6th century. You would have had a serious argument if that were the case.

something must start from somewhere. he never did made intended contact regarding the belief with either jewish or christian. his world were only of those old pagans. he traveled only for trading. the first contact happened when he already have some revelation.

What is that suppose to mean? I have an issue with them and that's one of the major reasons why I also have an issue with the "holy" books that contain and prescribe them.

i see. i accept that as your personal point of view.
well, actually my most concerns personally is about how to make myself do best according the teachings.
for your issue with any "holy scriptures", you can always question each of them. one at a time. and i think, you can always test them including quran if you'd like to. scientifically, empirically, or whatever method you'd like to implement on. for Qur'an, it's still there if you want to test it. i do believe it comes from god. so, i'll let you and qur'an to have whatever inquiries you'd want to have.
as for now, i'll go downstairs for more coffee

cheers.

@marian said:

The quran also borrows heavily from christian writings,..

first of all Marian, it might be good if you have adequate knowledge on the matter and your statement. might be even better if you can prove it. since muslim believe that the quran was sent mostly because the rest of earlier scriptures were either vanished or corrupted.

who do you think wrote it? and how do you know he/she borrowed anything from earlier scriptures?

@unknownuser said:

The quran is as tainted with blood and atrocities in the same measure as the bible.

so the atheist don't have any kind of issue regarding blood and atrocities?

thank you mijnheer Wo3Dan
for the explanation and the link

I do try to buy meat from local farmers instead of the corporate brands.. a little more expensive but I don't mind..

interesting, i'd like to follow this thread.
there'd be a lot of things i might learn here

what about ComponentReporter++ v1.1 from TIG?

@unknownuser said:

Here's v1.1 of ComponentReporter++.rb.
It does report names, count of instances, nested instances/groups and areas of materials etc...

btw, i think i am going to use that plugin now though. it looks interesting

it wouldn't need to be considered as atheistic propaganda.
some people, in this case "muslim" may already know about those things before they've made such video or any other presentation.
for me, when i see the video, i think there's nothing really new on their presentation.
for others, i.e. atheist, that video might still have a crossroads ahead.
for me and any other unitarian people, that video is just another confirmation for what they've known.

Your screenshot certainly do look good!

it's not good Armstrong. it's gorgeous

thanks Dave

@massimo said:

Wonder why hijacking this topic with the same question you have asked two times on KT forum having already received an answer there...

i am sorry, i didn't know that. i just turned on my pc. and head straight to this forum.

[ed] wow.. thank you masimo for the reply and link there. i love you so muuuuccccchhhh...

hi Rick,

thank you for the reply. i already have that 3.16 SU2KT and IES sampler. even the 3.17 one.

the question was about adding icon or button, on the SU2KT toolbar featuring the ability to add IES directly without having to insert a spotlight and renaming it to be replaced by IES.

thank you Rick.

hi everyone,

may i ask you all about the IES in Kerkythea?
is there a way to add a button or icon to represent inserting IES into SketchUp model with KT?
sorry for bothering you all with these questions. but i can see that all of you in this post are indeed Kerkytheaer

thank you in advance.

As I was running through the new posts I noticed a post on "Deck Chairs" appearing just above a post on "the Titanic." For those for whom English is a second language, the phrase "rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic" refers to a person who worries about unimportant details at the expense of something important like a looming disaster. Interesting juxtaposition.

@unknownuser said:

Well dont give him any ideas. . .cuz he'll do it, and then where would I be???

i think Dave might already has a lot of Style he made himself
