An alternate answer might be ‘two ones’ rather than eleven.

Mostafa,
How does one measure Truth?
If I write the number 1, and to the right of it I write another 1, I
see that I have the number 11. But if I set an apple on the table and
then place another apple just to the right of the first apple, I do
not have 11 apples. I have 2 apples. Under the conditions I laid
out, both answers are true. So Truth appears to be subjective. My
only proof that 1 and 1 are 11 is because I have written them down
alongside one another. But I can easily prove that one apple and one
apple equal two apples, because I can pick one up in each hand.
Tangible proof. Remember when I wrote about the Holy Men in the
Middle Ages debating how many Angels can dance on the head of a pin?
There can be no True answer. No one has ever seen an Angel dancing on
the head of a pin, let alone a number of them. We don't even know if
Angels can dance. If I place one Angel on my sofa and I place another
Angel next to the first Angel, how many Angels do I have on my sofa.
There are only two answers. One is, none. And the other answer is, I
don't know.
If I place a book in the lap of a young child and say, "This is the
Word of God, and you must read it and read it until you know it by
heart, how do you know if it is or if it is not the Word of God? The
honest answer is that you do not know. And even if you begin to
suspect that it is a book of Fairy Tales, you have only my word as to
whether it is true or not. And to help you, I will write a book
explaining the original book. And my son will write a book explaining
my book. And others will write more books and teach others about the
Truth This is why I find accepting God or Allah impossible. It's all
smoke and mirrors. In fact, smoke and mirrors are more tangible.
What is tangible however, is our ability to manipulate others in order
to get our way. Or to make our point.
My Pastor once said to me, "You must step out in Faith." "So", said
I, "If I truly believe that no car will hit me, I can step off the
curb in Faith, and reach the other side?" Accepting without tangible
proof is pure foolishness in our daily lives. What makes it different
in our Spiritual Lives?
No, it doesn't work that way. Whether we were created or happened, we
developed, or were given a brain and a curiosity. As small children
we are naive, and vulnerable to predators. We learn through trial and
error. We also learn from the wisdom of our parents and teachers.
But their teachings can be measured tangibly.
As we say, "the proof is in the pudding".
Yet the most important information impacting our life, both in this
world and in the next, we must take on Faith. Really now, does that
make any sense at all?
The day might come when we will uncover answers to questions regarding
the existence of a Creator...or how we came to be. Look at all of the
information and devices we now have, that we once thought to be magic.

Carl, the subject is thoroughly prevalent. Roger, where are the----- Message truncated -----
evidence of evolution's authenticity? Various archeologies are
allegedly the proof of evolution theory. Nonetheless, none of them
presents decisively empirical evidence for the evolutionary
proposition. All of these are mere speculations based on dithery
presumptions. What is the initial motive that brought the tineist
particle into actual existence? Evolution is the Darwinian myth by
which modern Atheists seek refuge with to marginalise faith. I want
your own knowledge on the subject. Replicating a pro evolution website
won't do you any good. I want to particularly discern the structural
fundament of Evolution. It is mostly philosophical rather than
controversially scientific. I wish you good luck with providing
sufficiently testable evidence. I fathom though why religion
generically might be of primally inveterate molestation for you. It
persistently hassles your profoundly encompassed conscience. This is
why you are mentally perturbed. Carl, if
