The op's point is so elementary here that I am surprised the self proclaimed geniuses here argue so foolishly...
Just because people say something happened do we believe it?
Just because text books give us history and science, does that make it all true?
have we become so stupid and lazy that we yell at the text book writers
For not proving all they say before our very eyes? Is it not our responsibility as
Students to worry less about who is right and instead discovery for ourselves what is right?
You people cry about hoaxes and brainwashing but you are hoaxing yourselves if you
think that burden of proof for what you believe for yourself is not on you alone.
all of knowledge is but a guide... But wisdom is discerning for one's self which guide is leading you off a cliff...
However unintentional it may be.
Science proves theories using days and weeks and months and sometimes years long
Experiments...
But wisdom proves faith through the experience of hundreds of generations.
But humans are stuck in what seems like a perpetual state of teenage rebellion... Always only seeing and
Hearing only what we already think should be or could be reality...
While constantly tearing down the spirits of those who share experience
instead of knowledge.edit on 4/4/2011 by TarzanBeta because: (no reason given)

So why exactly did God create these Jinns/Devils/Demons (whatever you want to call them) in the first place?
Why are they allowed to interact with us?
Why does God not step in and help us knowing what will happen if He does not?

The article you linked to is talking about UFOs, and connecting them to aliens/demons/jinns.
And there is no evidence for either demons or "alien greys" existence.edit on 4-4-2011 by skyjohn because: (no reason given)
There have been numerous accounts in islamic literature of jinns.
There are numerous books on the life of Harry Potter.
This doesn't make him real.
You talk about being enlightened but you're not even thinking logically about things.
Harry potter is filed in the fiction section
The koran is not. What evidence do you have that the koran is fiction?
Einstein wrote the the theory of relativity, does that make it fiction as well?edit on 4-4-2011 by THE_PROFESSIONAL because: (no reason given)
Told you you're not thinking logically.
I never said everything that is written down is a work of fiction.
There are works of fiction, and there are facts that can corroborated with evidence.
All religious books belong with the fiction.
The evidence all points to Demons not existing, having old books that mention them is not enough, you need other corroborating evidence to back up those claims.
You claim to be enlightened, but you sound very close minded to the evidence you have available to you.edit on 4-4-2011 by skyjohn because: (no reason given)

A misogynist pedophile flies to heaven on a winged horse. Yes that's quite a story but only a hoax if someone believes it. Oops!
Now "greatest hoax ever"? There are some contenders for that title but I would think the freak on Secretariat is in the top ten.
