Iraq in the Bible, America in the Koran?

at the moment we all have our own ideas about the country called iraq, a friend of mine recently sent me an email with a list that surprised me- since i am not familiar with the modern names of many of the places mentioned in the torah, koran, and hebrew scriptures of the bible.

1. the garden of eden was in iraq 2. mesopotamia, which is now iraq, was the cradle of civilization!

3. noah built the ark in iraq 4. the tower of babel was in iraq 5. abraham was from ur, which is in southern iraq !

There was a special on History Channel International last week that had the complete history of the region that is now Iraq. It covered from Sargon the Great to Saddam. Those Assyrians really knew how to put the fear of them into the locals.

Climate: Natural disasters

i live in the tropics so we experience hot and rainy weather.

where i live the sun is very hot at this time that your skin feel as though it's on fire.

i have never experienced snow.

To say that the theory of evolution says we evolved from monkeys or apes isn't correct. It would be more correct to say we share a common ancestor with monkeys and apes.

Also, theories change because as we collect more data sometimes theories need to change, or be scrapped entirely to account for the new data. Religious dogma on the other hand tries to make the data fit the dogma.

I just discovered them a few weeks ago after someone sent me some a link to a youtube video with one of their songs. You can never have enough songs with robot voices.

i was promised that this generation would no means pass away.

(live forever book, pg.

154) i brought this up, although it has probably been discussed before, because i am sure some people right now are worrying how to handle an elder's visit or call.
