Hey, **Jam Shady** , are you still out there? I’m still waiting for a response…

Don’t hold your breath, zev. I quoted a question directly from the Qur’an and he still hasn’t answered it. Heck, if he’s not going to respond to something the Qur’an itself asks, he’s certainly not going to bother with piddling ol’ us.

It looks like **Jam** is no longer with us. My guess is that this thread has forced him to do some hard thinking.

**Jam Shady** , when you’re done, come back and let us know what you’ve worked out. I know that critically examining what you’ve always believed to be true isn’t easy.
