  2. The amount of energy you spent on protecting evolution theory. And dont down play it now. Your first post was written as if you wanted to have a go at kulbir Singh. Had you spent that energy asking questions we would not be having this conversation right now. Go ask kulbir Singh how he translates life form. He wrote it up. This is the inherent problem with Sikhs. They will defend worldly knowledge or theories with everything they got. But when it comes to standing up for Sikhi. Well then it's up to the individual how they want to interpret Gurvani and make the mass follow it. But this is not all Sikhs fault. They grow up brainwashed by their western school system. They taught religions are all the same, but science is the hard fact. And we see that here in this topic. You may have spent 10 years studying science and you are all tangled up because someone didn't present science as you were taught. But what about that high school teacher or university professor who butchers your religion and you sit back and take it like good citizens because everyone is entitled to their feelings. What separate a Gursikh from a Sikh? When he hears bad mouthing of Sikhi, his core aad shakti is provoked and nothing matters more than speaking the truth.

  4. I think katha of charitarpakhiyan in gurdware would be great and then a explanation of what you can learn from each story and put it into context of today's time and culture. That would be great for awareness, social dilemmas, taboo subjects etc Isn't that the whole point

  6. Your broken record routine got tired like 10 years ago. Saltiness and bitterness is not an attractive quality. It's like you can't help yourself from making little digs. You give too much away because you lack self control to let some comments slide. It's like you feel compelled to excise your frustration EVERY.SINGLE.OCCASION someone mentions a certain issue that triggers you. That's not how men behave.

  11. It starts off as 8.4m life forms and then talks about how they can’t change from one life form to another. He cannot refer to the number of individual “life forms” given that there are 7.7 billion human life forms alone. So what else is he referring to? What counts in this 8.4m “life forms”?

  12. Not watched the videos but that post reeks of misunderstanding of evolution. Science doesn’t say we came from monkeys. It says we came from a common ancestor. Evolution is about change. Humans have changed - we are taller than humans 500 years ago. Look at wolves and dogs - dogs are essentially domesticated wolves. These are smaller changes and have happened over a relatively small timescale. Not everything changes or does so “quickly” - sharks, for example, have been around before there were trees. Kulbir Singh states there’s 8.4m species and that this is fixed. He states there can be no new forms of life. But look at how many species have become extinct. Tens of thousands have thought be extinct since humans have been around. The western black rhino is no longer around. Nor is the Javan tiger. Even the Dodo was fine until humans landed in Australia. Kulbir Singh states that everything must happen in Vaheguru’s will but for me it would not be outside of Vaheguru’s power to create through evolution. If the “underdog” must survive and win, then why do poorly and sick children die? They haven’t even a chance of winning the game of life. Shouldn’t Vaheguru help them? In truth, He supports whomever He wishes. The term “theory” gets tossed around by laymen as another term for “idea”. Theory is an explanation for events and can be used to predict future events. Example: fact or observation - if I let go of this apple, it will fall to the ground hypothesis - there must be something causing the apple to fall theory - an attractive force causes objects to fall to the ground. It can be calculated and has a value of 9.8m/s2 (on Earth). law - two objects sill exert a force on each othe which proportional to the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them At the end of the day, all scientific knowledge is the accumulation of time and effort of the human mind. It is not going to be perfect and is always open to revision. Only Vaheguru’s knowledge is perfect.

  13. I agree that we should keep an open mind about scientific theories that are prone to the limits of their respective eras, but Kulbir Singh's misunderstanding of even the basics doesn't inspire confidence in his conclusions. Seriously, he trips up in the first paragraph. Generally, it is unwise to travel the route of Islamic "scholars" and religious guides by attacking theories that seemingly are at odds with religious teachings. Eventually we'll foster a climate in Sikhi where we become the opposite of what our faith is admired for: rationality and common sense. These attempts to create a counter narrative are the signs of either a devious mind purposefully trying to defame Sikhi as a stone age irrelevance, or an idle mind with too much spare time on their hands.

  14. A sakhi I was unaware of, is the one from Guru Har Rai Sahib's time and their Sikh Suthra Shah, he was full of guile and with the thaapee of Guru Sahib literally got away with murder. From 25.40 onwards

  15. Fateh parwaan karro jiyo, Lodhi does not have any religious significance for Sikhs. Its a seasonal festival and Lodhi time is supposed to be the coldest part of winter and post Lodhi the winter is supposed to ebb. In Punjab the first Lodhi of newlyweds and 'boy child' are celebrated with gusto. Now in Punjab social organizations are demanding that the first Lodhi of the girl child also be celebrated like that of the boy child. Guru Rakha
