As Salam alaikum
Jazak Allah for you post my brother A. Good to put in my toolbox for dialogues.
I'll share what I like to point out. Agnostics will have to explain creation with science. Like oops, here's earth. Big cosmic accident. I then ask, Have anyone ever heard of a tornado or hurricane tearing through a city or village and a house ends up being built? That would be much more likely to happen statistically. Has a volcano ever erupted and ended up forming just the foundation of a house? None of these things have ever been recorded as happening and never will. These natural events are, in my opinion (as meager as it is), ALLAH's Way of Showing us that without His Mercy and Help, creation would just degrade into chaos. I mean, blackholes, supernovas, volcanos on other planets. It seems that the universe is just one volitale couldron waiting to boil over. ALLAH does not let this happen though, not until the Last Day, that is.
Just thought I'd share.
As Salam alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu
