This can only happen to cover up lies. This is  the reason why we can\u2019t question clergy about things like what\u2019s the  proof that God exists and what\u2019s the proof that Muhammad is the Prophet  of God. It seems like a great deceit to make sheep out of humans. Only  truth can stand the fierce scrutiny and criticism and still stand tall.<\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>God&#8217;s  attitude should be studied through His revelations and not through  people who profess belief in Him. If you look at the Qur\u2019\u0101n, the last  word of God, you will find that God repeatedly invites people to think,  repeatedly puts forward arguments, answers the opponents arguments and  asks them to bring forward their arguments (Qur\u2019\u0101n: 2:111, 21:24,  27:64). The Qur\u2019\u0101n not only allows but in fact challenges and demands  the opponents to experiment whether they could produce anything like the  Qur\u2019\u0101n (Qur\u2019\u0101n: 2:23).<\/p>\n<div>The  questions you raised and many other questions have been asked before  and answers have been provided by many scholars and many Islamic  websites. If the person who has asked these questions has encountered  Muslims who do not appreciate being challenged, then he needs to find  those Muslims who are better representations of the attitude that is  promoted in the Qur\u2019\u0101n, that is reasoning and intellectual challenging. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-04-02<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"5932\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why would God  want His creation to not ask, questions, criticize, debate or experiment  ideas that He gave us?
