The guy in the picture is adorable as fuck.

And all three of those areas are completely irrelevant, since God is also supposed to be all-powerful, thus making the existence of both evil and sin to be completely nonsensical

>>1968877
Its a let's redefine evil so God won't come off as evil thread.

More useful as a historical document than the bible and torah.

There's very little description about any historical events in the Quran. It's mostly allegory and poetry.

Most of the historical records we know about early Muslim history come from the Hadith and sparing contemporary records.

We do however know that the Quran is roughly contemptuous to Muhammad as we have Quran fragments that can be radio carbon dated to around the reign of Uthman (the Caliph who compiled the Quran). We also know from those fragments that the textual integrity of the Quran has been largely maintained.

>the textual integrity of the Quran has been largely maintained

After Uthman burned all other variants. And if you ignore all the different versions from differing vowels...

The odds that a randomly generated simulation decrease exponentially with each new second of life.

And if it's a deceitful god, then logically I'm not alone. The people I interact with are manifestations of a sentient mind.

You see, you can describe the world around you in a probabilistic sense by looking for the largest internally consistent system of logic.

>the largest internally consistent system of logic.

And what would that be?

You're a Boltzmann brain that sprung into existence in the last 15 minutes. All of your memories from your mother coddling you to the last shit you took are false.

don't take my word for this but IIRC the speeds at which piston engine planes flew were too small to make heavily swept wings work

>>1968587
Because the advantages of swept wings come into play when airspeeds exceed ~250+ kts. Conventional straight wings (ie non-supercritical wings) do not behave the same in compressible flow, and the boundary layer has difficulty staying attached, reducing control effectiveness. Also, stall characteristics for swept wings are terrible, and if an aircraft were to stall it wouldn't be pretty. Pilots did not have a whole lot of experience or flight time before they were deployed, so it's even more dangerous.

Basically the planes did not go fast enough to require a swept wing.

Interesting fact, nearly all early-war German fighter planes used Rolls Royce engines.

Hitler was the Napoleon of his day

LITERALLY Napoleon

No, it was Antisocial Personality Disorder, also known as sociopathy

I heard there was an uncontacted tribe near India that we know absolutely nothing about because they don't let anyone on their island. Anyone know about this? I don't even have a name.

Well, there are other such instances. I don't think any of them, including yours, is scientifically "inexplicable" tho and i don't know why'd you call it that.

But Stanislav Petrov, a soviet commander in charge of missile defense, correctly deduced that the imminent american missile attack that was reported might be a false alarm and thus ordered no retaliation.

Alexander the great almost died very early in his campaign but was saved at the last moment.

Imagine if he wasn't saved

>>1967889
Ah thanks for the correction. I was mainly referring to the odds that the Cuban Missile Crisis has been given as being equal to playing Russian Roulette 13 times and winning.

Look up Admiral Lord Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald. Very interesting but very controversial.

"Mother, I am stupid."

>>1967850
>"Mother, I am stupid."

What did he mean by this?

>>1967869
Old people use dumm/stupid a little differently sometimes. E.g. my Oma referred to little kids as "noch dumm"/ "still stupid"; a state where learning is not yet acquired. Maybe he faded away mentally and described the feeling that way.

Korea. Soviet/Russian documents about activity of occupation army since 1945 still secret. It was up to 70000 regular soldiers (not newcoming volunteers) total.

Does the dogfight of Niš count when both sides mistook one another for the Luftwaffe?

>>1967749
Are there any reports of them firing at each other? Them being on the same country doesn't mean much by it's own.

I thought discussion of fictional characters was what /lit/ was for?

Job is a myth, one that tells you that you must obey the Yahweh priesthood even though your life is shit.
And he didn't really overcome anything, Yahweh let Satan torture him for a while then he got bored and stopped. Then Yahweh gave Job back his wives and camels and everything else that shitskins praise.

>>1967666
Yes but the way he withstood it is inspiring.
>>1967665
I'm asking for real people not literary chracters, I just gave Job as an example. Do you guys admire people in history for things like that?

I want this to be a thing but... do you know where you are? I think you made a wrong turn some where.
