For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) In reply Jesus declared, I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. (John 3:3) Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6) That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scripture says, Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame. (Romans 10:9-11)
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23

No. Skeptic Magazine was started by Michael Shermer, who, I'm pretty sure, was already an atheist by the time he started the magazine. If you'll look at what I said, you'll see that I stated that the late Steve Allen was heavily involved in the critical thinking movement. If you want to find more on Steve Allen's involvement, google "Dumbth."

What I said in response to Elim 10's question was that Skeptic is not a specifically atheist magazine, though it leans heavily toward atheism. It is specifically a critical thinking magazine. Among the things Skeptic debunks - along with creationism - are: astrology, psychic phenomena, dowsing, reincarnation, faith healing and much more.

Ah, cool, thanks for the clarification, Tim.

Do they look at Darwin's theory of evolution with the same skepticism?

Yes, all scientific theories are checked out. However, since this thread is actually supposed to be about Islam, it would probably derail it if we go off on a discussion of Darwinian theory.

The next issue of Skeptic, which was just sent to the printers, will be devoted to Islam. My article, "Mythology in the Qur'an" will be published in that issue.

Sorry, Algee, the internet access is only for subscribers to Skeptic. I should have clarified that.

I'll tell you what: You can buy the single issue on Islam, or look at a copy in your local library or wait until after the magazine has come out for me to post the article on my website, timcallahan.info. That last will be early July.

Meanwhile, if you have any specific questions on mythology in the Qur'an, I can answer them here.
