[quote][blue]Which of us makes the claim, I do not know. I can simply say that you make the claim that 'mermaids' exist. Therefore the onus of proving their existence is upon you.[/blue]

Kindly refer to your post of September 22. You have stated and I quote:

[blue]"About first argument, I would like to share with you that mermaids have a name but they do not exist".[/blue]
Hope you remember making the claim,so the onus of proving the same is on you.

[blue]Since I want to continue the dialogue, I would like to tell you that a name or title definitely is devised to refer to some entity. However, the name itself does not furnish enough evidence that the thing in question 'in reality' exists.[/blue]
So you agree that a name or title is devised to refer to an ENTITY. And that 'if it has a name it exists, thus Allah exists'. Let us first resolve this point before we discuss the nature of existance.

[blue]If your line of argument is true, then you are compelled to believe in Zeus, Aphrodite and the all mythical figures of Greek Mythology. If you believe in them because they have names, then you have real problem in accepting another God - who claims to be one.[/blue]
Yes I know that Zeus and Aphrodite are among dozens of gods in Greek mythology. This does not create any problem for me,I know a dozen more gods in Hindu mythology and other religions. Your this argument does not refute the existance of god. Infact have not you yourself  proved the existance of so many gods. This does not lead me to accepting another god. I need only to prove Oneness of God. But first we have to agree that if it has a name it exists. And every thing that exists have its own distinct attributes.

Regards.
