I believe there to be an absolute truth that explains everything. A long the way we can explain many of the mysteries of the universe but there will be a point where it stops - I think. Perhaps it stops with the creation of the universe simply because we're living in a physical universe and won't be able to make experiments that proves other dimensions and living things in those dimensions.
Let's say there are other dimensions from ours. That lives outside of time as we know it, like the omnipresent God that the Bible describes. Let's imagine this being, this God, is actually a loving God that wants to create life and beings with a free will to love him back. This is where I personally put my faith because by observing this world and the way things are it makes perfectly sense in my head.
And Muslims beliving that their faith is the right one doesn't make it the right one because they violate so many things. There's no prophecies (which there should be, since they claim to be the third abrahemic religion). They violate The New Testement saying that you can't remove or add to the teaching of Christ. They did by making a complete new book introducing the law once again that Jesus repealed and put into our hearts instead through the Holy Spirit. If you study these things it's very clear that Islam is a wolf in covered in a cheep coat.
We can't save ourselves through good acts. One sin is enough for your judgement, just like in real life. If you killed a person, you can't say you are sorry and not go to prison. God is the righteous judge that has to judge you because of your sinful nature and only through the sacrifice of Jesus are you saved.
And you are saved from eternal separation from God, the so called Hell. Hell is where God is not, but Hell isn't eternal. It will end in the final judgement and be cast in to the lake of fire which some interpreted to be the Sun. But that's not relevant. What is relevant is to choose Life over the only thing we are absolute certain about - Death.
How can you interpret the teaching of Jesus any other way that only through him can you be saved? Anyone saying differently is misguided. You listen to the teaching of a man with no authority to claim something else that is not in the Bible.

Ofc there is a truth out there. Also there is many false truths. Its just determining which is which. IMO it will never stop. It's a infinite regress. There will always be something to discover. IF the Multi verse is correct. There is no telling what is out there man. For all we know there could be creators of universes. Maybe like a God for each universe or something but that is pure speculation so I won't claim all that to be true. It's all about probability IMO.

Where did you learn this from?
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=prophecies+in+the+quranHate to say this but they believe their holy book has prophecies also.
IMO while the Quran was being complied they probably didn't know anything about the New Testament of the Bible.
You have to keep in mind. Information didn't fly around like in our time.
My point stands that Religion is subjective as much as music.

You would have to prove any of this. A collection of writings back then gives no weight to the claim.
