Didn't Adam name all animals and did he name the dinosaur or dragon?
The Bible says that Adam named all the animals. It doesn't mention particular ones.
19And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
---- Allah the Exalted said: He taught Adam all the names of everything. (2:31 Quran). Almighty Allah granted Adam the power to know the natures of all things and to summarize them by names; that is a bird, that is a star, that is a tree, etc Allah implanted in Adam an insatiable need for and love of knowledge and a desire to bequeath knowledge to his children. This was the reason for his creation and the secret of his glorification. After Adam had learned the names of all things, along with their properties and uses, Allah presented them to the angels and said: "Tell Me the names of these if you are truthful." (2:31 Quran) the angels admitted their inability: "Glory be to You, we have knowledge except what You have taught us. Verily it is You the All Knower, the All Wise." ( 2:32) Allah Almighty then turned to Adam: "O Adam! Inform them of their names, " and when he had informed them of their names, He(Allah) said: "Did I not tell you that I know the unseen in the heavens and the earth, and I know what you reveal and what you have been hiding?" (2:33 Quran).

What is the evidence for the first premise of the cosmological argument?
If you mean the Kalam cosmological argument used by William Lane Craig in which the first premise is "Everything that has a beginning of its existence has a cause of its existence." The answer is that there is no evidence for this claim. In fact there is evidence to the contrary.
In quantum mechanics, things happen that are not caused. Such as radioactive decay or when an atom in an excited energy level it loses a photon. No cause is evident in the decay of a radioactive nucleus. Craig has said that quantum events are still "caused" just in a non-predetermined manner - what he calls "probabilistic causality." Craig is thereby admitting that the "cause" in his first premise could be an accidental one, something spontaneous and not predetermined. he therefore destroys his own case for a predetermined creation. Even if the KCA was sound, why would the cause itself not be natural?
How many versions of creationism are there?
Many Christians and Jews have at least somewhat different interpretations of Genesis. Then there are hundreds of other world religions that have different versions plus probably hundreds of thousands of versions that no one believes anymore, including ancient Roman and Greek creation stories and traditions from many, many cultures that lived earlier and before history was even written.

What is the purpose of existing?
The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy can merit reward in the afterlife.
Where did Egypt got its name from?
I am trying to find out where Egypt got its name from, is there someone who can help me with this question?
Answer: According to records that were uncovered in the valley of the kings in the mid 1800's it was named after a woman called Egypt. She was the first to settle the land after the floods, and was the daughter of Ham, Noahs son. Her oldest son was named Pharaoh and was the first king, and all subsequent kings carried his name.
Not many people accept this because the translation of those documents were disputed among the Egyptian "scholars" of that time, which were few and un-experienced. Those papyrus were lost in the great Chicago fire, October 10, 1871. Since they never received official scientific approval and that record doesn't exist, it is dismissed today.

How many types of Creationists are there?
Creationists can be styled as "Young Earth" Creationists and "Old Earth Creationists".
Young Earth Creationists believe that the world is literally only about 6,000 years old, based on a literal reading of the biblical Book of Genesis. They believe that species have not evolved, but were created much as we know them today.
Old Earth Creationists accept the scientific evidence that the world is immensely old, but say that evolution, if it occurred at all, was guided by "Intelligent Design".
Another way of categorising some Creationists is as either Cosmic Creationists, who see intelligent design because the laws of the universe are exactly what suits the evolution of human life, or Biological Creationists, who say that the universe is so uncongenial to life that life could not have evolved naturally.

Should your faith play a big role in your relationship?
As long as your faith includes treating your partner with respect and kindness; no, faith needn't have a big role in a relationship. If you really respect your partner, you will be able to accept that he or she believes differently than you do. Is she or he not wise enough to understand that your faith is the only one worth adhering to? If your answer is yes, you might need to mature a bit more before you're ready to commit to a relationship.

What is one drawback of using idea models?
Idea means your intention or what you intend to do. If there are any drawbacks at all, then it is only in the fact that models are guides to what we intend to do or have happen, but later are modified. A model can be an exact replica of what we intend to do, or can be a guide only, to be altered as we see fit.

Why do people support creationism when there is no factual basis for the claims made?
Some would say that people support creationism because of their faith. Their religion teaches the divine origin of man, and they believe it. That seems to be the crux of the argument by the creationists for creationism. "God did it. I believe it. Case closed."
Some creationists decry the work of scientists who have built and continue to build more and more links in the chain of evolutionary development. There is so much evidence for the theory of evolution. What is there for the creationist to hold up in the light of reason? It can get dicey.
Certainly there is a huge supply of scientific evidence for evolution. Science supports evolution far and away more strongly than it does creation. There is absolutely no scientific evidence for creation. None. Certainly science can't prove that God did not create man. But no one can prove by any testable means that He did. Arguments against evolution do not hold water scientifically. The earth is a very, very old ball of rock, and time can do things to the earth and life on it that are almost beyond the comprehension of men. Creation science is an oxymoron, and is almost a joke to the vast majority of the scientific community. But what of Creationism?
Three major laws of science, with no known exceptions provide evidence which supports creationism and presents major difficulties for evolution. These are the Law of Biogenesis and the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. Much evidence also points towards the earth and universe being young and not old as is claimed. Further to this, modern chemistry, specifically biochemistry as well as genetics is firmly against evolution.
Thus although faith is not something to fear, the facts of 'the world that is' strongly point towards creation and not evolution as being the best explanation to account for the evidence, although many reject it on philosophical grounds.
Answer
The answer to the question that was asked is this: A person who believes in creationism probably does so by faith.
And isn't that what religion is all about? Faith?
Answer
It should also be noted that certain arguments exist attempting to divorce evolution from science. Examples include the belief that evolution violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which defines entropy) and the Law of Biogenesis (modern organisms come from other organisms). These arguments are based in a fundamental misunderstanding of the applied laws. For example, entropy is commonly thought of as a measure of disorder in a system. Some creationists would argue that life itself defies entropy by being ordered. This, however, fails to acknowledge that a human concept of disorder is not the meaning of entropy, and that energy can be used to temporarily stay the effects of entropy (an action which in itself increases the entropy of the universe). This argument is further debunked by the known machinations of a living nerve cell, which maintains a concentration gradient at the expense of energy.
These misunderstandings, while little in and of themselves, may be used to steel the beliefs of whose whose faith already endorses a creationist philosophy.
AnswerIf you must completely remover faith from your analysis, then you must at least look at the Bible in this way: If Creation as depicted in the Bible occurred, then so did the events after it. I use the Flood of Noah as an example. Without having to enter faith into the equation, there is vast and substantial evidence of the flood. The fossil record shows us that either: 1. The Flood occurred, producing fossils, or 2. Evolution occurred, producing fossils.
If we accept #2, we must also accept that a "fossil" has to be millions of years old. If this is true, then why have man-made items been discovered in strata that are supposedly millions of years old? Also, the fossils that evolution states are millions of years old show that animals and plants have not changed in the slightest over these presumptive millions of years. Fossils depict the same animals and plants that are around today.
If we accept #1, we can attribute the formation of fossils (which by definition must be formed by rapid envelopment in sediment/tar/minerals/etc.) to a massive, worldwide flood. We can also explain why sea shells are found on the highest peaks in every mountain range in the world.
So from just analyzing the two cases, we can conclude the stronger case. If we conclude #2 is stronger, then we can also conclude the rest of the historical account contained within its source is correct, even without faith.
Answer 1
No one created Allah. Allah is the Creator Himself! He has no beginning nor end. Allah created the very first man on Earth 'Adam' and He is to create the last one as well. The concept of God although changes over the years as monothiestic religious cultures tend to change and replace new ones over the years. Thereby meaning the very first man worshiped Allah the one and only Creator of Heavens and Earth similarly believers worship today.
Answer 2
According to Islamic Theology, God (in Arabic Allah) has no beginning nor end and this assumed from Q: 112:3 (He does not beget nor is begotten.) and Q: 2:255 (Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence...) As a result, the question "Who created God" is a nonsensical question. Something which is infinite by definition has no creation or initial point in time.
According to Secular Sociology, Allah was a Pre-Islamic concept derived possibily from the combination of the words "Al" meaning "The" and "Illah" meaning "Deity" or from Elohim translated into Arabic as Allahuma and then truncated over time. Polytheistic Arabs had a place for Allah as the Supreme God (much the same way that Ancient Greeks had a place for Zeus as a Supreme God). Islam just took the step of removing the rest of the pantheon and dedicating worship and belief in Allah alone. So, the creation of Allah as concept is about 2000 years old.
