Copper converted to gold

In Kitab-i-Iqan or the Book of Certitude, Bahaullah claims that copper, in a span of 70 years would be converted to gold. For instance, consider the substance of copper. Were it to be protected in its own mine from becoming solidified, it would, within the space of seventy years, attain to the state of gold. There are some, however, who maintain that copper itself is gold, which by becoming solidified is in a diseased condition, and hath not therefore reached its own state. Be that as it may, the real elixir will, in one instant, cause the substance of copper to attain the state of gold, and will traverse the seventy-year stages in a single moment. Could this gold be called copper? Could it be claimed that it hath not attained the state of gold, whilst the touch-stone is at hand to assay it and distinguish it from copper? [12] Certainly interesting for Alchemists who have turned into Biochemists! Regarding Bahaullahs scientific wisdom, I can only add that such ignorant and incorrect statements, presented by Bahaullah as solid and clear facts, naturally directives. questions his credibility and mental sanity. Now lets look into some of Bahaullahs and Bahaisms universal and superior

The punishment of theft In the Kitab-i-Aqdas, Bahaullah instructs his followers to punish thieves [13]. On the first offence the thief is exiled, on the second, imprisonment is prescribed and on the third offence a mark is placed on the thiefs forehead.

This means that if a thief is caught for the first time, he is to be exiled. In the new city he continues to steal and when caught people will not know of his past, so he will be exiled to another city and will keep on stealing. Lets though assume that a thief is recognized and caught on the third offence, will the mark on his forehead now prevent him from stealing if exile and imprisonment did not? Is the mark on the thiefs forehead a license to continue his crimes? What about those caught for the fourth time? How will they be punished? The punishment for adultery Adultery and fornication according to Bahaullah is punishable by a fine paid to the Universal House of Justice, (UHJ). On page 15 of Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most Holy Book), he writes, It is a must for every adulterer and adulteress that they must pay to the Universal House of Justice and give 9 mithqals of gold. And should they repeat the act, the atonement will be doubled.[14] However if the adulterer/adulteress cannot afford it, then the poor are the trust of God in your midst[15] This means that the rich will easily commit adultery and the poor who cant afford the adultery penalty, will still very easily commit adultery as they are in the protection of God! Further, I am very curious to know why adultery and fornication have the same punishment- are both crimes considered equally destructive and injurious to the society and the individuals involved? Also what an honorable way for the men of Universal House of Justice to fill their coffers and fulfill their responsibilities! (The UHJ consists only of Bahai men since Bahai women are not allowed to participate in the law making process in their faiths supreme governing institutionNow, thats called gender equality!) Although Bahai proponents seem to preach unity, peace and equality among mankind their history, marred by violence, and their teachings, which are in fact twisted and changed Islamic laws, contradict their averred concept of world peace and gender equality.
