There is no difference between women and men brains either! We are all equal! Get that Muslims? Women are same as you!!!! They must have the same rights as men have too!!!!
All humans should be judged equally, but to say men and women are equal is not.
There are many things I, as a man, can do easily which 90% of women simply cannot. The same is probably true of things which women can do easily which I cannot.
I am not against equal rights, but I am against the double standards which forces me to do heavy lifting tasks for the same pay as a female whom cannot.
@davediddlydoo Only people from the region where islam is practiced and retards belive the bullshit. So thus they must all be stupid, or just ignorant. and THEY ARE! GF dude :)
I would disagree with your statement that "there is no difference between a Muslim and a non Muslim brain." If you look in to race since, you will see that Japanese have a far higher average IQ then lets say Scandinavians. The same way as Scandinavians have a higher average IQ then Africans or Palestinians.
@Ragatokk Thats education parents in japan often put there children in after schools and there schooling is much harder. Scandinavian countries are very rich in economy and have a good educational system. African Arabian countries are often in very poor areas and war torn this stops schooling.
@Ragatokk OH. MY. GOD. Did you really just write that? You're equating racial differences with religious differences?! You think there is a difference between Muslim brains and non-Muslim brains...? You actually think that? Please explain yourself lol
actually, the quran is the word from Allah (god) to prophet Muhammad pbuh through angel gabriel. prophet Muhammad pbuh cannot read and write. so, what he did is, he memorizes the ayat word by word when they are revealed to him. so how can he copy the other books and add into the quran when he cannot read and write.
People don't fuck with Buddhist monks. Why? Because they're not militant in ignorance. They're peaceful guys most of the time and will usually help you if you need it.
They're probably one of the few cases where religion can finally be considered more good than horrific.
fuck u i hope u die when this message is sent i hope u mama fucker go to hell im a muslim and im proud of being a muslim so i know that u israelins are just idiots who believe in fucking wrong things i dont stay that jesus is wrong but am saying that u changed somethings in the teachings of jesus and u have to believe in mohammed because god said mohammed is the last of the messengers so shut ur mouth and go fuck urself beside a muslim hater and go suicide beside him i just wanna hit u on ur fuc

some muslims try to defend their thoughts by pointing on the common things between what been stated in koran and what came out with scientists! which is wrong, koran role is not in the scientific phenomenon but koran told us to look around to see the reason of these things and we will deduce that its from God, to talk in scientific way, i will direct you to the debate nowadays to solve the issue before the nucleosynthesis because the one who came with this theory is accused that he is believer
This Muslim guy in one of his videos defended Muhmad for ordering killings of his , let say, political opponents mainly poets who recited mocking poems about the so called messanger of god ( one of these poets or rather rhymes makers was a woman who had a suckling baby) .He's not worth to converse with in any way.
So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!" ... they mean is not the only creator, but the best one? .. ha ha.. they're already trapped by themselves at starting point...fortunately I have humor and enjoy all those Islamic BS...I really laugh with joy XD ... I also hate them with passion ...anyway..WILDERS AKBAR!!!
The invention of the number zero is either india or china, and really people understood the concept, they just didn't write it until then. The chinese certainly did understand the concept, they put a blank to "note" it.
Al-Khwarizmi gave two rules of algebra, but modern litteral algebra (using symbols) was developed later by Stevin, Viète & al. Before that, the greeks, the arabs, the egyptians, etc, used words to describe the equations.
I disagree Phil about your comment "There is no difference between a muslim brain and a non-muslim brain". Although you find white muslims and non-muslims in the middle east different races have different brains according to scientist who have researched this.
@ceejaywt: Pardon, but having looked up all three author/scientists, they have in common that they have worked in the area of psychology in which race and intelligence are correlated. None of them, as far as I can determine, say anything about cultural influences like Islam wrt intelligence. Are you trying to base your disagreement on some kind of evidenced racial differences in the acceptance of Islam, on top of their theses? If so, what exactly is that, and from what sources?
@ceejaywt: OK, so he has, in one speech and no written work, as far as I can find. This is a mighty weak reed upon which to build any kind of cultural superiority belief. In fact, it is Ruston's contention that Moslems have aggressive, but weak and simple minds, and, as I said, it has not been written up or referenced by anything, just his educated(!) guess.
@ceejaywt: But CJ, you haven't yet given a definition for Race that will hold up scientifically. How can we measure that if we can't tell what race a fellow is?
@ceejaywt: No, I think you are wrong. Skin color and other external indicators are not reliable signposts indicating any sort of "racial" divisions within the human race. That may have been a semi-possible argument 400 years ago, but not today.
My dear you are Non-muslim you will not accept as ALLAH says in Qura'an To Muhammad (Peace be upon him). Qura'an and Islam is a For the human being and it cantains many mericals to Non. Even ALLAH says in Qura'an that i have showed them the mericals in the nature but they are blind. Islam is from the day Human is created. After other books like the bible. And it is Mentioned in bible that Muhammad (Peace be upon him) is messenger. All the things u see on the earth is the merical of Qura'an.
@11Sheeno if you have only read this book but have no basis in any other realm of human knowledge from philosophy, literature, science(s), meditation, metaphysic, introspection, it sure looks like that...
You ask me to be sincere but you have to be sincere yourself. google is not bringing top trusted sites, is bringing top visited sites ... Wikipedia is a very good site and has so many references that are very good, you can find there relativity of Einstein in perfect accuracy. and mathematical formulas there are accurate too . If you say Galen got it wrong ..
then you should read the quran verse yourself in arabic and check that the descriptions is actually accurate : it starts from the stage of multicell organism even before connecting to the uterus, u need a microscope for that for sure... anyway , I read it and it speaks for itself. you should know that the theory of no god is also a belief cause it's not verified as well... if your mind is stuck to it then everything that contradict it is classified subconsciously as wrong!
@zzztrrr "it starts from the stage of multicell organism..."
No. It starts with "nuftah"
"Thereafter We made him (the offspring of Adam) as a Nutfah (male and female sexual discharge and lodged it) in a safe lodging (the womb). Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (Alaqa, coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh (Mudghah), and made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh...So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!" Sura 23:13-14.
@philhellenes nutfa has been interpreted as the sperm or spermatozoon, but a more meaningful interpretation would be the zygote which divides to form a blastocyst which is implanted in the uterus.This interpretation is supported by another verse in the Qur'an which states that "a human being is created from a mixed drop." The zygote forms by the union of a mixture of the sperm and the ovum. Alaqa true translation is leech or bloodsucker which is the perfect description in form and functionality!
@zzztrrr You have been blocked. You have no answer to my points. Instead you post 3 blocks full of misinformation and/or your own misunderstanding. YOU HAVE NOT TRIED TO DO ANY RESEARCH, and your ability to reason is dormant.
"...nutfa has been interpreted as the sperm or spermatozoon, but a more meaningful interpretation would be..."
In other words, "We used to say nuftah meant sperm but that made us look wrong so we changed the interpretation to..."
@zzztrrr An early Muslim doctor, Ibn-Qayyim, remarked upon the similarity between the Qur'an and Galen's "On The Formation of The Foetus"
"The stages of development which the Qur'an and Hadith established...agreed perfectly with Galen's scientific account...There is no doubt that medieval thought appreciated this agreement between the Qur'an and Galen, for Arabic science employed the same Qur'anic terms to describe the Galenic stages" - Basim Musallam, "Sex and Society in Islam". p. 54.
@philhellenes4:53 - The first recorded zero is attributed to the Babylonians in the 3rd century BC. But then the Mayans, halfway around the world in Central America, independently invented zero in the fourth century CE.The final independent invention of zero was in India that spread to Cambodia around the end of the 7th century.From India it moved into China and then to the Islamic countries. Zero finally reached western Europe in the 12th century.
Interesting video. I'm looking to find out the truth away from over passionate muslims and over confident westerns (both are misleading) ... first i wd say that the quran is a book of signs not a book of science. I speak traditional arabic (do you?). I can investigate from the source . Now i read the verses that give signs to embryology and the description is amazing. u don't need faith anymore to believe that part! Dr Keith Moore gave confirmation back in 70/80s... tell me what's the trick here
@zzztrrr Google "Galen + stages embryology" (note that Galen came up with them LONG before Islam. Then compare Galen's "stages" to those in the Qur'an. If you're honest and intelligent you will work it out.
As for Dr Moore: he has TWO versions of the book concerned on sale. One for sale in the east (the one you will have read), and one on sale in the west where it is more accurate. Links can be found to an article about Moore's antics on the video THIS is a response to. Good luck.
@philhellenes I checked Galen on Wikipedia, there's no mention of embryology.. "Galen’s major contributions to medicine was his work on the circulatory system", 'his work was not without scientific inaccuracies", "Both of these theories of the circulation of blood were later shown to be incorrect"... I think that someone tried hard to associate embryology to him,.. let's say he did; i wdn't believe that he gave such a description by himself cause u need a microscope to see early stages...
@zzztrrr I said to Google "Galen AND stages embryology". Not JUST Galen. If you are sincere in your search you will spend an hour digging, and if you do that I'm confident you can find the stages as written by Galen. Do you not know how to dig? You think research is going to wicki?
Microscope? Completely Irrelevant. The POINT is that Galen got it WRONG, by saying bones form first (before the flesh). The Qur'an contains THE SAME MISTAKE. Read Galen's words and compare them to the Qur'an.
Are you insane?!? Thales, Galen, Hippocrates are just a few Greek philosophers/scientists. Look them up. 600 BC was when the Greeks found that the earth was a sphere - way before the quran. Greeks figured out that the earth orbits the sun. The quran doesn't say any of these things! To say muslims lead the world in science is ridiculous. Why are muslim nations today the most underachieving nations on earth?
if you read history of islam it's quiet evident that the countries under islam suffered for the last 1200 years so under islam to the point that they have not advanced in any field in any muslim country. a few muslims have in decratric countries advanced in business, and other fields once the 2nd and up generation began to pull away from mainstream islam.. history is fact. islam has distroyed the will of the people under it.
Very, very cool vid P. - thank you!...I was raised a Muslim...they place a huge amount of importance on the religion of someone...because many Muslims can't understand an intellect speculating on The Universe, without religious dogma.
I always love pulling apart the Arabic one, it's Indian, after Europe fell into the start of the dark ages only India and China really kept science and mathematics afterwards. And even had one that wanted to play on the current state of India being now about 13% Islamic but back during these times it was essentially 0%, it wasn't until Muslims traders first got to India ahead of the rest of Islam that these ideas got spread to Europe by Muslim traders, but they are still Indian.
Wow! Man you are simply brilliant! Yes! they don't bother to check their facts because they have been deluded into believing they know the word of god,which is immutable!Yes! indeed when the software[OS,drivers etc.] is corrupt even the best of hardware is totally useless.
The Allah keeping birds in flight verse is not a literal meaning. It is meant by Allahs grace has he made birds fly (in nature). There is no hands Allah is guiding them with, yet he decreed them to fly.
The myth that Arabs invented the zero is a common Muslim lie that has been deliberately spread by desperate Islamic apologetics for propaganda, and to numb their inferiority complex!
The concept of zero was invented by the ancient Indians; śūnya (शून्य) - is a sanskrit word'. The modern decimal system also originated in India, which was passed along to the west by Arabs.
All the Arabs did was translate works, just as they did with that of the Greeks!
@Serpico261 Well seeming Allah is "unseen" then it clearly is not literal. Allah is not there holding each bird in the air, it's clearly not literal but stating that Allah has caused birds to be in flight and it's asking people to witness the beauty and precision of birds in flight.
@Serpico261 My dear friend, there is no stoning in the Quran at all. So no, it's not literal. There is not one mention of stoning people inthe Quran as a punishment, stop confusing Islam with hardline "muslim" political parties.
@Serpico261 Wow, so hostile and angry, like most of your fellow folk. The penalty for leaving Islam? According to the Quran...NOTHING. Maybe you should read it, before i continue talking to you.
"Those who believe, then reject faith, then believe (again) and (again) reject faith, and go on increasing in unbelief,- Allah will not forgive them nor guide them" (4:137)
Thats funny, how can you "disbelieve" again and "believe" AGAIN after you are killed, does that make sense to you?
common, are you kidding. the penalty is death according the sharia.
...hey and i am not a angry person.i am not go crazy like horseshit when i see someone draws muhammed. What the fuck do you know if i am angry, are you spying me or what?
@Serpico261 I am sorry but you are letting the extremists run Islam. There is no Quran verse nor authentic hadith calling for death to people who just leave Islam. Why do you let the worst of Muslims have the megaphone and represent Islam?
You called me a prick, that makes you angry. I am not responding to you with insults or misrepresenting you. Saudi Arabia and Iran are hardcore Islamic republics with political agendas to control their people, in Islam there is NO compulsion in religion.
@Serpico261 I guess all i have is hope man. Maybe i put too much faith into hoping that an all loving and just God exists in this universe. We all hope sometimes, and i understand your frustration upon those that judge you and stick their nose into your life, but we're not all the same.
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it." (Albert Einstein, 1954) From Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press
As for why planets don't collide? THEY DO. That was how we got our Moon. Look at Miranda, a moon of Uranus. Or Saturn's rings. The reason that they do not collide in our solar system today is because the planets that survive today are made of the remains of previous collisions that found themselves in gravitational "sweetspots" where they are far enough away to not perturb the orbits of each other.
@hanzo77777 Einstein believe in a god, Einstein did not believe in a Personal god as almost all religions use. Einstein was a deist and his version of god is simply something that created everything not something that has to have intelligence, don't go saying things out of their context, Einstein did not believe in the type of god that most people would require to be called God, it's almost like saying Nature is god, it keeps harmony and everything came from natural sources.
@DoomsdayR3sistance just because u say so don't make it so lolz. it's amazing how familiar you are with the beliefs held of someone who's been dead for over 50 years. Personally I don't see why it matters. Belief or disbelief in God wouldn't take away any of his contributions.
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
- Albert Einstein, letter to an atheist (1954), quoted in Albert Einstein: The Human Side
"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."
Letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind, January 3, 1954
Not just because I say so, because Einstein himself SAID SO.
Einstein adamantly had to keep arguing against people who tried to tell him his religious beliefs when he only ever said the direct opposite, those who say Einstein believed in a personal god are spitting in his very face and in the face of those achievements he made.
"In developing the theory of relativity, Einstein realized that the equations led to the conclusion that the universe had a beginning."
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY THE OPPOSITE OF THE TRUTH! (And it shows your ignorance.) Einstein put an equation into relatively (1915) called "the cosmological force" PRECISELY because he did NOT think the Universe had a beginning. It took Hubble's redshifted galaxies in 1929 to convince him he was wrong.
Stop lying and pretending you know what you do NOT!
ok ok, hold on...im not here to say this is right n this is wrong but tell me if science is the explanation of everything like most non-believers of any religion think then surely they believe in evolution?
Yes. But it COULD be disproved, if we found fossilized rabbits in pre-Cambrian rock strata, or a fossilized man in the mouth of a dinosaur, or any number of thing that "shouldn't be there" according to our understanding. So far, in no dig anywhere on Earth, has a modern animal been found amongst prehistoric animals. If the theory is wrong, it SHOULD happen, yet it hasn't.
We believe the evidence, WHEREVER it leads, always ready to study new evidence and, possibly, change our minds.
"We believe the evidence" ok so the non-believers think they are the decendents of the "apes"? and have you looked at what the qu'ran or any other holy books says in the feild of science? cause to be honest theories can go either way where as facts cannot...thanks for the response.
No, we ARE apes, bone for bone, muscle for muscle, gene for gene. Yes, looked at each claim in the Qur'an, all fail with enough knowledge of the scientific beliefs of the time, same mistakes.
Theories can go "either way"? is the world flat? Does the Sun go around the Earth? No. You are wrong.
@pakaustar You're about the 100th person to say that (including most of my real-life friends. Even some kids said it when I was at school, so, I guess you're right. Still, it's not all bad. I can almost prove evolution just by walking into a room. :)
@s4u001 - Believing in the evidence - is believing in the facts. THAT IS the point. What The Quran says...is religious dogma...just because it says something, does not make it factual. DUH. It's difficult for me to believe that I'd actually have to explain that. But obviously - I do - now that's a fact!...hahahhahaah!
Einstein did NOT believe in a personal god AT ALL. In fact, he mocked such religions as "childish". Get it? Einstein thought Christianity AND Islam are "childish".
Anyone doubting me should just google "Einstein god quotes".
I think you may have a point, I will agree that there are allot of Muslims that dont know their own religion to the extent that they ought to! And the best place for your answers will be from someone who is educated to that level, lets leave out our differences and agree on common terms, we may learn something. And to those youtube users that only know how to mislead people please do your research before hand because some videos do hurt people. Thank you.
Muslims invent the number 0? You must be kidding me! Babylonian mathematics had the concept of the number 0 before the Qu'ran was even made. As a matter of fact, even before the Bible was invented.
The points made in the video are clear, lucid and coherent. Your delivery is calm, polite and reasonable.
I agree. when muslims made progress, they did so by employing a SCIENTIFIC approach, which certainly does not come from the bible or the koran, where investigation, measurement, hypothesis formation, testing and observation do not receive major (or any) attention. How many Nobel prizes in science have gone to Saudi Arabia, UAR etc etc ?
I stopped at the mention of muslims inventing zero. Because i instanly know that it was infact the Indian Hindus that invented it before. Like u said it is HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE as Greek, Arabic and Sanskrit words. Sanskrit as we know is probably the oldest. But anyways muslims claim a lot of things which mostly always are proven false. So anyways just wanted to say nice vid.
Is it called duaha, well i know they are allowed to lie like 11 times and it only counts as once as long as they are trying to spread the word of islam and convert people. But appreciate the comment.
I was going to give you a compliment and say great video. Very few atheist criticism and challenge islam. You reasoned and rational, polite. I enjoyed the video. Islam uses "science miracles" for credibility. Why are atheist so rude, hostile and disrespectful to Christians? Could it be that Jihad, martyr they will kill you thing? Terrorism does work, yet atheist are pissed at Jesus?
Yet you blocked my user name (using another's now). You are a HYPOCRITE as you whine about being blocked.
Well, I DO block people sometimes. There reason is either EXCESSIVE, OBSESSIVE commenting, obvious and knowing dishonesty (as opposed to simple and forgiveable ignorance or stupidity), spamming, pure hate, maybe the odd mindless insult if I'm in a blocking mood. But I never do it for NO reason. Now I'll block you again.
your a nusence 2 society, who needs you man, cmon dawg caaamon - you post comments that even phil wont read, who neeeeeeeeds you around, i bet you said wrote that thinking yeeeeee - i got that them muslims good, tha only person whos hurt is porberly you man, how old are you, if your 15, ignore my post - peace out my man peace out - ya bum ass pompas ass deadbeat pc boy n such - have fun posting ur best cusses i wont read them

confidence such as philhellenes is often a sign of ignorance, and what a confidence, to oppose God!
philhellenes, your science is weak i believe, what are your qualifications? where did you study? i have to question you on this, i am angry with you... i think there is something wrong with you
you seem to have supreme confidence in your position
You don't need prestigious scientific qualifications to know that the body of scientific knowledge clashes and contradicts with that which comes from religious sources.
If good evidence of any god exists, it has failed to be presented in thousands of years of human culture.
We have confidence in the scientific method because it is demonstrably the only consistently reliable method we have for gaining knowledge about our reality. Using that method, the god hypothesis is extremely weak .
It seems to me a fair assumption that if good evidence of the existence of a god were found, it would be major news across all scientific circles, and probably in mainstream media. It would likely be accompanied by mass conversions to whatever religion that god was part of.
I've read a number of logical proofs of god's existence, all of which exhibit some fallacy. Even if they didn't, a logical proof is insufficient. Evidence is required.
Additionally, I never declared no evidence exists. I just said that none has been presented that I am aware of.
Instead of dancing around the topic, why don't you point me to a peer-reviewed scientific paper that discusses the evidence of the existence of a god.
If no paper exists, but you believe the evidence does, then perhaps you should write a peer-reviewed paper instead of fussing about on youtube.
I think it's funny that some people can use 2 softwares at the same time then. My computer does it, I do it. Dualwielding is an art. :) Some just cant handle it because they don't want to.
Science and religion are two completely different things, and neither of them say that they can't coexist or work together.
If religion and science have anything in common it is a desire to replace ignorance with knowledge. The difference is in methodology. Science relies on free inquiry, understands that all knoweldge gained is provisional, and is self correcting.
Religion produces unquestionable certainties (that usually turn out to be wrong) and often demand punishments for those that question them. They cannot coexist without one suppressing the other.
Just to highlight a point that you mentioned about the Quran borrowing ideas from Great-Greek thinkers. Can you provide any authentic sources or references to support your personal claim? I will also question your attitude on the Quran and its lack of contribution to great thinkers of the past. I believe you are simply uninformed about both the importance of the Quran and of its impact to the Arabs and to the world.
The Quran was revealed in a period of twenty-three years and once Islam was established in Arabia (when Mecca was recaptured) the Arab civilisation flourished under Islam! The fascination and thirst of ideas and knowledge of Greek, Chinese, Indian, Persian and other cultures swept through Arabia and the Muslim world in a very short space of time. No other nation until then were able to translate the main influential world languages in its own language & then re-educate its very own people.
Remember the Arabs preserved Greek philosophy and science until these were rediscovered by the West emerging from the dark ages. It was the Quran (Islam) that inspired Muslims to learn and contribute to the world in medicine, science, law and education. It took one illiterate-man, one book and the idea of one absolute God to change the course of humanity.
This is true, until the religious leaders decided that all this free inquiry was too risky as it started contradicting the unquestionable words of Allah and shut that whole intellectual enterprise down.
Religious scriptures tend to be codifications of the philosophies, laws, and knowledge of the time they are written. They are then sealed off as sacrosanct and unquestionable, which ultimately leads to cultural, philosophical and intellectual stagnation among adherents.
Start with reading Plato's Republic. It was written in full several hundred years before Christianity or Islam were even a dream. Plato brings up the first arguments for a singular, all-powerful deity that is worthy of worship by humans.
The most important question (for me and other skeptics) is whether the supernatural claims made in any religious text including the Quran are true. None of what you speak of has any bearing on the answer to that question.
I am not personally informed enough to speak on the topic of contributions of the Quran as you mentioned, but the nature and extent of the influence the book has had really has nothing to do with whether the supernatural claims are true.
Is there a particular reason that almost all of your video responses to people display the same characteristic condescending approach? It puts people off watching your videos.
Algebra is invented in old Persia -3000 BC, when Islam did very not existed. In China and India they modernised it. After that, the Babylonian took it over, the Arabs conquered Egypt, with that modernised algebra from India. After that, Greece modernised it.
The only thing muslims invented was strong alcohol. They forbid that round 1600 BC (not by Mohammed, cause he was dead)
740 to 681 B.C. the book of Isaiah says the circle of the earth Isaiah 40:22 Job 26:7 says he suspends the earth over nothing. thank you for your time.
Speaking of Wiki, why not google the scientific method. Any scientific achievement by a Muslim you seek to downplay. '...any of these achievements have come directly from the pages of the Qu'ran.' It's not far-fetched to think they drew inspiration from the Qu'ran, knowledge translate's to 'norr,' 'light.' The fact you fail to mention a single Muslim scholar shows your research is biased. Have you read the Qu'ran? It's like me commenting on Evolution without reading 'Origin of Species.'
But the Earth isn't a circle, is it? It's a sphere. A circle is a 2-dimensional (or *flat*) shape. Additionally, anyone standing somewhere with a clear view of horizons about them might compare such a view to that of a circle, as the horizons appear equidistant from the observer at all directions, as the edge of a circle would when viewed from the center.
On top of that, the idea that the Earth was round was around before the bible was written, so either way it's an unremarkable claim.
Your boring man, why don't you paint your room, your pagan god didn't help you with that did they. Look at the mess pagans make, pagans are eating pork that only has a 4 hour digestive system, sick.
Will an atheist accept a response? how many scientific facts would there have to be in books before they were discovered for you to admit that there's more to life than you think?
If you're talking about the Qur'an, it really is incredibly scientific. The holy Qur'an states that the heavens are made up of seven layers, and that stars can be found in the lowest layer. Science later found out that the atmosphere has five major layers and four minor ones, and stars lie in the farthest expanses of space! Surely this cannot be a coincidence! The honorable Qur'an is flawless in its wisdom.
You've been reading the wrong Quran and looking at the wrong science.There are in fact seven layers of atmosphere and seven layers of earth. And that's exactly what the book says.
Boundaries between layers and other minor layers: tropopause, stratopause, mesopause, thermopause, magnetosphere
The Qur'an says in 41: 12 that there are lights in the "lower heaven". I have looked at several online translations and they all agree to that effect (one explicitly calls them stars). Are the "seven heavens" the atmosphere?
p.s. I am aware that I included more layers here than in my initial count, but you have included the tropopause (a boundary between two main layers) in yours. It's only fair to consider all of the boundaries as proper layers, then.
As you don't know Arabic, it's very difficult for you to make references to the Quran. So please don't, you'll only fool yourself and your Islamophobic groupies.
We have so much more interesting discoveries to make yet. The layers of earth and atmosphere are only the first you will concede.
I have all the time in the world. Next we'll look at the speed of light in The Bible, and atomic weights of elements.
I've said all of this already (with added sarcasm), but I can spell it out for you if you like:
The "solid alternative" is that the Quran wasn't talking about layers of the atmosphere at all, but imaginary layers of space, since it says that stars are within the heavens. Moot point, though, because the atmosphere simply is NOT divided into seven segments. Google "atmosphere". It's not rocket science.
Do you really believe this stuff, or are you just playing devil's advocate?
Indoctrination is child/humanity abuse.. If religion were true you wouldn't need it..

I would disagree, men and women are not equal.
All humans should be judged equally, but to say men and women are equal is not.
There are many things I, as a man, can do easily which 90% of women simply cannot. The same is probably true of things which women can do easily which I cannot.
I am not against equal rights, but I am against the double standards which forces me to do heavy lifting tasks for the same pay as a female whom cannot.
There are differences, all is not equal.

No. It starts with "nuftah"

Then We made the Nutfah into a clot (Alaqa, coagulated blood), then We made the clot into a little lump of flesh (Mudghah), and made out of that little lump of flesh bones, then We clothed the bones with flesh...So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators!"

@philhellenes nutfa has been interpreted as the sperm or spermatozoon, but a more meaningful interpretation would be the zygote which divides to form a blastocyst which is implanted in the uterus.This interpretation is supported by another verse in the Qur'an which states that "a human being is created from a mixed drop." The zygote forms by the union of a mixture of the sperm and the ovum. Alaqa true translation is leech or bloodsucker which is the perfect description in form and functionality!

@zzztrrr Google "Galen + stages embryology" (note that Galen came up with them LONG before Islam. Then compare Galen's "stages" to those in the Qur'an. If you're honest and intelligent you will work it out.
As for Dr Moore: he has TWO versions of the book concerned on sale. One for sale in the east (the one you will have read), and one on sale in the west where it is more accurate. Links can be found to an article about Moore's antics on the video THIS is a response to. Good luck.

@philhellenes I checked Galen on Wikipedia, there's no mention of embryology.. "Galen’s major contributions to medicine was his work on the circulatory system", 'his work was not without scientific inaccuracies", "Both of these theories of the circulation of blood were later shown to be incorrect"... I think that someone tried hard to associate embryology to him,.. let's say he did; i wdn't believe that he gave such a description by himself cause u need a microscope to see early stages...
zzztrrr 1 year ago
@zzztrrr I said to Google "Galen AND stages embryology". Not JUST Galen. If you are sincere in your search you will spend an hour digging, and if you do that I'm confident you can find the stages as written by Galen. Do you not know how to dig? You think research is going to wicki?
Microscope? Completely Irrelevant. The POINT is that Galen got it WRONG, by saying bones form first (before the flesh). The Qur'an contains THE SAME MISTAKE. Read Galen's words and compare them to the Qur'an.

Love your videos: BUT
The myth that Arabs invented the zero is a common Muslim lie that has been deliberately spread by desperate Islamic apologetics for propaganda, and to numb their inferiority complex!
The concept of zero was invented by the ancient Indians; śūnya (शून्य) - is a sanskrit word'. The modern decimal system also originated in India, which was passed along to the west by Arabs.
All the Arabs did was translate works, just as they did with that of the Greeks!

As for why planets don't collide? THEY DO. That was how we got our Moon. Look at Miranda, a moon of Uranus. Or Saturn's rings. The reason that they do not collide in our solar system today is because the planets that survive today are made of the remains of previous collisions that found themselves in gravitational "sweetspots" where they are far enough away to not perturb the orbits of each other.

Q&A session for non Muslims with Dr. Bilal Philips and Dr. Zakir Naik
s4u001 1 year ago
I think you may have a point, I will agree that there are allot of Muslims that dont know their own religion to the extent that they ought to! And the best place for your answers will be from someone who is educated to that level, lets leave out our differences and agree on common terms, we may learn something. And to those youtube users that only know how to mislead people please do your research before hand because some videos do hurt people. Thank you.

Muslims invent the number 0? You must be kidding me! Babylonian mathematics had the concept of the number 0 before the Qu'ran was even made. As a matter of fact, even before the Bible was invented.

The points made in the video are clear, lucid and coherent. Your delivery is calm, polite and reasonable.
I agree. when muslims made progress, they did so by employing a SCIENTIFIC approach, which certainly does not come from the bible or the koran, where investigation, measurement, hypothesis formation, testing and observation do not receive major (or any) attention. How many Nobel prizes in science have gone to Saudi Arabia, UAR etc etc ?
derek24hudson 2 years ago 2
I stopped at the mention of muslims inventing zero. Because i instanly know that it was infact the Indian Hindus that invented it before. Like u said it is HIGHLY QUESTIONABLE as Greek, Arabic and Sanskrit words. Sanskrit as we know is probably the oldest. But anyways muslims claim a lot of things which mostly always are proven false. So anyways just wanted to say nice vid.

I was going to give you a compliment and say great video. Very few atheist criticism and challenge islam. You reasoned and rational, polite. I enjoyed the video. Islam uses "science miracles" for credibility. Why are atheist so rude, hostile and disrespectful to Christians? Could it be that Jihad, martyr they will kill you thing? Terrorism does work, yet atheist are pissed at Jesus?

confidence such as philhellenes is often a sign of ignorance, and what a confidence, to oppose God!
philhellenes, your science is weak i believe, what are your qualifications? where did you study? i have to question you on this, i am angry with you... i think there is something wrong with you
you seem to have supreme confidence in your position
robtherub 2 years ago
You don't need prestigious scientific qualifications to know that the body of scientific knowledge clashes and contradicts with that which comes from religious sources.
If good evidence of any god exists, it has failed to be presented in thousands of years of human culture.
We have confidence in the scientific method because it is demonstrably the only consistently reliable method we have for gaining knowledge about our reality. Using that method, the god hypothesis is extremely weak .
Arkalius80 2 years ago
it was my five years studying physics and philosophy at Oxford University that persuaded me there is a God, not any old religious texts
if you are to be so with your questions to whoever why can you not answer the same question when it is asked of you?
How many of the proof's of existence of God have you read?
Have you researched whether evidence has not been presented? Do you just assume that if it had someone would have told you?
robtherub 2 years ago
Time wasting, lying, troll.
philhellenes 2 years ago
It seems to me a fair assumption that if good evidence of the existence of a god were found, it would be major news across all scientific circles, and probably in mainstream media. It would likely be accompanied by mass conversions to whatever religion that god was part of.
I've read a number of logical proofs of god's existence, all of which exhibit some fallacy. Even if they didn't, a logical proof is insufficient. Evidence is required.
Arkalius80 2 years ago
Additionally, I never declared no evidence exists. I just said that none has been presented that I am aware of.
Instead of dancing around the topic, why don't you point me to a peer-reviewed scientific paper that discusses the evidence of the existence of a god.
If no paper exists, but you believe the evidence does, then perhaps you should write a peer-reviewed paper instead of fussing about on youtube.

Science and religion are two completely different things, and neither of them say that they can't coexist or work together.
Sharatain 2 years ago
I'm not sure how anyone can claim that.
If religion and science have anything in common it is a desire to replace ignorance with knowledge. The difference is in methodology. Science relies on free inquiry, understands that all knoweldge gained is provisional, and is self correcting.
Religion produces unquestionable certainties (that usually turn out to be wrong) and often demand punishments for those that question them. They cannot coexist without one suppressing the other.
Arkalius80 2 years ago
To Philhellenes:
Just to highlight a point that you mentioned about the Quran borrowing ideas from Great-Greek thinkers. Can you provide any authentic sources or references to support your personal claim? I will also question your attitude on the Quran and its lack of contribution to great thinkers of the past. I believe you are simply uninformed about both the importance of the Quran and of its impact to the Arabs and to the world.
RyomaSakamoto79 2 years ago
The Quran was revealed in a period of twenty-three years and once Islam was established in Arabia (when Mecca was recaptured) the Arab civilisation flourished under Islam! The fascination and thirst of ideas and knowledge of Greek, Chinese, Indian, Persian and other cultures swept through Arabia and the Muslim world in a very short space of time. No other nation until then were able to translate the main influential world languages in its own language & then re-educate its very own people.
RyomaSakamoto79 2 years ago
Remember the Arabs preserved Greek philosophy and science until these were rediscovered by the West emerging from the dark ages. It was the Quran (Islam) that inspired Muslims to learn and contribute to the world in medicine, science, law and education. It took one illiterate-man, one book and the idea of one absolute God to change the course of humanity.
RyomaSakamoto79 2 years ago
This is true, until the religious leaders decided that all this free inquiry was too risky as it started contradicting the unquestionable words of Allah and shut that whole intellectual enterprise down.
Religious scriptures tend to be codifications of the philosophies, laws, and knowledge of the time they are written. They are then sealed off as sacrosanct and unquestionable, which ultimately leads to cultural, philosophical and intellectual stagnation among adherents.
Arkalius80 2 years ago
Start with reading Plato's Republic. It was written in full several hundred years before Christianity or Islam were even a dream. Plato brings up the first arguments for a singular, all-powerful deity that is worthy of worship by humans.
13shadowwolf 2 years ago
The most important question (for me and other skeptics) is whether the supernatural claims made in any religious text including the Quran are true. None of what you speak of has any bearing on the answer to that question.
I am not personally informed enough to speak on the topic of contributions of the Quran as you mentioned, but the nature and extent of the influence the book has had really has nothing to do with whether the supernatural claims are true.

Algebra is invented in old Persia -3000 BC, when Islam did very not existed. In China and India they modernised it. After that, the Babylonian took it over, the Arabs conquered Egypt, with that modernised algebra from India. After that, Greece modernised it.
The only thing muslims invented was strong alcohol. They forbid that round 1600 BC (not by Mohammed, cause he was dead)

Speaking of Wiki, why not google the scientific method. Any scientific achievement by a Muslim you seek to downplay. '...any of these achievements have come directly from the pages of the Qu'ran.' It's not far-fetched to think they drew inspiration from the Qu'ran, knowledge translate's to 'norr,' 'light.' The fact you fail to mention a single Muslim scholar shows your research is biased. Have you read the Qu'ran? It's like me commenting on Evolution without reading 'Origin of Species.'
purpleprinc3 2 years ago
But the Earth isn't a circle, is it? It's a sphere. A circle is a 2-dimensional (or *flat*) shape. Additionally, anyone standing somewhere with a clear view of horizons about them might compare such a view to that of a circle, as the horizons appear equidistant from the observer at all directions, as the edge of a circle would when viewed from the center.
On top of that, the idea that the Earth was round was around before the bible was written, so either way it's an unremarkable claim.

So Philhellenes
Tell me, when did scientists discover the number of layers of the Atmosphere and the Layers of the Earth?
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
Google it.
philhellenes 2 years ago
Hey, you're the expert.
Will an atheist accept a response? how many scientific facts would there have to be in books before they were discovered for you to admit that there's more to life than you think?
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
One.
philhellenes 2 years ago
Excellent.
Then look up what I asked you. Then I'll show you where to find it in old books.
Are you up to the task? Don't get me wrong, Atheists are very smart, at least they didn't get brainwashed by their communities and parents.
But if I show you accurate discoveries predicted before scientists made them, will you concede?
Then we can take our time and discuss Design versus the mathematical impossibility of randomness.
I look forward to your answer.
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
If you're talking about the Qur'an, it really is incredibly scientific. The holy Qur'an states that the heavens are made up of seven layers, and that stars can be found in the lowest layer. Science later found out that the atmosphere has five major layers and four minor ones, and stars lie in the farthest expanses of space! Surely this cannot be a coincidence! The honorable Qur'an is flawless in its wisdom.
havvyweponsman 2 years ago
You've been reading the wrong Quran and looking at the wrong science.There are in fact seven layers of atmosphere and seven layers of earth. And that's exactly what the book says.
Atmosphere: Troposphere, Tropopause, Stratosphere, Ozone Layer, Mesosphere
Ionosphere-Thermosphere, Exosphere
Earth: Crust, Upper mantle
Transition Region, Lower Mantle
D" Layer, Outer Core, Inner Core
Quran never says lowest layer. Nice Try.
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
Troposphere, Stratosphere, Mesosphere, Thermosphere, Exosphere, Ozone Layer, Ionosphere, Planetary Boundary Layer
Boundaries between layers and other minor layers: tropopause, stratopause, mesopause, thermopause, magnetosphere
The Qur'an says in 41: 12 that there are lights in the "lower heaven". I have looked at several online translations and they all agree to that effect (one explicitly calls them stars). Are the "seven heavens" the atmosphere?
Rationalize away. Good luck!
havvyweponsman 2 years ago
p.s. I am aware that I included more layers here than in my initial count, but you have included the tropopause (a boundary between two main layers) in yours. It's only fair to consider all of the boundaries as proper layers, then.
havvyweponsman 2 years ago
As you don't know Arabic, it's very difficult for you to make references to the Quran. So please don't, you'll only fool yourself and your Islamophobic groupies.
We have so much more interesting discoveries to make yet. The layers of earth and atmosphere are only the first you will concede.
I have all the time in the world. Next we'll look at the speed of light in The Bible, and atomic weights of elements.
I'm so delighted you have an open mind.
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
I haven't conceded the layers of earth and the atmosphere. The depth of my Islamophobia is such that I just can't see when I'm wrong.
I'm afraid I can't make references to the Bible either, since I don't know ancient Hebrew or Greek.
havvyweponsman 2 years ago
If you can't offer a solid alternative, then it's a concession.
nizaralshubaily 2 years ago
I've said all of this already (with added sarcasm), but I can spell it out for you if you like:
The "solid alternative" is that the Quran wasn't talking about layers of the atmosphere at all, but imaginary layers of space, since it says that stars are within the heavens. Moot point, though, because the atmosphere simply is NOT divided into seven segments. Google "atmosphere". It's not rocket science.
Do you really believe this stuff, or are you just playing devil's advocate?
