@khrizd Why Quaran, why not the bible? why not all of the thousand other religions? I don't have time to look at all of them. If I believe in Allah, and actually christian god is real, i might end up in hell for eternity. The all-good god creats people and then sends most of them to hell.. irony?... How about instead of me picking up reading, you pick up a begginers guide to critical thinking and some evolutionary psychology while your at it.

@khrizd I assure you the reson you believe those claims is that you haven't investigated them, you just take them to be true. You have to understand there is plenty of pseudo science in the world, I even was a believer of one but I slowly realised that I weren't really looking objectively at evidence or my expreience of the phenomena. Dr. Zakir Naik looks at those calims in isolation and does not investigate them - he brainwashes people - that is evil.

@MGX890 1.. i have disproven your asertions about egg, the moon and other claims, yet you re assert them, and bring new ones without furhter exploring previous ones. If you want we can consider each specific question togehter exploring it using reason and further knowledge we find, in a longer and more contextualised way. But you have not answered my Key question which I will reformulate, and I want you to concider it as thinking and compassionate bing -answer from your hear and head.

@MGX890 If you want to know more, search this video How to Deal with Atheists by Dr. Zakir Naik, copy and paste the words, and watch the video. He is the right man for you to counter with. or Ahmad Deedat video. These are people with better knowledge than me.

[khrizd]

@MGX890 Today, science tells us the universe is expanding. Mentioned in the Quran 1400 years ago, Sura Ad-dhariyat chapter 51 verse 47. And the heaven We constructed with strength, and indeed, We are [its] expander.

[khrizd]

@MGX890 Last time, people claim the Sun revolve but stationary, do not rotate on it own axis. Quran mentioned that 1400 years ago, Sura Anbiya Chapter 21 verse 33.And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres. Who could have mention this 1400 years ago?

[khrizd]

@MGX890 when we did we come to know that the earth is spherical? It was in 1597, when Sir Francis Drake was the first to prove the earth is spherical when he sailed around the earth. But the quran says 1400 years ago, surah An-naziat chapter 79 verse 30. I repeat again about the egg shape/geospherical earth. Who could have mention about that 1400 years ago? You may claim Muhammad is super intelligent.
