[SuperKilla786]

Rather than reading the book itself he claims that Google is a great way to find research on religion which is a controversial subject that most websites are going to have biases and false leads to prove a points.

[SuperKilla786]

The verse (23:14) “then clothed the bone with flesh” does not necessarily pertain that bone came first but that flash covers the bone.  The fact that they develop at the same time is true, the book is trying to explain one of the roles of flash has on the human body is that it covers bones. That verse is open for interpretation but obviously the narrator has a bias towards the topic so he’s going to interpreted in a way to challenge the intelligence of the Quran….

[Nahla1122]

the quran was written by ONE person, and has been burned and recollected from the people who CLAIMED they memorized it. so, what makes it irrefutable?

@Mojoaglo give me one verse in the quran that says the earth is orbiting the sun. Just one.

@Mojoaglo

And strangely, classical exegetes didn't understand, from the Quran, the modern scientific concepts you mention.

Maybe you should stop confusing shoehorning with prediction/anticipation.

[Mojoaglo]

the main point is that the quran came from god. No one in arabia or at the time of prophet Muhammad PBUH knew or had any knowledge regarding the moon, earth orbiting the sun, earth having an ostrich egg-like shape, embryology, etc. This faggot doesnt understand these verses because he doesnt know arabic. you need to know arabic in order to understand the verses clearly.
