@lazimammoth Actually you are wrong. It CAN change, for the simple reason that our understanding of reality, therefore Science, is a evolving, changing process. We might discover that in the REAL structure of space, there is a distorsion that actually cause something flat to be perceived as round.

And the formula of water (H2O) is a HUMAN abstraction, just a way to ABSTRACT the water molecule, if we discover a better way to represent water, the formula will be changed/discarded.

@mrjmcx "brothers and sisters regardless of our faiths" True, so what purpose does faith serve? Belief in religion, and belief in anything, only devides mankind, does it not? As soon as I believe, the other person believes something else.

[mrjmcx]

Don't regard religion as a social contest, or as a tool to prove who is right or wrong! We are all brothers and sisters regardless of our faiths. Live for the earth and live for peace only then will our world become a better place!

Peace be upon you all!

Second of all, dont idolize him, its haram and he is not worth it! Let him bring facts and not theories. Furthermore, as in islam all depictions of people and animals are forbidden (its in the hadits), it is forbidden for all muslims to watch this. Muslims according to the hadiths should not own a tv or a computer as these machines are often used for the depiction of people and animals. Who is working with two standards? well the answer to that is EVERYONE: Christians, Jews and Muslims too!!!

[mrjmcx]

I've seen the debate and i'm reading both the quran and the bible. I must say that this monologue of dr zakir, although very interesting, is a very simple and one minded interpretation of the texts. This guy is not stating facts! he's a theorist and for the most part he is wrong. Many passages in the quran for example state the earth as flat not as round!! (Al-Hijr15:19) and states the sun to be moving around the earth! (Al-Anbya21:33)

I would have laughed if he walked on the stage and said "Compatible or incompatible-- well, turns out they're incompatible. Goodnight!"

lol but seriously Dr Naik is great :)

@jeai2oto23oomi9 My dear, the fact that the formula of water is H20 is never gonna change, as it is an established fact. So an established fact needs not to change. The fact that Earth is spherical is never gonna change. You can not go any further when you've at the top of mount Everest i.e. if you are staying on Earth.

Also, do not forget that there are things that science can't explain. Naik said he is only gonna compare Qur'an with established facts and not with hypothesis and assumptions.

[jeai2oto23oomi9]

Quran & Modern Science-Completely incompatible. Quran depends on complete

submission & faith in Allah. Science does not care about Allah's Authority. It has NOT got to submit to Allah's Authority. Science is dynamic, evolves & changes when new truth merges. Koran is static & can't change even in a million years. Science is base only on experimental evidence, observations, & logic. Science does not care for Allah's Authority.

Truth does not demand violence and wars.surah48;16.'you shall be called upon to fight a mighty nation, unless they embrace Islam.(the desert arabs)

Now do you go around spreading 2+2=4 by wars? That's when you know you are in a hateful religion. And obviously afraid that allah will burn you over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, according to koran. The OVERS are not OVER. That's why people stay to worship allah. FEAR!!!

[Outgrowingfear]

dinosaur issue is not even strong. Proving this or that is useless, because muhadmae lied to people...but if u guys want to say he was from 'god', good. Now someone from allah will call this good judgement? Surah 4: 13. If any of your women commit a lewd act, call in four

witnesses; if they testify to their guilt confine them to their houses till death overtakes them.Surah 4: 16 .If two men among u commit a lewd act, punish them both.If they repent & mend their ways, let them be
