Islam: Refuting an argument from a "scientist"

Reviewing the logic of someone who claims to have a background in science and his justification for believing that Islam is actually the true religion. Is he educated and is feeding us lies, or does he not know better and is lying about his education? One or the other, his video was full of nonsense.

Here is a list of videos I sourced:

Can't argue with these religionists. They do not operate on reason. Just turn your head and walk away from them, don't waste your time on them. They can not be helped. Like this Koran guy, they clearly have no idea what they are talking about.

@lunhil12 yea, i wish i could. i just can't stand it when people assert things that aren't true and they should know better.

@TheEarthAbides and i hope this ends now! im not really a religion guy but i do believe in God and i think you might have read the spoils of war or a passage from it i dont know where your getting the punishable by death bit but its states in the quran that there is NO compulsion to religion. and if you want to have a discussion just come on some webchat itl be easier and i might be able to shed some light or vice versa.

you cant judge islam by knowing 10 or even 100 muslims they are way to many sects and beliefs and practices,some based on islam yet are more to do with culture. Read the entire book to know Islam. Reading a passage from the quran isnt good enough either, you got to read an entire chapter and sometimes a collection of chapters to find an asnwer. all religions basically tell you more or less the same thing so i agree with you there.and most of them are mentioned in the quran, Its a fun book readit

@zaeyim i had 3 muslim friends who "explained" islam to me, i also read several passages form that book. the more you learn about it from an objective standpoint the more is sounds like any other religion out there, that being enshrined myths. Islam lacks honest criticism my guess because it is punishable by death! That might have something to do with people like this guy thinking his religion is based on logic & is scientifically accurate. it fails like all the rest. i tried to point that out.

[zaeyim]

@TheEarthAbides my belief is not what this joker talks about, and why are you even wasting your time on this guy man, id suggest you start a vlog pick up this book called Quran and practice your reasoning logic or what ever your discipline dictates, and post em.

[TheEarthAbides]

@zaeyim yo, no worries. mind you - to say "your happy believing what you want " makes it seem like i am the one with the unwarrented belief system when i am just pointing out the gaping holes in yours / the guy in the video. his video really was filled with nonsense which when looked at objectively is almost laughable. my position requires no belief, just discipline.

[zaeyim]

@TheEarthAbides man, its funny what i was watching 10 months back! haha YOUTUBE takes you places, agreed my sentence structuring or grammar isn't very meritorious but heck its just youtube not my thesis so i couldnt care less...and dude, its really all love you know... your happy believing what you want and makes sense to you ! good for you! and im sorry for saying what i said..and you have the right to have an opinion, so thats fine! i dont think its anyones job to prove anybody right or wrong!

[TheEarthAbides]

@zaeyim it's "you're no intellect, you're a joke!" not "your". also an Ellipsis has three dots, not four. in fact there is even a shortcut for an Ellipsis: "…" it's alt + colon on the keyboard. I'm 6 feet tall and all information is secondary. The clips were biased because they came from a biased source.

Scientific method tells you to be prepared to be wrong. If someone has a argument that proves you wrong or if there's other evidence, then you are expected to accept that in a certain way. - I have not yet met a religious person who listened to arguments I had deeply enough to come up with an answer other then "it says so in the book" be that christian (or versions of it, e.g. Witnesses of Jehova) or muslim. I didn't get to discuss with a jew yet...
