Islam, Embryology and Hamza Tzortzis

After 5 attempts I managed to shorten my critique of Hamza Tzortzis' video about what he considers to be embryology as described in the Koran to the accepted length.
I kept the claims on textual criticism, the fact that he only looks at terms and not processes and the solution that the Koran is vague - but correct. Except when compared to real embryology, which is when Koranic descriptions turn out to be totally wrong. I show how his challenges are futile and stupid at best and how his lies catch up with him.

So basically there is no REAL word of God out there, ALL religious books from all religions are written/made up by humans?

[StopSpamming1]

@afgnaz

Is this a question or a statement?

If question: of course, yes.

@penkallli

You still alive? I thought you blew yourself up in Nigeria.

[Thirst4Facts]

@penkallli Yeah well it looks like either "Allah" doesn't really like Muslims as they are pretty much the most backwards culture on earth, or "Allah" like all the rest of the gods before it, is just horseshit (or in the case of desert cults, "camel shit").

Muslims were every bit as brutal when they had a decent military power. You think over the course of Islamic history, innocent people were not slaughtered? Your "prophet" did his fair share of "collateral damage" in his day.

@ritchloui

haha

Not all of the prophets life is an example in religion, dum dum

He dressed like an arab, is it from Islam to do the same or its just a tradition of his people ?

The marriage to Aisha is the same, the jurists deduce that marriage is allowed from puberty, because ur too heavy u didnt know this !

Marriage between 9 and 4 was just 1 example out of many, ur going to call all of the peoples before 20th cent, child molesters and pedophiles, Good luck with that !

[penkallli]

@Thirst4Facts

Its allowed in ur laws to kill civilians under collateral damage, Im not interested in personal opinions !

The concept of Islam is Gods rule not muslims first !

[ritchloui]

@penkallli You are clearly clutching at straws. A 9 year old girl being married to a 4 year old boy is laughable but not PERVERSE. Mohammed was supposed to be an example for all men for all time. You can't get away from it, he basically provided all the legitimacy any child molester could want. You see why religion is the enemy of reason and progress? In rational societies dirty old men have had their sicko perversity made ILLEGAL, it is only Islamic countries and the Vatican that defend them.

[Thirst4Facts]

@penkallli I don't kill anyone, nor do I advocate the killing of anyone, now can you say the same? Secular law is only a term based on the logical application of rules that encapsulate all people no matter what religion, race or nationality. The very concept of Islam is Muslims first, everyone else second. Which is weird since Islamic theocracies are generally behind on every aspect of modern life.
