THE MIRACLES CONTINUE ... (SECTION 2) The age of the universe is three times the age of our Earth. Quran 50:38. We assuredly created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and nothing of fatigue touched us. Quran 41.9 Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who...

If I look through a list of books of the Bible, I generally know what's in them: I know which ones consist of old myths really heavy on the supernatural stuff... which ones have lists of laws... which ones depict mostly-plausible Bronze Age war stories through one particular tribe's filter with...

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/can-you-tell-the-difference-between-the-bible-and-the-quran-a6764751.html Much too easy. I got 7 out of seven. :(

We live in very interesting times where we are able to sit back and watch while so many scientific facts which were mentioned in the Quran (over 1400 years ago) are finally coming into the light. Another interesting realm where the Quran manages to provide insight are the prophecies and...

If the statement "Nothing comes from Nothing" is True? And the statement "Something comes from Something" is also True? Then the question remains, if the two above statements are in fact "True" can the statement "Something comes from Nothing" Also be True? *And if you believe this to be so, can...

*Disclaimer, I would advise people NOT to read this post if you are under the age of 13, home alone/live alone, or live in a rural or sparsely populated areas without relatives or neighbors near by, or if you are the type of person who is easily scared to the point where you hear, read, or watch...

when the quran says, at sura 21.33 and 36.40 and 36.38 that the sun has an orbit, Imams claim this is a great revelation, because Muhammad knew the sun had an orbit in the galaxy. But the quran is actually saying the sun orbits the flat earth and is reset every dawn , and I can prove it with the...

Infamouns for his debate with PZ Myers, muslim apologist Hamza Tzortzis also brands himself in muslim circle as a defender of the alleged "inimitable character of the Quran", that is the tenet that no human could even write a single surah with a style superior or comparable to the Quran. To...

Quran Surah 2 Quran is filled with tons of contradictions and hate. Take this one for example http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/2/int_list.html Use this source for objective verification http://www.project-reason.org/scripture_project/The_Quran:2_The_Cow What do you think ?

One of the appeals of Islam would seem to be that it is (and particularly was during its initial spread) a fairly simple, straight forward faith, one free of a lot of conundrums, such as how God can be three people and one at the same time or how he can be at once a God ruling the universe and...

What's written below is taken from another thread. I thought that if apologists for the Bible answered the post on that thread, it would be off topic; hence this new thread: There are a number of tests to which we might subject an alleged holy book to find out if it is genuinely inspired: 1)...

Before many of the posts were moved from Ask A Muslim Anything to Abandon All Hope, Bill Thompson was arguing about the evils of Islam (he never actually used the word "evil", but that's the general impression), so I thought I'd open up a thread specifically for people to voice their opinions on...

I realize this has probably been discussed before, and it makes almost no sense to include the words "scientific" and "Quran" in the same sentence, but I am currently involved in what can loosely be described as a "debate" with some Muslims. They claim the Quran is "scientific" and has a lot of...

Alfred Kröner was one of the scientists who were interviewed in the UAE during the 70's and 80's about the apparent scientific accuracy of the Quran. His comments were then edited, taken out of context, and used as an argument from authority that the Quran could only have come from Allah...

By the time Muhammad wrote or dictated the surahs of the Qur'an, supposedly under the dictation of the Archangel Jabril (Gabriel), he had a wealth of myth, pagan, Zoroastrian, Jewish and Christian, upon which to draw. Thus, almost all of the narratives in the Qur'an are derivative and mythical...

a friend of mine. a really nice guy, countered to my Atheism that all those Scientific Facts i talk about are actually described in the Koran. So i took a look at it, and indeed with extremly much interpretation and ignoring other nonsence in the book, one can indeed belive they talk about the...

OK, so like many others here, I've been trying to read the Bible, and, uh, well:boggled:... Yeah. That sums it up nicely:covereyes. Anyway, after spending way too much time at both Bible Gateway and The Brick Testament, I've decided that maybe the Qur'an might be a better bet. 'Cause...

I've often come across the claim the Quran contains many scientific statements that somehow prove that the supposed writer really was somehow Allah inspired, and as such have recently come across the attached. I've had little time to review the contents, but would appreciate anyone’s comments...

Ok well I decided one day to get myself a copy of the Koran (because I didn't have one) and read it (a translated one). Now, I only just remembered to ask this, but when I read the section on inheritance (from around surah 4:11) I found that it made very little sense to me. The section is...

This man's movie Fitna should be coming out soon and riots already have begun, I think he's brave to be speaking out. Why don't we have this kind of "right-winger" here in America? This guy makes sense rather than the "we'll bring them freedom" B.S. we are fed here. I can't wait to watch his...

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/JA15Ak03.html Apparently some copies of different versions of the Koran that were thought to have been lost in a WWII bombing in Germany survived and are now being studied to identify changes in the document over time. Not sure why it took 60 years or...

http://home.att.net/~a.f.aly/creation.htm The above is without sources, but using the old copy of the Quran resting on my knee as I type, take a look. 'The earth rotates around its axis [27:88], rotates around the sun [7:54]' Ok, let's see. [27:88]When you look at the mountains, you think...

I was told a story at work today by a mad religious Armenian (nice guy really). He told me a story passed down through his family for quite a few generations. I had never heard it before and I would like to know the gist of it. Searched for a tag on this but found nothing, other than a funny...

The Koran Unveiled This is an excellent critique of the Quran. The short list of Questions and Answers below show the topics that are fully covered in this article. It is not a short piece but it is well worth the time it takes to read it. Lots of direct quotes from the Quran to back up the...

From Edip Yüksel's Manifesto: “O people, a proof has come to you from your Lord, and We have sent down to you a guiding light.” (4:174) “… and do not make corruption on the Earth after it has been reformed… ” (7:85) “It is one of the great ones. A warning to humanity. For any among you who...

My Dear Fellowmen, All Muslims are expected to believe the main doctrines of Islam consisting of five articles of faith. These are: God. His name is Allah and is the supreme being of all. He is uncreated, without beginning or end. He created all. Angels. Every person has two angels; one...

But will it float?

When the Protestants gained power, mainly in Northern Europe, they destroyed the icons and images of biblical events, that the Catholic church is so fond of - it was actually a war going on. E.g., all chalk paintings in Denmark was covered with white chalk (today, it costs us quite a lot of...

The religion of tolerance has no tolerance for the other religion of tolerance. If Newsweek reports this story, are they responsible for the violence that ensues?
