Let's talk about Islam

[MarsCydonia]

I am finding myself in a bit of a maze when trying to "prove" the inaccurate statements in the Quran. You often hear Muslims claim how their book contains scientific knowledge that could not have possibly be discovered in that age, ergo some superior intelligence must have dictated it.

...

Are there any of our peers dealing with this subject or Islam in particular ? I remember seeing Aron Ra having a brief exchange with that Hamza guy (...what a lunatic) but other than that, not much. Maybe I have not looked enough ?

Having been raised christian in a (at the time) mostly christian culture, I am not in any way knowledgeable about what the Quran says about scientific issues. I would assume it has similar "scientific claims" as the bible, in that if you interpret it by ignoring what it says and insert what you want, then it makes sense scientifically.

I often have to remind Christians that a circle is flat, not spherical. My 5 year old niece can figure it out, why can't they?

Right, and this information was retained long enough for Mohamud to copy it from the jews and he pretended to be a prophet. Or maybe Satan gave him this information. Who knows?

If they had some such wondrous information, couldn't they and wouldn't they have put it to book instead of holding it as oral traditions until Muhammad stumbled upon it to used it to become a false prophet? Or was Satan somehow in such a conspiracy and god let him get away with it?

It is not enough to show that Allah is the true god and we should all worship him.

Something I find christians and muslims have in common.

You will often hear how some verse that is false when read literally, when read in a poetic way it can express a truth. For example, the Quran does not say that the Earth was created before the stars..

Amazing!

At least, that's one mistake they didn't copy from Genesis.

Science has discovered how the solar system was created.

This is absolutely false. I'm sure that there are even other Atheists on this forum who know this is not true but they don't have the balls to tell you that you are wrong.

How is it absolutely false? I don't know this is not true so please educate me.

Science was the method which was used to discover how solar systems are created.
How is that "absolutely false"?

Also is there a fallacy that describes creating a part of a system (Earth) before the system (Universe) ?

No. The neck of my guitar was built before my guitar.

That's a good point!

I should have expressed myself more clearly. And it appears I have made some pretty huge mistakes by not describing my question more precisely. I get from your responses that saying that I created the Earth, and then I created the Universe is not fallacious logically even though it is still wrong ?
So my claim is false but I have not committed any fallacy ?
What about the following: Creating part of a system(B) that all the evidence shows that the said part arised after the formation of the system (A).

On a side note. Would I be correct in saying that there are only three possibilities when it comes to the creation of the Earth/Universe and the time markers involved ?
Either the Earth was created after the Universe.
Either the Universe was created after the Earth.
Either both were created simultaneously.

IF I have not screwed up again. Wouldn't it mean that by claiming that I created the Earth and the Universe, without including one of the three time markers (ex. I created the Universe, *after that* I created the Earth) I am doing something wrong?
Is this lack of information which turns the claim so vague that it no longer conveys any message enough to pin on it some fallacy or some attack at its validity ? I myself don't see how but maybe you can so I thought it was worth to ask.

Here we see the uneducated individual attempt reverse psychology poorly.

We do know how the solar system formed, what's more we're currently observing the processes around other stars. At least but some effort I to being an edgelord.

Formation and evolution of the Solar System.

Something something balls, something something admitting you're wrong, something something.

[sarcasm]It reads like thenexttodie, but it says australopithecus. I am so confused.[/sarcasm]

No you don't. Nebular Hypothesis has not been verified and there is no known method for planetary accretion to occur.

 

[Deleted member 619]

There's this thing, you may even have heard of it, called 'gravity'. Formalised in the 17th century and clarified in the early 20th.

Do try to keep up.

Can you believe I cannot find this a a gif?

Yes I have heard of gravity. I think it's really dumb that you make such a post, as if it refutes anything I said.

Repeating yourself doesn't make it true, you know.

Not massively interested in what you think, to be honest. It does refute what you said.

Absolute nonsense. The process is observed at all stages.

Well you can't sound a gif. Though I didn't find that as a motivational poster or a meme either. I suppose it just has to a video to do it justice, and I can't argue with that.

Oh now we have observed it all happening? Do you have a source for this? Because I think this would take millions of years of observation.

This has to be a fucking joke. You honestly came here to ask us to help you make your bullshit religion sound more believable?

It is not the cosmology of Quran which makes Islam so repulsive, more so it is the fact Mohammud was a lying, thieving bastard.

Is it true that he said most people are hell because they do not pee like girls?

What you think is irrelevant. The sum total knowledge of stellar formation is not dependent on your opinion. To quote you:

I am not educated enough to really understand hardly any of it.

 

[thenexttodie]

I think that when people see how your feelings led you to take a completely unrelated quote from me from a completely unrelated thread, most of them will rationalize this as evidence of your inability to think. Even your friends on this forum will secretly think this. How much marijuana do you smoke each day?

Even if that would be true (rather than a fantasy on your part), why should he care?

You care little about how you look and how you make christians look, so if you don't care, why should he?
