Quran 55:37 What God Almighty is Saying here is that when Galaxies explode, they form a rose-shaped explosions. Which is what will happen on the day of judgment. The Qur'an, 41:12 For example, the ozone layer as you may know protects us from the sun rays by catalyzing reactions. (Carolyn Sheets, Robert Gardner, Samuel F. Howe; General Science, Allyn and Bacon Inc. Newton, Massachusetts, 1985, s. 319-322) God said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, from praying at the Kaaba (Holy Mosque): [Holy Quran 96:15-16] Why did the Quran describe the front of the head as being lying and sinful? Why didn't the Quran say that the person was lying and sinful? What is the relationship between the front of the head and lying and sinfulness? If we look into the skull at the front of the head, we will find the prefrontal area of the cerebrum, in the area we call the forehead. What does physiology tell us about the function of this area? A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology says about this area, "The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex.." Also the book says, "In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression..." So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior, and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. So, it is proper for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth. So, it is proper to describe the front of the head as lying and sinful when someone lies or commits a sin, as the Quran says: Scientists have only discovered these functions of the prefrontal area in the last sixty years, according to Professor Keith L. Moore. [Scientific Miracles in the Front of the Head p. 41] Mountains A book entitled "Earth" is considered a basic reference text in many universities around the world. One of the authors of this book is Frank Press. He is currently the President of the Academy of Sciences in the USA. Previously, he was the science advisor to former USA President Jimmy Carter. His book says that mountains have underlying roots [p. 435]. These roots are deeply embedded in the ground. So mountains have a shape like a peg as is seen in an example on page 220 in the same book. Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots [p. 158]. This is how the Quran described mountains. God said in the Quran: Quran 78:6-7
The Proportion of Rain One of the items of information given in the Qur'an about rain is that it is sent down to Earth in due measure. This is mentioned in Sura Zukhruf as follows; (The Qur'an, 43:11) This measured quantity in rain has again been discovered by modern research. It is estimated that in one second, approximately 16 million tons of water evaporates from the Earth. This figure amounts to 513 trillion tons of water in one year. This number is equal to the amount of rain that falls on the Earth in a year. This means that water continuously circulates in a balanced cycle, in a "measure". Life on Earth depends on this water cycle. Even if people used all the available technology in the world, they would not be able to reproduce this cycle artificially. Even a minor deviation in this equilibrium would very soon give rise to a major ecological imbalance that would bring about the end of life on Earth. Yet, this never happens, and rain keeps falling every year in exactly the same quantity just as revealed in the Qur'an. Every year, the amount of water that evaporates and that falls back to the Earth in the form of rain is "constant": 513 trillion tons. This constant amount is declared in the Qur'an by the expression "sending down water in due measure from the sky". The constancy of this quantity is very important for the continuity of the ecological balance, and therefore, life. The Seas not Mingling with One Another One of the properties of seas that has only recently been discovered is related in a verse of the Qur'an as follows: Qur'an 55:19-20 This property of the seas, that they come together yet do not mingle with one another at all, has only very recently been discovered by oceanographers. Because of the physical force called "surface tension", the waters of neighboring seas do not mix. Caused by the difference in the density of their waters, surface tension prevents them from mingling with one another, just as if a thin wall were between them. The interesting side to this is that during a period when people had no knowledge of physics, surface tension, or oceanography; this was revealed in the Qur'an. The Expansion of the Universe In the Qur'an, which was revealed 14 centuries ago at a time when the science of astronomy was still primitive, the expansion of the universe was described like this: (The Qur'an, 51:47) The word "heaven", as stated in this verse, is used in various places in the Qur'an with the meaning of space and universe. Here again, the word is used with this meaning. In other words, in the Qur'an it is revealed that the universe "expands". And this is the very conclusion that science has reached today. Until the dawn of the 20th century, the only view prevailing in the world of science was that "the universe has a constant nature and it has existed since infinite time". The research, observations, and calculations carried out by means of modern technology, however, have revealed that the universe in fact had a beginning, and that it constantly "expands". At the beginning of the 20th century, the Russian physicist Alexander Friedmann and the Belgian cosmologist Georges Lemaitre theoretically calculated that the universe is in constant motion and that it is expanding. This fact was proved also by observational data in 1929. While observing the sky with a telescope, Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer, discovered that the stars and galaxies were constantly moving away from each other. A universe where everything constantly moves away from everything else implied a constantly expanding universe. The observations carried out in the following years verified that the universe is constantly expanding. This fact was explained in the Qur'an when that was still unknown to anyone. Embryology: Here, at this point, a very significant miracle of the Qur'an is revealed. While referring to the embryo developing in the mother's womb, God uses the word "alaq" in the Qur'an: (The Qur'an, 96:1-3) The meaning of the word "alaq" in Arabic is "a thing that clings to some place". The word is literally used to describe leeches that cling to a body to suck blood.
No, I cited actual sources, and completely and totally debunked false claims.. If you would look beyond your bias and actually read the entire thread, you would have seen that. I've not called name called anyone. Just because you read a claim that someone stated I did, does not mean I did. Please at least have the respect and decency to put this entire discussion into context. Drive by posting and citing out of context statements is what I like to call lazy. Aceaday is so confused, bothered, irate and irrational at this point that he cannot even get his thoughts down in one concise and single post. Instead he has to reply to himself multiple times.
I'm curious as to what proof can be provided that Satan didn't reveal these things to Muhammad. It's not like Satan doesn't know how things work. And also, what proof there is that no other person on the planet at the time believed those things. Muhammad lived in the middle of trading routes and spoke with a lot of people with varying educations. The Biblical proof of a prophet is 100% accuracy about things that would happen in the future. The reason for that is simple: of all the things in the world to know, only God can know the future. Which is why this whole cut and paste job about supposed "scientific" understandings that only Muhammad knew about is completely pointless. Newton came up with Calculus. Einstein came up with the theory of relativity. Are they prophets too?
Excellent point Kalvin! Satan is not the prototype creature with horns. Satan is Intelligent and he is intelligent, attractive smart and deceptive. Even angels Michael and Gabriel couldn't stand in front of him because he shone as a star when he was God's favorite angel! We know he is given God's powers and that the life of Job is a good example of how he can do wonders and terrors!
Quite sad how you elevate satan to the level of GOD almighty, i think in your bible it says confusion is from the devil, now whats more confusing than 3=1,1=3. And what i posted earlier is not the knowledge of Muhammad (pbuh), its from the Quran, Gods word. Now if you want to believe in a book with mistakes and ludicrously, you can keep deluding yourself. Leviticus 14 Very very scientific, lol! even tho blood has so much bacteria and this only worsens spread of disease. Its just Voodooo! I hear there are still cases of leprosy in india, so i think you should kill some birds and give it a try dilip. Help some people out.
I remember right after 9/11 a Muslim dude was interviewed on TV. This muslim dude was a white guy, an American that converted to Islam and who was now some kind of a leader. Anyway, whenever he was asked questions about the not so peaceful writings in the Quran, this guy was constantly attacking the Bible: "But the Bible also..." "You will also find this in the Bible...." "Just like the Bible, etc, etc". I was thinking to myself: "What's up with this guy? If someone asks me about my faith, there is no way I will constantly keep pointing to a book that is different from my book. NO. I would give references from MY book and not try to divert attention to ANOTHER book." But then again, thse are just my thoughts.
I'll tell you why, because you proteindude are a hypocrite, with nothing but double standards. For example, at one point in this thread you asked me why women have to cover their heads and not mean. Do you know how stupid that sounds coming from someone who's beloved book says 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3-10
Yes it is, Whats your point. In islam women only have to cover their hair, face is optional. Some just choose to do it.
no the covering itself is hair, not a sheet. It says that women should have long hair and men should have short hair
I dont know what bible your reading. You just made up that interpretation. 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3-10 Uncovered, NOT short. It even makes a distinction between shaven and covered. Christian nuns, the supposedly most pious women of christiandom are probably the only ones that follow this rule nowadays.
Prove to me that satan didn't compose the bible. Muhammed performed Miracles, he split the moon in half, he poured water from his fingers. Only the almighty could have given him this power.
Pot, meet kettle. Back to name calling and Old Testament references... I bet I could almost predict your response to any post here word for word.
He uses old testmanet referneces because sb1234 and proteindude said they follow that. The new testament was composed by the romans, not God. So it would only be right to reference the old testament.
No, he uses them because that is all part of the standard counter point play book in use today when arguing against Christianity. Never, ever do I see a reference to the New Testament.. Gee, I wonder why.. Well, you know why... Anyway.
