Quran is free of errors

you are right, the quran doesn't tell us how to discover things, it just tells us about things. it is up to us to find them and analyse them.
we aren't thanking the quran for the discoveries, we are simply acknowledging that what it has and what we have disovered are the same thing. they do not go against each other. the quran is a starting point to many things if not all

I will not argue, there are some things in the Quran which are out of the ordinary for a religious text, but that is it, no miracles. As far as I can see, it does not lie with the religion, but with the people. Aryabhatt was a Hindu, and he did a LOT of great things, but we cannot credit the religion for it, maybe the people, but it is the individual that does it.

but he has been influenced by his religion.

if his religion spoke about something in brief , then he goes to make the discovery or actually prove that very point, then he has been influenced by his religion. the religion takes all the credit, he would not have made the discovery if it wasn't mentioned in the scripture wich was the starting point of the discoverie.

how would someone prove that people eat to generate strenght from food, unless someone starved and became very weak, then when eating something he gains his energy. see the starvation was the starting point.

no muhammed was not a pedophile, he never had any sexual relations with her untill she was older.

but what i am not proud of is, non muslims being proud of this:

Grandfather sentenced in sex abuse case
Published: December 5th, 2007


NORWICH – A man convicted of molesting his granddaughter apologized to the court and his family Monday, but did not apologize to the victim or admit his guilt.

you can read it here

The Evening Sun | Grandfather sentenced in sex abuse case

and Don, we all know that this isn't the only case of the sort.
try to remember about the actions of non muslims that are being done in todays society before you take a look at the society that about 1400 years old, about which you and i have very limited knowledge.

This may be so for Muslim scientists, but i think almost any other scientist is never driven by religion, maybe philosophy, but no religion. Even then, i highly doubt Arabic mathematicians and scientists kept their work and religion seperate.

exactly see, something is always the starting point, and for muslims it is the relgion.

islam is life for us, it isn't just another part of life, so everything that we do is because of religion. the way we present our self is because of our religion, the way we talk is because of our religion, everything that we do is because of our religion, but we must also remember that not everyone can be perfect, many people do things that aren't part of religion.

a christian man said this to me a few months ago

"if we all live our religions to the full, the world would be a better place, it doesn't matter that they are not the same religion"

his point was that all religions are peacefull and are encouraging it's followers to be good people, but some do not listen, so thats why you see one religion going against another.

No, no, no. That won't do, at all.

You are trying to compare a vague, poorly worded verse from your sacred text with a concise, well researched article that is based on peer reviewed scientific data.

This is the very crux of your entire position.

You are claiming that the Koran is a scientific book, that has provided mankind with all of this information - and instead of using the Koran, you have to resort to a secular text to bolster your argument.

Why is the data that you are using not listed in the Koran?

the quran isn't a science book. it is a guide.

Well, to be fair about it, Ymir, we have to give eselam credit.

After all, he is admitting that he and Zhakir haven't been able to defend their position against the rational arguments being presented.

Yourself included - right?

This thread really needs to be shut down. It has devolved into nothing more than two zealots proseltyzing about their sacred text, and the rest of us trying to spit into the wind.

is that the best you can do to deffend your age difference to all the other younger members here?

if so then why bring it up in the first place, we all know that there is a varying age difference here in RF, so why bring that cheap argument when there is nothing more to say.
