Well, the ancient Alchemists of old made amazing discoveries, which were eventually forgotten, and re-discovered by todays scientists. *shrugs* your message does nothing to sway me friend, maybe you could have spent the time you took to write this to realize that people wont instantly convert because of your "proof". i guess i cannot blame you for trying, most people who try to convert people are concerned for the other person, and therefor try to help them.

because I couldn't find a translation that truely applies to the arabic words,by 100%, or even close
which is very important here to reveal the right meaning
In 1500 years no one has made a correct translation?

The words which prove that the Quran predicted a scientific discovery can only be properly translated *after* the discovery in question?

That sounds just like a prophecy that is said to be specific, but can't tell you anything about an event until after the event when the prophecy is reinterpreted to make it fit the facts.

You understand it in Arabic. yo obviously speak English. Translate it.

wether u convert or not, it's ur concern, and not mine
I am doing this because I think it's my duty to show Islam to other people, the way it is
and Allah will ask me about that
because I am blessed by being born as a muslim,
unlike most people who were born in societies having Islam Phobia
and were negatively programmed about it since they were born

I do agree that Islam needs a PR campaign but science is not the way to go about this my friend.

You understand it in Arabic. yo obviously speak English. Translate it.
I want u to know that the arabic we talk in our daily life, is something completely different from the arabic teached in arabic schools

and in (arabic - arabic) dictioneries, the word usually have more than one meaning , and can be understood from many different aspects

and when we talk about a trusted version of translation of the holy quran , we never mean it's something unchanged,
the only text wich will never be changed , is the arabic one
because those are the true words of allah

may be before discovering a certain scientific fact, the arabic word was understood by the translators in a certain way
and the scientific fact came to reveal another meaning , which was absent
and as long as the arabic word can apply to the meaning ,
then there is nothing wrong with that

that doesn't mean bending the translation to fit the facts

Dr. zaghloul el nagar has a very long article about, those 2 verses, in his arabic website
and actually before mentioning the scientific fact itself
he took a very long time to explain the meanings of the arabic words of the verses, as mentioned in arabic dictioneries
and this very long explanation to those who r supposed to be arabs, and arabic is their first language

so how do u expect me to explain that to you

actually it is not my job to translate the Quranic verses
and I am too far from that

I reckon I get yer meanin there. Ain't nothing like vernacular I says.. yes-sir-re.

So you don't personally understand what the Quran says? Then how can you argue it's right?

Quote:

So your defense is that the Quran is not clearly written nor well understood by muslim scholars?

If you know what it says, type out the verse. If you don't know what the verse says, how can you possibly be referring to it as proof of anything?

This is what u think

but actually science was the reason of many converts

and about the red rose,
what would have forced Muhammed to tell such a word anyway "rose"

wether red , or any other colour as u say

he didn't have to do such a thing

and he didn't have to tell about the ebryological stages,too

why would he tell something like that when he is not sure about it

I think I was clear in what I have said
and it didn't mean that I don't understand the Quran

but what I am saying , is that the arabic language is a very rich language ( unlike any other)

and a one sentence may have one meaning, and another deeper one

and I admit that the whole true meanings of the holy quran can never be revealed to us all at once

because Prophet Muhammed _peace be upon him_ has said that it is a book whose miracles never stop

which means that as time pass, we learn more from and about the Quran

because as I have said before
Muhammed is the last prophet to be sent by god
and his messege is universal (in place and time )

so his miracle, which proves his prophecy, must be (universal in place and time) jusl like his messege

and not restricted to certain people

Then you do understand the Quran, and you can speak English. Great. Tell us what the passage you have in mind means.

Quote:

How very condecending a position.

Quote:

Sometimes that's called "sybmolism", sometimes "metaphor", sometimes "double entendre". There's lots of it in other languages.

But you just told me that you do understand the Quran, and so you must understand whatever passage you have in mind. Explain it to me.

Quote:

So you *don't* understand the passage in question? Then how can you assert that it is scientifically accurate when you don't know what it means?

Either you know that a passage reveals science, in which case you must know what the passage in question says, or you don't know what a passage in question says and so you cannot claim that it reveals science. Which is it?

And when you post sites like the ones you have posted and many examples of them are proven wrong you tend to lose most people you were trying to convert. If you know the field you are talking about then by all means argue the point in terms of science... But its too "iffy" to use someone elses research when you are trying to convert.

he didn't have to do such a thing
He also didn't have to say "red"... When someone says god told them the explosion is like a red rose, if the red part isn't right the whole statement is wrong... So either he meant "red rose" or the passage isn't to be taken literally =)

Also, just because the Cat's Eye Nebula looks like a rose does not mean all of them do...
