Not like you. You just make baseless
claims. Totally different.
I have yet to see a single religion that does not rely on blind faith over logic. You act like your religion's the only one accused of such.
Your point? Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, and according to the Bible, he had proof.
Some miracle.
Which is precisely what every other religion says about their own holy book. What makes yours so special?
According to the Quran, correct? If Mohammed had wanted to add to his claim of divinity, or simply just wanted people to start following his beliefs, he could easily lie in the Quran and say he was illiterate.
Holy ****ing ****, that's completely unprecedented! I mean,
books containing
facts? Surely you jest.
Similar claims have been made about the Bible.
Because it's inconceivable that someone would ever see a fetus. Also, you can say that something is "similar to" another thing without the two looking anything alike.
Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out. Pregnant women need to eat more, feel weaker, and experience all sorts of symptoms that would lead to comparisons of leeches.
And? Logic back then probably went "it's really big, it's really heavy, maybe it's used to hold it down". I don't know the context of the quote, though, so I can't say for sure.
And back then, freshwater and saltwater never met in areas where people could examine it. Ever.
One, I highly doubt they used those exact words.
Two, anyone who had ever been in a very high place - say, climbing a mountain - would realize, whoa, things change when you climb higher. You get less oxygen, lower air pressure, etc. I don't think it would take a lot of thinking to gather "well, if things happen as you go up,
more things must happen as you go up
more!"
For rather loose definitions of the word "recently".
We know the Quran is authentic because the Quran says so, and we know the Quran is true because the Quran says so, and oh my god the logic is making me dizzy.
Clearly, He didn't do a great job.
Are you kidding me? There's an example of a contradiction in the very first freaking post of this topic!
This one page lists over a hundred of them!
Well, I'd damn well hope any well-written book would be grammatically correct.
Depending on your definition of unique, the same could be said of any book, factual or fictional.
Shocker.
And?
The Bible. Or hell, any religious text.
Really. Explain to me how the Bible is not similar. It's absolutely ridiculous to claim that no one in the history of the world has ever created even a single verse that is in any way similar to the Quran. The Bible itself is loaded with similar verses.
Just because you refuse to see them, doesn't mean they're not there.
Once again, it's easy to claim it hasn't been disproven if you ignore every argument presented.
How about hundreds?
Again, explain to me how the Bible does not fit this criteria, and explain to me how not having a known copycat book proves it to be true.
Well, to be fair, you're technically right. There isn't
a contradiction, there's several.
But okay, if contradictions don't count, how about scientific and biological inaccuracies? The Quran claims that man is created from a fluid between the loins and ribs (but semen originates in the testicles); Sura 16:66 says that cow's milk comes from between the excrement and blood of the cow's abdomen (um, what?); Sura 16:69 says that honey comes out of a bee's abdomen; Sura 6:38 claims that all animals and flying beings form societies like ours; Sura 25:45-46 claims that the movement of the sun causes shadows (supporting a geocentric universe model, rather than the correct heliocentric one); and according to Sura 65:12, "It is God who hath created seven heavens and as many earths" (I'd love to know what the other six Earths are; if they mean the other planets, then they got the number wrong).
Some miracle.
Face it, you use just as much blind faith as any other religious person.
You have yet to validly prove the Quran is a miracle in itself.
I'm not going to pretend that a single, 45-minute forum post is going to disprove an entire religion, but eh.
