Re: Purpose of Sending Prophets
And these same intellects conveniently choose to ignore the scientific facts in the Quran. Either that illiterate man living in a cave in the age of jahalat was some closet Einstein some antaryami or just really lucky that all his statements about the creation of the universe, the light of the moon, the shape of the earth, the embryo, the rotation of the sun and whatnot turned out to be amazingly accurate. Let’s also ignore many of the predictions that have come true e.g. the preservation of Pharaoh’s body.
Dr. Maurice Bucaille, a French surgeon, was a part of the team working on the mummy. Upon finding out that the Quran talks about the drowning of Pharaoh and the discovery and preservation of his dead body, he spent years learning arabic and examining every verse of the Quran. He ended up publishing a book called “The Bible, the Quran and Science” in which he stated that the Bible is inconsistent, the Quran is not. That there are “numerous disagreements” in the Bible but the Quran contains no statements contradicting established scientific facts. He wrote all that while he was still a Catholic. In fact, there is no confirmation that he ever converted to Islam. His research was thorough and unbiased. The book stated that there are monumental errors of science in the Bible but not a single one in the Quran.
Now… to err is human. If the book is indeed man-made, where is the error? We have debated the inconsistencies in religion up to now… how about we debate the consistencies in Quran for a change? How do you explain the agreement of the Quran with established scientific facts and the true prophecies?
You mention Greek/Roman stories of Gods… well according to the same Greek accounts, both men and women can produce semen. There is the scientific error I need to know that the millions of Greek gods and goddesses are false. That particular statement is also made in the Bible so again there is the error (one of many) I need to know that the Bible is corrupted by man. If the Quran was also written by a person(s), and if they were also plagiarising ancient literature, how come they only plagiarised what was accurate (not proven to be accurate at the time)? Unlike the Bible which also plagiarised what was incorrect such as the claim that humans are created like curdled cheese? So why does the Quran go into detail about different stages of embryonic development instead of saying yup curdled cheese it is!
