The Earth is NOT Moving!! - Bible/Koran Geocentrism

Peace AntiPharisee

Actually the heliocentric model is just as wrong as the geocentric model. Science of today has modified both of these you'll need to modify your text on your rebuttal pro forma, it seems your source has not been updated for about 40 years.

Current models work off the galactocentric model but even this is acknowledged as an assumption.

About your reasoning ... yes it is true ... one needs truth before one may be able to discern truth. The Qur'an does not claim to reveal truth to people. Rather it claims to Guide those who already fear God. In fact these are the first words after the Opening Chapter.

It is a Book that requires us to believe with 'faith' in it, but it does not oblige us to lift it out and apply it to the world in the frame of reference of our choosing. Rather we are constrained because we must search and find and what we find must lead us back to scripture so we can be guided. It is not intended to be a means to gain "power" over the world. This is not the purpose of scripture.

There is a similarity between you and those atheists who falsify scripture just like there is a similarity between Christians and Jews. You and atheists both say that scripture says geocentric whereas science says otherwise ... Also, Christians and Jews both say that Jesus claimed to be God, whereas Muslims say that he was taken out of context and never made such claims. Just as Jews reject the authenticity upon the alleged claim the Christians accept the false understanding likewise just as atheists reject the authenticity of scripture upon the alleged claims you accept the false understanding.

There is a correct understanding and that is what satisfies the reason whilst doing so without betraying the scripture. This is the condition we need to seek not the one that is intentionally at loggerheads with science and reason. Faith does not infer anti-reason rather it infers meta-reason. Just because it is a belief system it does not have to betray science. Rather the Qur'an tells us to look to creation and seek for the signs of God.
