Very Long Life Span Of Noah AS
Also 1000 in base 60 is 216000 in base 10 and 950 in base 60 is 3900 in base 10. It does not reduce the age.
The different one makes no sense. If anything it makes it a greater miracle. Living 1/4 of a million years is a lot more than 1000
I do not know, but read Quran over and over and Allah do answer everything that is important to strengthen a person’s faith until a person’s all questions are answered..not litterally, but in faith from heart as a true believer. The person at that point does not has any questions related to faith, but his only effort is to better understand what Allah wants from him to make Allah happy; otherwise every single word in Quran is a complicated question and a faith shaker. I found every single word in Quran as hiding a mountain of knowledge. Why Allah said Noah lived 1000 years less 50. Why not 950 year. Perhaps there is a very big secret behind it. Just like the code at the beginning of most Surahs.
In the name of Allah, the originator, the ultimate creator. There are certain principles that should be cleared. The question “can a God create a rock that he himself cannot lift”? It looks like a great question at first instance but, later, we realize it is a fallacy. The question “can’t a God do what ever he wants”? At first it seems like a great question because HE definitely can, but on a deeper look, there is a principle that God implements on its creation. He has a plan and certain physical laws and processes in place which are, actually, signs for us to study. The signs have to be consistent and firm so that they can be discovered or understood over millenia of human growth. Giant humans are a myth, not supported by any credible evidence. Long lives are also not supported by evidence of unearthed humans. So there was no race of long living humans ever. The average life was shorter than now because of 1. Infections 2. Hunger 3. Wars. As far as a miracle is concerned, prophet Noah’s life span could have been a miracle. Does Allah point out at the “miracles” of all of HIS prophets in the Qur’ān? Directly or indirectly! A point to ponder. Lives of individual species is just normal. There is nothing special about them. There are trees that are hundreds of years old. That is their nature. Stay blessed, always.
Also Allah seems to create miracles that comply with the physical laws he created for this universe and all mirscles should be explainable within those laws as our knowledge grows. But now scientists have discovered Quatum physics that does not follow the normal physical laws of this universe. Everything is possible.
By the way Yaseen sahib, I found the answer to the question that if Allah can do everything can he create a rock big enough that he can’t lift. The answer is hidden in the question. It is a trick question. The person asking the question, sets the premise or rule that we must accept and not break and it is that Allah can do everything. Then the person tricks us and asks to break his own rule and prove Allah can’t lift the rock. So question is designed to be impossible to answer. The best answer is that Allah can do both. He can create and lift.
Thank you for sharing. It must also be noted that Dr. Sanford holds a Ph.D. in genetics and was previously an atheist.
