Islamic Scripture is from God

Thank you for accepting I would like to start with my arguments. A. Science It's often stated that the Islamic Scripture contains knowledge of modern science. However many of these verses are extremely vague or was already known at that time. The Qur'an + Hadith does contain information that is now known to be at odds with modern science. Pro does link to a debate he had where he gave arguments for scientific knowledge. I will not respond as they weren't given in this debate and I'm unsure if pro meant for me to respond or not. 1a. Horses. And (He has created) horses, mules, and donkeys, for you to ride and use for show; and He has created (other) things of which ye have no knowledge. Qur'an 16:8 The Qur'an states horses were created for us to ride, but we know that wild horses can't be ridden. We know that horses had to be domesticated in order for us to ride them. Even then modern horses that are domesticated still need training to be ridden. The raw creation wouldn't of been rideable. 2a. Layers of the Earth. MiraclesOfTheQuran.com claims the Qur'an accurately predicts the number of layers of the Earth's atmosphere. [1] M.O.Q claims it's 7 and cites this verse It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 2:29) However this isn't correct. The Earth only has 5 layers as stated by NASA and other web-sites.[2][3[4] 3a. Perfect Creation? This Islamic web-site says that these verses mean our bodies were created perfectly [5] " In numerous Verses of the Qur'an, Allah tells us that He has created everything, including human beings, in the most perfect form. In the following verse, Allah explicitly states this with regards to the human creation:" 32:7 Who perfected everything which He created and began the creation of man from clay. 27:88 And you see the mountains, thinking them rigid, while they will pass as the passing of clouds. [It is] the work of Allah , who perfected all things. Indeed, He is Acquainted with that which you do. 95:4 We have certainly created man in the best of stature; Contrary to this verse, our bodies are far from perfect. Talk.Origins states " In human males, the urethra passes right through the prostate gland, a gland very prone to infection and subsequent enlargement. This blocks the urethra and is a very common medical problem in males. Putting a collapsible tube through an organ that is very likely to expand and block flow in this tube is not good design. Any moron with half a brain (or less) could design male "plumbing" better. "[6] Wikipedia also gives examples. Here's one " Crowded teeth and poor sinus drainage, as human faces are significantly flatter than those of other primates and humans share the same tooth set. This results in a number of problems, most notably with wisdom teeth. "[7] 4a. Black Cummin Narrated Khalid bin Sad: We went out and Ghalib bin Abjar was accompanying us. He fell ill on the way and when we arrived at Medina he was still sick. Ibn Abi 'Atiq came to visit him and said to us, "Treat him with black cumin. Take five or seven seeds and crush them (mix the powder with oil) and drop the resulting mixture into both nostrils, for 'Aisha has narrated to me that she heard the Prophet saying, 'This black cumin is healing for all diseases except As-Sam.' Aisha said, 'What is As-Sam?' He said, 'Death."" - Sahih Bukhari 7:71:591 Muhammad said black cummin can heal all diseases. Can it cure Cancer, AIDS, bird flu and so many other diseases too? Black Cummin has been shown to have some medicinal properties (as with other herbs), however it only helps. It's far from the cure or healing of all diseases. B. Contradictions 1b. Allah's son? The Qur'an says if Allah willed he could have a son " 39:4 Had Allah wished to take to Himself a son, He could have chosen whom He pleased out of those whom He doth create: but Glory be to Him! (He is above such things.) He is Allah, the One, the Irresistible. (Yusuf Ali) If Allah had willed to choose a son, He could have chosen what He would of that which He hath created. Be He Glorified! He is Allah, the One, the Absolute. (Pickthall)" However this verse suggests he cannot " 6:101 Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth; How can He have a son when He has no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things." The Qur'an seems to ask these rhetorical questions knowing the answer is no. Pro's Argument 1. The Qur'an Challenge and the moving goalpost fallacy. Pro presents the famous Qur'an challenge. That no one could ever produce something like or better than the Qur'an. However the challenge can never be met in the eyes of the Islamic people. As they want something at the beauty of the Qur'an or better. Here's the problem, what constitutes beauty? Beauty is subjective. Asking to produce something like the Qur'an is like saying produce an ice cream like or better than strawberry. The goalpost can always be moved and the Muslims can always say "it's not as good as Sura X". Of course no Muslim would say anything's like or better than the Qur'an, as their Islamic presuppositions will always be in the way. Furthermore there's many imitated Suras. http://www.suralikeit.com... is a list of imitated Suras. In my opinion they're like the Koran's. However the goalpost will probably be moved. The True Furqan is a whole book that a responds to the Qur'an challenge. Pro states that God isn't tri-omni. I think he is mistaken. Just to clear up, when someone talks about a "tri-omni" God they mean the 3 main characteristics that refer to the God of Abrahamic religions. Conclusion The Islamic scripture is full of scientific errors and the Qur'an challenge is nothing special that has been met. [1] http://www.miraclesofthequran.com... [2] http://airs.jpl.nasa.gov...
