The Qur'an is not the word of God, it contains too many scientific mistakes.

First example; You barely replied to the argument, you just dodged it and posted something completely irrelevant. You copy pasted Zaghlool el Naggar who is not an earth science professor, he is simply an Islamic scholar. Proceeding, first the earth and heavens were not smoke. Dukhhan means smoke, which is a product of fire. The dense state you are mentioning during the big bang was GAS, not smoke. This is a crucial mistake you have just fallen into, not including that you did not reply to my argument on the Ayah regarding the correct order of the universe creation. So please be more precise. Then again, you moved onto to present another argument about the heavens preceding the word earth in the Qur'an which still proves nothing. The ayah I presented is pretty clear, so please do not diverge and debate something I was not debating in the first place. I will return to the Ayah I presented and please stay in topic and please do not copy paste from Islamic sites, use your own words and your own interpretations. Another aspect that I already clarified that I will take for argument sake that day means a long period of time, lets say a billion years or whatever. Is that ok? I have no intentions on debating the word days in Arabic or how long does it mean. The Ayah 41:9-12 broken down claims; First, that Allah created the earth in two days. Then he created the mountains in four days. Then he turned to the heaven when it was smoke. If we look at it and take it that scientific miracle of mentioning the big bang because it was "smoke", then this verse claims that the earth was created first before the big bang. Then he adorned the heavens with lamps, obviously meaning stars. So how does that conform with modern science? The ayah clearly states that the earth was created before the stars. How is that possible? If an all knowing God created this universe he would've known that earth was created 4 billion years ago, while the rest of the universe was created 14 billion years ago. So the Ayah is just pligarizes old mythical creation tales and it is not scientific whatsoever. Second Example; I forgot to mention that I am an Egyptian and an ex-muslim. So I understand Arabic clearly as it is my first language and I studied almost my entire life the Islamic religion. "Wa min kol shay2en khalaqna zawjayn" 51:49 I know that this does not apply only to biology. However, according to this verse I should look around me and I find that everything has a pair. Male and female, day and night, right and left, etc.... I know that the pair rule is pretty common, but not EVERYTHING is created in pairs. There are many creatures that does not have a counterpart. So if the Ayah stated instead of everything has a pair, but almost everything has a pair then it would've been correct. However, it is not. But, this is God we are talking about he should know that to every rule there are exceptions. In biology there are a lot of exceptions to this rule and as a biologist I can definitely relate. If this message is truly from God, then he would've known about parthenogenesis. Parthenogenesis is the Asexual reproduction of a being without the need of an opposite sex or a dual. This means that the species clones itself and thus does not require a "pair". This can even occur in bigger species such as sharks. There were three female sharks held up in a tank and it did not require a male to give birth (1). So where is the pairing in this circumstance? This debunks the ayah clearly. Other instances is viruses. Viruses have no counterpart, they live as one and reproduce thousands. It does not need a pair or a counterpart. Bacteria are also known for being asexual and does not need a counterpart. An all knowing God should've known there are exceptions to the pair rule. However, Allah did plainly say that everything is created in pairs and simply neglected all the other creatures that requires no pair. Why did that happen, simply because the people writing the Qur'an at the time did not have knowledge of such creatures and neither anyone at that time. So 1400 years ago that Ayah is correct, but now 1400 years later and with the scientific discoveries, this Ayah is clearly wrong. Antibodies are proteins, they are not a pair of a living cell. I am quite astonished about how you claim that viruses and bacteria have counterparts in antibodies. It's like saying a fork and a steak are counterparts because I use the fork to eat the steak. Not so logical, right? I don't know why I was cut off, but I was saying that Muslims turn a blind eye on these scientific mistakes simply because they don't want to believe that what they believed their entire lives is wrong.
