The Quran is from God

Thanks to Pro.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 does contain information that is now known to be at odds with modern science.1. GeocentricisityThe Qur'an makes the common mistake in believing the Earth is the center of our solar system.31:29Do you not see that Allah makes the night to enter into the day, and He makes the day to enter into the night, and He has made the sun and the moon subservient (to you); each pursues its course till an appointed time; and that Allah is Aware of what you do? 21:33 And He it is Who created the night and the day and the sun and the moon; all (orbs) travel along swiftly in their celestial spheres.Some Muslim Astronomers are saying the Earth is the center because of these verses "The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in Koranic verses. Have you ever seen how the sun moves? I have seen the sun moving. The sun makes one move every 24 hours. What I say is based on Koranic science"- Muslim Researcher on Astronomy Fadhel Al-Sa'd [1].Geocentrism is false, this known by many lines of evidence.* Stellar parallax [2]* Basic Gravity [3]* Stellar aberration [4]2. Horses16:8And (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. 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 have been rideable [5]. Saying a horse was created to ride is like saying the banana was created for our convenience. 3. Layers of the atmosphereMiraclesOfTheQuran.com claims the Qur'an accurately predicts the number of layers of the Earth's atmosphere [6]. M.O.Q claims it's 7 and cites these verses 2:29 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. 41:11-12Then He turned to heaven when it was smoke. In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate. along with a justification"The word "heavens," which appears in many verses in the Qur'an, is used to refer to the sky above the Earth, as well as the entire universe. Given this meaning of the word, it is seen that the Earth's sky, or the atmosphere, is made up of seven layers.... The Arabic word "tibaqan" in these verses, translated into English as "layer" means "layer, the appropriate cover or covering for something," and thus stresses how the top layer is well suited to the lower. The word is also used in the plural here: "layers." The sky, described in the verse as being in layers, is without doubt the most perfect expression of the atmosphere. It is a great miracle that these facts, which could not possibly be discovered without the technology of the 20th century, were explicitly stated by the Qur'an 1,400 years ago." However this isn't correct. The Earth only has 5 layers as stated by NASA and other web-sites [7][8][9].4. 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 To Him is due the primal origin of the heavens and the earth: How can He have a son when He hath no consort? He created all things, and He hath full knowledge of all things. (YUSUFALI) The Originator of the heavens and the earth! How can He have a child, when there is for Him no consort, when He created all things and is Aware of all things? (Pickthall)" The Qur'an seems to ask these rhetorical questions knowing the answer is no. ConclusionThe Qur'an contradicts science and itself, meaning a God did not revel it. The resolution is negated. Now to Pro [1] http://www.memritv.org... [2] http://abyss.uoregon.edu...
