the Qur'an holds more truth and is more advance in a sense than the bible.

I will not be arguing that the Bible is true; rather that both this and the Quran are scientifically false. I do respect that these are holy books, and understand Wahhabi or Salafi interpretations are hardly the majority. I will be sure to cite all quotations in the Quran or Bible as requested. I'm glad it seems we can agree on scientifically proven evidence only. That said, this should be interesting. I will concede at the outset to all my opponent's cited errors of logic or fact in the Bible. My contention will simply be that the Quran also has just as many if not more errors of this kind. 1) Surah Al Anbiya 21:30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water ? Will they not then believe? "Were of one piece, then we parted them" does not appear by any stretch of imagination to do with a "big bang" or explosion in any manner. Rather this seems to indicate the sun, moon and stars were together until separated. Note the similarity to Genesis 1:6-7: And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. (Both the Quran and Bible hold to ancient views of the universe, with a dorm forming over the earth from which the rain fell (the water above) separated from the waters below. 2) Surah Al Dhariyat 51:47: "Allah has created the expanding universe the vastness of space." The translation I have reads: "We have built the heaven with might, and We it is Who make the vast extent (thereof)." This does not appear to refer to an "expanding universe" as we know it http://en.wikipedia.org... but rather saying Allah created the expanse of it, a crucial difference. Also, the next few verses, which my opponent has not mentioned, leave much to be desired: Surah Al Dhariyat 51:48: "And the earth have We laid out, how gracious is the Spreader (thereof)!" Going by the same logic Pro uses above, this seems to indicate the Earth is flat (as was commonly believed then) and holds with the dome idea of waters above and below I had mentioned previously. Surah Al Dhariyat 51:49: "And all things We have created by pairs, that haply ye may reflect." This is far more blatantly false, as we know that many animals reproduce asexually. http://en.wikipedia.org... Surah Al Dhariyat 51:50 "Therefore flee unto Allah; lo! I am a plain warner unto you from him." This indicates someone else is writing or dictating the Quran-Prophet Muhammad? There are many more instances of this. 3) Surah Al Tariq 86:11: "By the heaven which giveth the returning rain" ? Is this what Pro refers to? I wouldn't find it surprising that people in any land would know the obvious fact that rain comes from the sky. However I fail to see how this "described the water cycle in great detail" as Pro suggests. Please give us the other examples. Right before this is a flatly unscientific belief however. Surah Al Tariq 86:5-7: "Let man consider from what he is created. He is created from a gushing fluid that issued from between the loins and the ribs." The author of the Quran does not appear to know that semen is created in the testicles, rather than by some organ higher up. More specifically, human beings are created from fertilized ovum, rather than semen alone (though it was the belief at the time that the entire human was held in the semen, then planted in the womb, hence this verse). 4) Surah Al Muminun 23:12-14: "Verily We created man from a product of wet earth. Then placed him as a drop (of seed) in a wet lodging. Then fashioned We the drop a clot, then fashioned We the clot a little lump, then fashioned We the little lump bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it as another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!" Is this what Pro refers to? This appears to be the same unscientific view that human beings are made from clay. 5) Pro has not cited this verse, so I cannot proceed very far. At other points however the Quran indicates the Earth is flat. This appears to be more contradiction than anything else. Pro says at the end of his argument "you must imagine that this was written in the Qur'an 1400 years ago before anyone found out the world was round." This is simply incorrect. The idea of a spherical earth dates back to 6th century BC Greece http://en.wikipedia.org.... In the 3rd century AD "Hellenistic astronomy established the spherical shape of the Earth as a physical given." This was centuries before the Quran was written, so the idea was well known and accepted among many. The scientific errors and contradictions I have cited are just a few of many. The Quran is no more accurate than the Bible in these respects. I refute the resolution: "the Qur'an holds more truth and is more advance(sic) in a sense than the bible." 6) Again no citation. However, consider Surah Nooh 71:16 And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp? "A light therein" appears to mean the moon has its own light, contradicting the other verse my opponent cites and claiming the same thing as the Bible.
