Qur'an is fallible

Definition of fallible- capable of making mistakes or being wrong. . http://www.merriam-webster.com... Now, this could mean being wrong about something external or internal. If there are contradictions within the Qur"an it means that at least one of the verses involved is wrong. Some scientific inconsistencies: The Qur"an says that the Sun sets into a muddy spring where there lived a group of people. Qur"an 18:86 "Till, when he reached the setting-place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness. " Qur"an 18:90 "Till, when he reached the rising-place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom. " This is inconsistent with the evidence that we have, that the Sun does not set, especially onto the Earth, but that the Earth spins on an axis. . http://www.bbc.co.uk... . http://www.polaris.iastate.edu... The Qur"an also says that the stars are used a missles by Allah. Qur"an 67:5 "And verily We have beautified the world's heaven with stars/lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame. " But the stars are actually giant balls of gas undergoing nuclear fusion. . http://cas.sdss.org... . http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu... The Qur"an also says that the moon emits light. Qur"an 71:16 "And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp? " But the moon actually is just reflecting light off of the sun. . http://www2.astro.psu.edu... The Qur"an also states that the darkness of night is a veil over the day. Qur"an 7:54 "Your Guardian-Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession:" But the darkness is not actually a veil, it is the absence of light. Night is the absence of light due to the rotation of Earth. . http://www.tes.co.uk... . http://www.climatechangematters.net.au... The Qur"an also says there are 7 planets. Qur"an 65:12 "Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number. Through the midst of them (all) descends His Command: that ye may know that Allah has power over all things, and that Allah comprehends, all things in (His) Knowledge. " However, there are more than 7 planets. . http://phys.org... The Qur"an also has the 6 day creation myth. Qur"an 50:38 "We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in Six Days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us" But the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago, the Earth about 4.5 billion years ago. . http://www.space.com... . http://www.space.com... The Qur"an also supports the creation of life myth. Qur"an 7:189 "We created man from sounding clay, from mud molded into shape;" However, science shows us that man was actually formed from years of evolution. . http://humanorigins.si.edu... The Qur"an states that all life was formed in pairs. Qur"an 51:49 "And of every thing We have created pairs: That ye may receive instruction. " However, not all animals live in a male-female pairing. The whiptail lizard, for example, is an all female species that reproduces asexually. . http://www.scientificamerican.com... The Qur"an also says that birds only stay a flight because Allah holds them up. Qur"an 16:79 "Do they not look at the birds, held poised in the midst of (the air and) the sky? Nothing holds them up but (the power of) Allah. Verily in this are signs for those who believe" However, scientists understand the aerodynamics of the bird"s structure, and how it can actually flyby creating a pressure difference. . https://van.physics.illinois.edu... The Qur"an states that all animals live in communities. Qur"an 6:38 "There is not an animal (that lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end. " However, there are some animals that live solitary lives, such as the jaguar, leopard, and panda. . http://www.wcs.org... . http://www.cnd.org... . http://www.nhptv.org... As you can see, there are many scientific inconsistencies within the Qur"an. There are also internal inconsistencies. Was the Earth created before the heavens? Qur"an 2:29 " It is He who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; THEN He turned to the Heaven and made them into seven firmaments (Skies)" So the Earth first? Qur"an- 79:27-30 "Are you the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ? He raised the height thereof and ordered it; and He has made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morning thereof. And after that, He spread (flattened) the earth" But here it is Heaven first. How many days did it take Allah to create the Earth? Qur"an-7:54 "Your guardian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days" So, 6 days? Qur"an-41:9 "Is it that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ? " Wait, 2 days? Qur"an- 41:10 "He set on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in due proportion, in FOUR DAYS"" Plus 4 days? Qur"an-41:12 "So He completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and" Plus 2 days? Wait, but that adds up to 8 days, not 6! How long is Allah"s day? Qur"an 22:47 "Verily a day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning" So, 1000 years=1 day? Qur"an 70:4 "The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty thousands years" Wait, 50,000 years=1 day? There are many inconsistencies within the Qur"an, both with the external and with the internal. These inconsistencies show that the Qur"an is mistaken, it is fallible. If you still claim it is not fallible, do you think that you need someone to explain the Qur"an? Qur"an 54:17 "And We have indeed made the Qur'an easy to understand and remember: then is there any that will receive admonition? " If you wish to say that the Qur"an needs to be explained you are then saying that this part of the Qur"an is incorrect, making the Qur"an fallible.
