He also claimed that the "Hadith are generally untrustworthy" and the stories in the Hadith are not meant to be taken literally.Abd Lomax on Reddit.

Lomax did not deny the possibility of miracles but disputed the claims of Rashad Khalifa regarding numeric miracles in the Qur'an.The Number 19 in the Qur'an. Bahá'í Library Online.bismillAhi r-raHmAni r-raHiym.
Concerning Khalifa, Lomax wrote:

Running Like Zebras. Braionbow Press. According to critics, Lomax was notorious for ad hominem.Personal Attacks from Daniel Lomax.
=== Martin Gardner ===
Lomax's skepticism about numerical miracles was positively cited in a book by Martin Gardner. Lomax cited Gardner on websites to prevent himself from being labelled as a pseudo-scientist for his unorthodox views about cold fusion.Abd Profile at LessWrong. (http://archive.is/DQiBq Archived). "As to rational skepticism, I was known to Martin Gardner, who quoted a study of mine on the so-called Miracle of the Nineteen in the Qur'an, the work of Rashad Khalifa, whom I knew personally." However, what this actually shows is an example of stopped clock.
===God===
Lomax held contradictory ideas about God. One of his favourite claims that he said for over twenty years on the internet was that "God is reality".
You would expect Lomax to have been a pantheist with this view but he believed in an anthropomorphic deity that could curse, forgive and reward people. 
Lomax rejected science and believed that God created the "heavens and the earth", so he believed in a personal deity and also claimed to have seen miracles.Abd Lomax on Reddit.

=== Cold fusion ===
Lomax was the owner of the pseudoscientific "Infusion Institute" which he formed in December, 2013.What is Infusion Institute? It is not a recognized scientific institute, he was the only member. In 2015, he wrote a paper arguing for cold fusion that was published in the peer-reviewed journal Current Science.Lomax, Abd ul-Rahman. (2015). Replicable cold fusion experiment: heat/helium ratio. Current Science 108 (4): 574-577. (Also check Archive if link is offline).Articles written by Lomax, Abd Ul-Rahman. Current Science.
According to Lomax:
At least one news report incorrectly described Lomax as a "physicist".Cold fusion is real, claim scientists. "We have direct evidence that the effect is real and is nuclear in nature," US physicist Abdul-Rahman Lomax of the Infusion Institute in Massachusetts says in his report." Lomax made a number of far-fetched claims, for example he stated that with further development "cold fusion could supply clean power for humanity indefinitely."Cold fusion journalism.
Lomax was the owner of Lomax Design Associates, based in Northampton, Massachusetts. In 2011 he gave a presentation at the pseudoscientific Cold Fusion/Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions Colloquium at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.2011 Cold Fusion/Lattice-Assisted Nuclear Reactions Colloquium

Lomax was a cholesterol denialist who argued that high LDL cholesterol levels did not increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.Science and Medicine. Cold Fusion Community.Labos. Cold Fusion Community.Special Place in Hell. Cold Fusion Community. He denied that there was a link between saturated fat consumption and increased blood cholesterol levels. He ate a low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) meat-based diet and similar to other low-carb fanatics recommended high consumption of saturated fat. He also defended the dangerous carnivore diet and pseudoscientific ideas of Shawn Baker. "Baker knows his stuff", Lomax commented in 2019.Abd Lomax defending Shawn Baker
Lomax spent years eating the Atkins diet, which most of the medical community have rejected as a fad diet.Talk:Atkins diet. Wikipedia. 
Lomax argued against low-fat and vegan diets. On his website he defended cholesterol denialists and low-carb promoters such as Malcolm Kendrick and Gary Taubes. Lomax argued on his website (without providing evidence) that a high-fat diet would decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease or stroke. For example, Lomax said that "In spite of being high-fat, Atkins eaters improved cardiac risk factors". He gave no peer-reviewed scientific evidence for this statement. 
Lomax said he was diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia in 1990 and with prostate cancer in 2007. In April 2020, Lomax had an ischemic stroke.Lomax on Reddit. "I had an ischemic stroke several weeks ago, and writing and editing are difficult for me. But it’s possible. I’m doing a lot of sudoku in my ample spare time.

His arteries were blocked and he had a coronary stent and a cardiac monitor implanted.news from the dead In the last years of his life he resided at an extended care facility.

=== Parapsychology ===
Lomax was supportive of research in parapsychology but claimed he was not a "believer" in the subject. He argued against skeptics who dismissed parapsychology as pseudoscientific and referred to skeptics of parapsychology as "pseudoskeptics".Parapsychology/Dispute over Scientific Status/Abd. Wikiversity. (Archive).Update May 16, 2016. Also check the Archive. Lomax argued that:
The vast majority of scientists, however, consider it a pseudoscience.Friedlander, Michael W. (1998). At the Fringes of Science. Westview Press. p. 119. ISBN 0-8133-2200-6 "Parapsychology has failed to gain general scientific acceptance even for its improved methods and claimed successes, and it is still treated with a lopsided ambivalence among the scientific community. Most scientists write it off as pseudoscience unworthy of their time."Pigliucci, Massimo; Boudry, Maarten. (2013). Philosophy of Pseudoscience: Reconsidering the Demarcation Problem. University Of Chicago Press p. 158. "Many observers refer to the field as a "pseudoscience". When mainstream scientists say that the field of parapsychology is not scientific, they mean that no satisfying naturalistic cause-and-effect explanation for these supposed effects has yet been proposed and that the field's experiments cannot be consistently replicated."
He worked with psychic Craig Weiler and his friend Ben Steigmann in promoting paranormal studies on Wikiversity. These studies were deleted in January, 2018.The Parapsychology articles on Wikiversity were written by Dean Radin, Abd ul-Rahman Lomax, Ben Steigmann and Craig Weiler but were later deleted. Also see the archived Parapsychology talk page. Wikiversity.
=== Defense of Emil Kirkegaard and racialism ===
Lomax's exact views on race were hard to pin down, but he defended individuals from the "race realist" community, which he believed was a respectable position. In February 2018, he wrote an extremely bizarre article defending Emil O. W. Kirkegaard and the controversial London Conference on Intelligence. Lomax said he had not seen any evidence that offensive or racist material was presented at the UCL conferences. This was despite the fact that over 80% of the speakers have published papers in the Mankind Quarterly, a pseudo-scholarly racist journal.Exposed: London’s eugenics conference and its neo-Nazi links. London Student. 10 Jan 2018. Lomax defended the journal and criticized the Wikipedia article on it as biased, describing it as "clearly a scientific journal". Mainstream academics have described the Mankind Quarterly as a "white supremacist journal".Joe L. Kincheloe, et. al, Measured Lies: The Bell Curve Examined, Palgrave Macmillan, 1997, pg. 39
Lomax took issue with the Southern Poverty Law Center which he claimed was "highly political". He criticized their report on Richard Lynn, claiming "this hit piece is simply hitting on stereotypes about racism and sexism, knee-jerk expectations". On his blog, Lomax linked to the neo-Nazi encyclopedia Rightpedia as a "valid" source of information. One can speculate that his defense of alt-right speakers such as Kirkegaard and Lynn stemmed from his interest in protecting civil liberties:
== Internet trolling ==
As an internet troll, and cyber-harasser, Lomax was infamous for disruption, trolling of admins, and posting of other editors personal information. He was banned from a number of forums and wikis, including Wikipedia, RationalWiki, Wikiversity, Meta-Wiki,https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Abd and Encyclopedia Dramatica.User:Abd. Encyclopedia Dramatica.
He used his blog to attack administrators on websites he was banned from; mainly by weaponizing Google searches, so if someone searched a name — his blog would show up with ad hominem, lies and smears written about them. Lomax' Rationalwiki account User:Abd was blocked during 2020, 9 years after he started editing. After being blocked from RationalWiki and Wikipedia, Lomax wrote thousands of words on his blog about his bans, continuing to attack more editors. 
In December 2017, Lomax was permanently blocked on Wikiversity for long-term disruption and misusing the site for his personal vendettas to harass other users.Abd Blocked. (Archived).

However, in February 2019, even bottom feeder Encyclopedia Dramatica had enough of him and permanently banned Lomax for attacking other editors by creating defamatory articles about them.http://archive.is/WiyJi
==Lomax v. WikiMedia Foundation, Inc.==
Lomax filed a lawsuit against the Wikimedia Foundation in February, 2019 for publicizing the ban of his username. He also invoked an irrational conspiracy theory that a group of skeptical editors including several admins teamed up to ban his account and acted with "malice". The case was dismissed in June, 2020. Lomax's claims had no basis in fact and were based on "mere speculation".
==Spoofing people's names==

Lomax also sent Larson a board-game.
Lomax disturbingly claimed hebephilia (sexual preference for pubescent children typically aged 11-14) is "more or less normal".https://archive.fo/rS5gX In a blog post written in 2020 on his website titled "Association with Bad Actors", Lomax defends a number of pedophiles and paedophile-apologists including Larson and Michael Coombs.https://archive.is/1F8Pf Lomax denied that Larson was a pedophile (despite Larson previously describing himself as a pedophile), writing "he [Larson] is not a pedophile" and "his sexual preferences are normal, not specially-young women." Not long after Lomax wrote this bizarre and inaccurate blog post, Larson was arrested for child abduction (his victim was a 12 year old girl), soliciting child pornography from a minor, and meeting a child for the intention of sex; he also administrated a pedophile forum named Rapey that was already under investigation for child pornography.https://www.newsweek.com/petition-fbi-investigation-child-abuse-pedophile-forum-1532583https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/12/20/nathan-larson-congressional-candidate-arrested-kidnapping-virginia-california/3985536001/https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/clarissajanlim/nathan-larson-arrested After the arrest, Lomax continued to defend Larson,https://incels.wiki/w/Nathan_Larson#2021_defensehttps://www.reddit.com/r/RealWikiInAction/comments/ljo9c0/child_abductor_transported_to_fresno_to_face/go2g5th/ (see Lomax's comments in thread for quotation) for example arguing he could be innocent since he did not know the age of the girl he abducted and asserting he didn't deceive her (blatantly false since he groomed her online knowing she was vulnerable because of her young age) and doubting whether he kidnapped the girl:
Lomax was sympathetic to child pornography and claimed (without any evidence), "devices that measure penile erection have shown that normal males have a response to child porn."https://archive.is/yqFzu A blog post on Genderdesk documents his writings on .https://genderdesk.wordpress.com/2021/02/23/abd-invokes-lewis-carroll/ The Genderdesk blogger also discovered Lomax had a history of defending Nathan Larson as far back as 2014, writing on a Wikimedia site, "Larson "is not a pedophile. He doesn’t fit the definitions. He has no history of molesting children."http://archive.is/bzehA Prior to being arrested, Larson left comments on Abd's website asking him for a character reference to enroll at a university for a Master's degree. According to Larson, "I've asked other people to be a reference and they're all either ignoring me or turning me down."https://archive.md/IPorr
In several blog posts on Lomax's website he defended Michael Coombs who has admitted to being sexually attracted to "underage girls". Lomax, however, denied Coombs was a pedophile on the basis of his sexual attraction to children not being primary or exclusive; instead, Lomax claimed "This is, indeed, normal male sexuality and definitely not pedophilia."https://archive.is/r4ssA In his blog post "Association with Bad Actors", Lomax also defended Emil Kirkegaard, an activist for legalizing child pornography.https://archive.is/r4ssA In 2018, Kirkegaard filed a libel suit after being called a pedophile and Lomax published numerous misleading blog pages defending him during the lawsuit; in 2020, Kirkegaard lost the case by discontinuance, having earlier lost the preliminary judgment. https://twitter.com/KeidanHarrison/status/1263951923629174784 Lomax later described the failed lawsuit as "unskillfully prosecuted" by Kirkegaard.https://www.reddit.com/r/RealWikiInAction/comments/keuufd/abd_lomax_emil_kirkegaard_the_retainer_was_10000/
