Damon,

Not as much as Islam is…

But, I always find it interesting when someone tries to discredit something without providing any proof, and implies that I’m linking to a picayunish site, as if that is the only one out there…

Perhaps you missed the fact that I’m a physicist. I, too, could go (and have gone) point by point and discredit the Qur’an’s scientific accuracy; but, then Muslim apologists would say that I’m taking things out of context, I’m not reading it in Arabic, I’m full of shit, etc., etc.

It’s just not worth the effort. I can link numerous other exegetes on the web who have done a thorough job of dispelling the scientific accuracy of the Qur’an, if that would make you happy. But, something tells me it just won’t matter.

Cheers

Just about every scientific claim in the Qur’an has been debunked, just like their Prophet?

Dawg, you need to stop looking at answer-islam and answering-christianity. Those sites are bad for your brain.

I found two more videos of this Dr Al-Sayyid of the Egyptian National Research Center

In first one he explains that the black stone is a semi-conductor coming from outer space:

http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/1085.htm

I read yesterday night that …..” in 930, the stone was removed and shattered by an Iraqi sect of Qarmatians, but the pieces were later returned. The pieces, sealed in pitch and held in place by silver wire, measure about 10 inches in diameter altogether and several feet high; they are venerated today in patched-together form.”….. on this page:

The second clip is about the centrality of Mecca as it has been proved by Neil Armstrong (by the way, some Muslims say that Armstrong heard a call to prayer while walking on the moon and converted after that….!!!!)

TNR,

Who was writing about IQ and diploma in the comments lately?

Oh… I see you’ve met ‘Amin…’

Yeah… I didn’t have the heart to tell him about my doctorate in physics, ’cause, quite obviously, as Amin corroborates, an education does not necessarily equate to a higher I.Q.

Cheers

The Islamic clock rotates anti-clockwise because “they” circumambulate that way around the black stone. A (pseudo)-scientist explain it clearly on the following clip:

Cookies by Martha Graham is a book inspired by God, not the Koran. The Koran is good only for fruitcakes…

dan. 7:25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.

Of course, it’s well recognised that holy books of all origins are full of it … funny that the Qur’an shouldn’t be any different. Do you know that there are those who believe that God created everything virtually as it is now, barmy I know, but true!

Well, the muslims use their own calendar so for them it’s the year 1428. In general they seem to behave as if the year were 1428. In another 600 years maybe their attitudes will catch up to today’s civilized world. Then again, the western world may become too complacent and in 600 years we would have adopted the backward muslim ways … after all, you can’t make any valid criticism of mohammedanism in public without idiots calling you racist … (as if muslims constituted a race – that’d be like being called racist for calling idiots idiots).

“…The watch is said to rotate anti-clockwise…”

Muslim time running backward? How apropos…

Since Koranists are out of this world anyway I say let them live on Mecca time-different time for a different planet.

Since the late 19th century, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich has served as the co-ordinate base for the calculation of Greenwich Mean Time. Before this, almost every town in the world kept its own local time. There were no national or international conventions to set how time should be measured, or when the day would begin and end, or what the length of an hour might be. The worldwide need for an international time standard became imperative.

The Greenwich Meridian was chosen to be the Prime Meridian of the World in 1884. Forty-one delegates from 25 nations met in for the International Meridian Conference. By the end of the conference, Greenwich had won the prize of Longitude 0º by a vote of 22 in favour to 1 against (San Domingo), with two abstentions (France and Brazil).
