That's great. Keep your beliefs on your own way.

We didn't gather here for your convenient preaching. Put you religious shitposting in religious subforums here and leave it out of the science subforums.

Asshole.

So this is water on the Earth's surface. Not rain and snow and ice and glaciers but the water that actually covers the surface of the Earth is EXACTLY 71.111%. At the center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km). It is surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy. Sep 26, 2012. The inner core of IRON is the EXACT MIDDLE of the Earth just as Chapter 57 Al-Hadyd " The Iron" is EXACTLY the middle of The Qur'an. So I appreciate u sharing that with me because it helped me to become more knowledgeable of the differences between the inner and outer core of our planet. However u still see from this scientific knowledge listed here The EXACT center of the Earth does consist of IRON which is one of the miracles that was listed. So I thank u my friend for supporting my point.

All of that shit you've just regurgitated is incorrect. The earth has about 71% of its surface covered by water (where are you seeing 71.11%?) but that's only if you include ice and snow, including the polar ice caps. I provided a link which breaks it down for you. The earth's core is iron-nickel and solid, not iron and liquid. There is no "exact" middle of the earth since the earth is not a perfect sphere.

That's what God does, send His signs in the Qur'an to show that this scripture could only come from Him alone.


That's not a pathway to truth; pointing out parts of the claim doesn't substantiate the claim as a whole any more than does my saying that Darth Vader existed in history because of the phrase "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If religious belief was just one percent as testable as science, we would never again have these sorts of disagreements.

 I'll just use a few of the miracles I listed.

So u  seem to think that the knowledge given from a scripture with religious commands and laws, but just happens to have for instance the word "land" mentioned through its 6,236 verses EXACTLY 13 times and the word "sea" EXACTLY 32 times, 32+13=45 13/45=28.89% and 32/45=71.11% THE EXACT PERCENTAGES of LAND AND WATER that cover our planet today, comes from some human being? Or the alphanumerical value of "Al-Hadyd" (The Iron), Chapter 57 of the Qur'an, which is EXACTLY half of the 114 total chapters. With Arabic alphanumeric the H=8 D=4 Y=10 D=4 totaling 26. Isn't it remarkable that the atomic number for iron is, as it always has been, even before the 7th century when the Qur'an was first revealed to mankind, is 26? But then to take it a step further so it can't be called "just a coincidence", when u add the article "Al" meaning The in Arabic, making it The Iron the alphanumerical value of A=1 and L=30 totaling 31 added to the already calculated 26=57 which is also the EXACT number of the chapter of the Qur'an. And to go even one step further. If the Qur'an was cut exactly in half which is at chapter 57 The iron and if the Earth was cut exactly in half showing the Earth's core it consists of molten IRON. Is this something a human being knew in the 7th century when technology did not even yet exist?

Sheed, you got to remember something, we didn't believe your bullshit the first time, the second time, the third time, right now and we'll not believe it any time you produce it in future.

And that is ur prerogative. But just because u don't believe it doesn't mean it's not true. The truth will always prevail whether u believe it or not. So I'm not trying to make u believe in the Qur'an as God's word, that is not in my power to do. But I do show that the miracles of the Qur'an is factual
knowledge from The Most High, which neither u nor anyone else, whether u believe it or not, can say is untrue.

So who besides The Most High God Almighty, had this knowledge of these true factual statements, about science and astronomy, and mathematics in the 7th century, when technology (microscopes, telescopes, computers, man-made satellites etc.) did not exist?

Just to play devil's advocate let's say I agree with u that the core is nickel and IRON. U still see the element of IRON in the core. Now if u proved to me that the core does not contain IRON at all then my statement would be useless. But it is very interesting to see that IRON is in the core. Just because the Earth isn't a perfect sphere doesn't mean it doesn't have an exact center. We as humans aren't shaped perfectly as a particular shape but I guarantee there is some point in each of our bodies that is our EXACT CENTER. Then u dug urself an even deeper hole to climb out of when u said The Earth surface is ABOUT 71% covered in water. 71.111% is ABOUT 71% less than .1% difference that's really close to or as u say ABOUT 71%. here's the link to verify the scientific confirmation of that water.usgs.gov/edu/earthhowmuch.html

That's great. Keep your beliefs on your own way.

Asshole.

Hey I never said one single offensive word towards ur's or anyone else's belief or lack thereof. But u can call me whatever u like, I promise u I won't lose any sleep over it. But I must say the truth hurts sometimes, especially when u don't believe in it. And even more when u cannot prove it as untrue. So my goal here is not to change ur belief or lack thereof, I have no power to do that. But I have shown with scientific, astronomical, and mathematical support and facts that the Qur'an contains miraculous knowledge and information which can come from no human being but only from God Allah Himself. And as God says in The Qur'an 18:29 "For he who wishes to believe let him believe and he who wishes to disbelieve let him disbelieve". Ur not affecting me in anyway

Hey, I don't go to Islamic forums and start telling everyone there that Allah's imaginary.

The fact that you can't find it in yourself to reciprocate the courtesy makes you an asshole.

This thread is about science, not your delusions, not your preachments.
