This argument for god holds no water. How ironic.

To avoid the "loose" interpretation, word meanings and grammar rules must be used on the sentence investigated in the original language of the text.

I don't think that the text of the Quran is confusing; but I think that many Muslims simply did not like the meaning and each attempted to twist the text via changing the semantics of the whole text by the introduction of the "Hadith".

The "Hadith" is the tool that allows Muslim scholars to interpret the semantics of the Quran -which language rules and Arabic grammar dictates- into what they see fit to serve a political or an economical agenda.

Most common reactive elements, but yeah ^^^ what this guy said ^^^.

Water is inevitable where hydrogen and gravity both exist in sufficient quantity.

But it's quantity would never be enough to form the oceans.
To become a planet full of water, earth had to take a "a very strong push" from asteroids and comets full of ice.

Your written gibberish is neither scientific  or impressing.


It's embarassing that you think otherwise.

No one is denying that the water (the majority of it, at least) came from space.  The issue is whether the Quran got it right.  It's kind of telling that Islamic scholars have never brought up the origin of water on Earth until after scientists sussed it out.

But let's suppose that, a few years or decades from now, the asteroid/cometary sources of water is found to have been wrong.  A new theory posits that water was produced on Earth by exclusively terrestrial processes.  Will you admit that the Quran got it wrong?

Does the quran also say that a guy named atlas will join AF and repeatedly shit the quranic bed? Because that...that would be a quranic miracle.

This shit about things written in ancient books turning true is getting old. I can say that reality is truly random which will make determinism partially true, and ai may be proven right at some point in the future but that doesn't mean anything, it is just a wild a guess based on speculation.
On a side note, depending on your definition of "came from space" everything on earth came from space, even earth itself.
