Quote:You are repeating the same question and forcing me to repeat the same answer.Just to go into more detail on this, I think you're looking over this too simplistically.
If some man had written Quran then by nature he was supposed to reflect the influential ideas and concepts of his time in his writings. In seventh century, people thought that pain is affiliated to heart and soul (not even to brain) but by going against those ideas, Quran has put emphasis over skin to show that skin is linked with the burning sensation instead of heart.
For example, today, everyone think that feelings and emotions are the product of brain. However, if I say that brain is not producing feelings and emotions then it is a gigantic contradiction because I am going against the idea of the whole world.
I can go against the world in two cases
a. When I am under pressure or facing some psychological problems or
b. I have a firm proof about some reality, which is hidden from the people in general.
However, if a and b are not valid cases and yet the revealed information is true then that information, without any doubt, is from the source higher than the brainpower of all humans living at the time of revelation.
Thus, the information that skin sense the fire and heart has nothing to do with it makes Quran miraculous.
When people say the brain or the heart is responsible for pain they aren't saying the actual burning of the skin isn't causing the pain.
So I'm sure you agree that in ancient times people knew that burning their skin caused pain?
That is one of the most basic scientific discoveries if you can even call it that, all an ancient person would have to do is burn their skin and they would know it is painful.
So then the only thing to discover after that is does the heart or the brain or something else sense these things.
Ancient people might have believed that the brain, the heart or a unbalanced amount of body fluids resulted in pain, but they all knew that it was fire touching the skin that was the initial act which set of pain.
They might have believed that the fire touching skin was sensed by the brain, or by the heart, or that fire touching the skin caused an inbalance in body fluids.
But it would be ridiculous to say that no one noticed that burning skin causes pain altogether, and this is the only information the quran gives. The quran doesn't say
"And we will burn their skin and the pain won't be sensed by the heart it will be sensed by the brain."
It just says we will burn their skin, replace the skin burn it again and they will feel pain. Any ancient man would have known burning skin makes you feel pain, they just wouldn't have known the mechanics behind it, but the quran doesn't give any info to the mechanics behind it.
Additionally I believe you previously said that skin is the cause of pain and not the brain. But if you want to be simplistic and say any one organ is the cause for pain it would be the brain. Without skin you can sense pain in other organs, but without a brain you don't sense pain at all.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
