I also feel amazed by how much the ancient people were able to achieve with their limited knowledge and technology, and how much the modern people are able to misinterpret and ignore despite the vast amount of knowledge available.
i was thinking about universe recently and thought that there might be a god i'm not sure though i can not deny or prove either. but those holy books which are bible and qura'n they are like a really hateful, sexist , homophobic books . how can we know if they are man-made or not ? how did the holy books guessed all those scientific facts before human being did ? did they copy the older nations science (greek - maya)? or god gave them some of his knowledge ? i'm really confused and lost between fake proofs and real ones
it was so old i mean there was no technology like nowadays . how did they find out
find out that there are 11 planets.
"And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."
(The Qur'an, 51:47) that earth expands
and that mountains prevent earthquake
seems like there is no response for that.
and if mohamad stole these info from ancients , myths say that he couldnt read or write so
Mohammad might've been illiterate, but that doesn't mean he didn't have a functioning brain and ears. In ancient times knowledge mostly spread through words of mouth, so it is quite normal for him to know of the prevalent theories and ideas of his time.
All religious scripts claim to have scientific facts which are later discovered, but the this is if there truly were scientific facts we wouldn't have had the need to rediscover them in the first place.
