2. Your assuming that nothing aside god can create a reliable brain . The imperfections of our brain and thinking are a fact if they were not then we would have no need for science, logic ,or math or philosophy or any form of study.
3. It is a baseless assertion that everything that begins to exist has a cause . It's also a baseless assertion that the universe had beginning or a cause.
Quote:The content of the Qur'an is too sophisticated to be the work of the person you're talking about.
The Quran like every other so called holy book is a development of gradual cultural evolution. It was not created in a vacuum. But even if it wasn't this is clearly an argument from incredulity .
1. I am only assuming that human brain must have a supernatural creator, because otherwise judgment of the brain cannot be trusted. A supernatural creator per se doesn't need a brain because he has by definition all the absolute attributes. Is our brain perfect ? No. Is it reliable ? We are compelled to answer yes. And we should provide a rational justification of our answer, whichever it is.
2. I agree, our brain is imprefect. But the fact alone that we can produce science means our brains are somehow reliable.
3. The universe expanded from a very high density state, the notions of space and time didn't exist in the beginning. The universe has a starting point and there must have an explanation for its existence. Because out of nothing comes nothing.
I don't think it is even serious to claim that the Quran was written by an illiterate man in the 7th century, and not one of its verses seems to be obviously false with known modern scientific facts.
