I was just looking to see what the Atheist view was on the Islamic science references. It has obviously come to my attention that people have their doubts about what the Quran says , therefore do not believe in the scientific references. I did not make this thread to change your minds about anything, what you believe is what you believe. It wasn't to my knowledge that people tried to debunk the scientific references and I can honestly say that I didn't research every single scientific reference myself. Therefore I am simply just going to do more research on the debunking of these scientific references and find refutes for them.
What I will do is, make other threads pertaining to the "debunking", and refute the claims.
I now have an idea of what the Atheist view is on this topic, and this thread has served its purpose. Thanks for your responses and I hope no one took any offense, if you did, that wasn't my intention and I apologize. Again thanks for the responses.
Or you could take some college level science classes that include lab work, and find out for yourself what is actually possible (and what is not possible) using the scientific method. By the way, fresh water and salt water do, indeed, mix. I had a marine aquarium for 20 years, and so I know for a fact from personal experience that they do mix. The water in your body is very salty. But you drink fresh water. If they didn't mix, you'd soon dehydrate.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
