I would buy that if it's one thing that was made up and accidentally worked. 2 Things and I'll call the writer lucky.
But 600 pages of this? With big claims ringing a bell like earth needing an anchor to keep it in line (who said it was moving; anyways?), the skies being a ceiling (who said it needed protection anyways?).
This website should have a jar on the kitchen table, kinda like a cussing jar, you put in a dollar every time you cuss, but in this case, a "bad logic" jar, where you put in a dollar every time you use a bad argument.
I really don't know how many times I can repeat this.
1. Christians try to retrofit science to fit the bible too.
2. Hindus try to retrofit science to point to their religion too.
3. Jews try to retrofit science to point to their religion too.
4. Buddhists try to retrofit science to point to their religion too.
NO Atlass, it does not work when you try this or anyone tries this.
Your brain is working backwards in time to justify what you desire to be true. It does not work like that.
The ancient Greeks coined the word "atom", but that had a very ambiguous non scientific meaning back then. Back then all it meant was "the smallest thing one could imagine that could not be divided". That is not the same as our modern scientific definition in "Atom=proton/electron/neutron/quark".
You are simply trying to match modern science to ambiguous verses which DID NOT demonstrate one bit of modern understanding. Otherwise you should believe in the ancient Greek polytheistic gods because they invented the word "atom".
There are no modern formulas in the Koran just like their are no modern formulas in the bible or Jewish OT, or the Hindu Bhavad Gita/Vedas, nor in any ancient Buddhist writings.
You are committing the same fallacy of seeing patterns that are not there. NOBODY back then knew anything about modern science.
