Have you talked to the author about his intentions?
One issue I have being a writer is someone interpreting my work to mean something it wasn't meant to mean. However, I suppose that's what it means to be a writer. Unless I incorporate a full appendix of everything I meant, future individuals can interpret it any way they want and think they are correct in their interpretation.
OMG.
If i can think of such a vastly superior way to convey knowledge, if a young kid can, if basically anyone can, why didnt that all knowing and benevolent being bother to?
What part of that drawing you think would have been too difficult to understand for a seventh century adult? How much room for interpretation do you think that would have left? How hard would have a simple experiment with fruits and a fucking candle been, in order to confirm what god has written?
How fucking lazy was that god to try to limit his "important message" to a mere few hundred pages of unintelligible blather? Was he too busy with spending his (unlimited!) time with something else (like watching us in our bedrooms, or smiting heathens left and right?). Even George R. R. Martin was able to easily outwrite god/allah, and he didnt even pretend that all his writings are true and must be obeyed.
Why didnt god/allah adress a few things, but clearly and unmistakenly, instead of a gazillion things open to numerous interpretations?
If god was the (science) teacher of my kids, i would get him fired.
Please lets at least stop pretending that some superior intellect tried to convey scientific knowledge by using the most ineffectual way: Written language/prose
