[Quranic Reflection]: is being closed minded the cause of disbelief ?

[Pat Mustard]

Not believing is actually a type of "not making sense" of the environment around .
I reached this conclusion from the following verse in the Quran:

Sura 10, The Quran:
https://quran.com/10/100?translations=
   
(100) It is not for any soul to believe except by Allah’s leave, and He will bring His wrath upon those who are unmindful.

[Translation]: Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

History proved that the worst type of humans are ignorant humans who insist on staying ignorant and never open their minds to new things.
Actually; you can compare the humans of the past who were ready to crucify another person for believing earth was round, to the modern people who accept even multiverses.

No being closed minded leads to the retention of irrational beliefs like christianity or islam. All the known evidence says that disbelief is the correct position, and there's enough of it that it would take extremely strong evidence to the conteary to overturn. You have no evidence to the contrary.

There is a word for this attitude: stubbornness. Stubbornness is practiced by all humans, but it's not always carried out because of insufficient evidence given by the other party: in many times there are other causes for stubbornness, including racism,sexism, or whatever causing it.

The more a person is stubborn the harder for them to learn anything new; hence believe in anything new too. I think many athiests are stubborn; not just "finding that the provided evidence is not sufficient".

Your attempt to poison the well is noted.

In my eyes, the evidence truly -is- not sufficient -- Woefully so.  You're just going to have to accept that the things that convince you are not convincing to everyone.  I have very good reasons for not believing religious claims, most notably the fact that they don't stand up to empirical analysis in the real world.

I'm going to give you a demonstration of how this process works.  Do you believe the Islamic story about the moon splitting in two?  If so, kindly provide me with the location of this alleged event (i.e. its position in relation to the craters and mare on the visible side of the moon).  It's only fair to warn you that I'm a citizen scientist astronomer with good knowledge of major lunar features, and I have resources such as NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to refer to.
