You changed your argument. No matter, I'll address the new one as well.
Bullshit. Utter bullshit.
Faith is a convenient excuse for intellectual laziness or incapacity. Believing in something is not the same as having faith - especially if that belief is justified. Your personal interests are molded according to your understanding of the world - so your simplistic statement interests molding the understanding is not only wrong, its foolish. This applies to phenomenological concepts as well - which are well within range of scientific inquiry. As a matter of fact, the science that studies them is referred to as psychology.
More bullshit. We define what constitutes "running systematically" based on how the universe runs. Saying that the universe runs "systematically" is tautological. Further, the universe is not an agent - so the question of controlling anything and anyone is foolish. As to its cause - we do not even know if there can be a cause - so quranic speculations on its existence and nature are also bullshit.
So I'm guessing you must have proven each and every one of errors and contradictions presented to be wrong and the website hosting them must have realized the error of their ways and taken them down? No? Then you are simply blinding yourself to the unnatural parts of the quran - and therefore, blind faith.

Now this human understanding gets its shapes through influences of personal interests. It would not be an exaggeration if I say our point of interests moulds our understandings. It is specifically the case with phenomenal concepts, which are inside our minds and bodies, but we can’t explain them scientifically.

It is an illogical idea that universe is controlling its own self. Do we think universe is controlling our lives on earth and it is the universe, which regulates the time of our lives?

Quran commands everything in compliance with nature whereas sacrificing own children is not a natural concept. So far, I have not seen any commandment in Quran to be un-natural.[/size]
