Teach me about contradictions

[John V]

Well as I said there's this verse in the quran.

Then do they not reflect upon the Qur'an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.

So finding a contradiction in the quran probably deserves more than a "So what?"

Same point - you may be applying a different meaning to contradiction than the quran is.

Note that this is a general interpretation issue, and not specific to religion. In my first semester of physics, they taught us Newton's laws without qualifiers. In my third semester, we were told they weren't really laws as they break down at high speeds and low masses. No one yelled contradiction! and stomped out of the class. We understood that the teaching in the first semester was appropriate for us at the time. But, by some definitions it was indeed a contradiction.

It's interesting that you say the Muslims I am putting this point across to have a specific meaning for what a contradiction is.

I'm speaking in general. I obviously don't know what these specific people are thinking.
