Some interpretations coupled with some imagination can seem to somewhat agree to a particular scientific fact, however that doesn't mean the whole thing is scientific. This is one of the reasons why religion is such a pain. Bible for example, being the infallible and absolutely unfalsifiable word of god, manged to get itself a couple thousand different interpretations leading to a couple thousand christian denominations.(October 31, 2014 at 12:17 pm)Aoi Magi Wrote: Without 'protection' no 'power' will help against micrometeoroids.
If that wasn't a sarcastic pointer to something I don't like to discuss,then I would say you didn't understand the verses correctly..
Arabic words have lots of meanings..Sultan for example is a word that usually represents an Arab man sitting on a throne. But it also means somebody has authority over somebody (and power).
I sometimes think the one-world-language would actually be a very good idea.
