That's a little better,if a bit snitty. Participation works both ways. On a discussion forum one usually begins by stating one's own views. I'm not able to participate in a discussion with some anonymous author. I'm interested in what YOU think.
Not being a mind reader, I had no idea of your intentions. All I saw was blind link. As a matter of principle,I do not follow blind links from people I don't know.My trust is earned,it may not be assumed..
I reject the Qur'an and all other sacred texts as the basis for argument or as evidence for anything.
So far,no one in recorded history has provided any evidence for the existence of gods,and certainly no theologian. Such people begin from a position of personal certitude and are incapable of considering the possibility of error. I decline to engage with such people,it's like trying to communicate with another species.
Have you read the Qur'an or the other sacred texts?

"Not every contradiction is impossible, not every thesis has an antithesis, not all answers are multiple choice with one correct answer."
Do you have examples of the possible contradictions? and thesis lacking an antithesis?
The point I made was more to essentially point out the error in the logic of the author of the paper. The point being that he couldn't really say any of those things with absolute certainty. He's merely setting up the parameters to set up the rules for an arguement he goes to great pains to make sure he trys to seem he's not making at that point.
But since you're asking for specific examples, no, I don't have any.
But are you able to prove that some contradictions are possible? Or are you saying simply he cannot prove that every contradiction is impossible?
