Miracle

[Harris]

And nobody can explain why the Quran, which is such a Miracle, is missing infinitely more science than you claim it contains.

I think the rule is this: if you could not do something, but Criss Angel or Jesus could, then it's a miracle.

Scientific facts in Quran obliterate any probability of human involvement in the making of Quran. These scientific facts are not meant to give science lessons.

Quran constantly calls upon the reader to observe the perpetual change of the winds, the alterations of day and night, the clouds, the starry heavens, the planets swimming through infinite space, etc. and by this invites people to reflect on the signs of God’s creation. Reflection only confirms prophecy; what is learned by authority confirmed by investigation.

Quran speaks not only to Muslims, but also to everyone who is able to read and understand it. It constantly urges the reader to consider rationally the evidences for Islam, and so places a high value on reason by offering rational indications of the truth of what it is advocating in terms of signs and proofs.

Islam is a rational system of beliefs and it requires its adherents to attend to rational arguments concerning how they are to behave and think. For example, one accepts that “God does not exist” without questioning how this is possible that whole universe is running with an extreme precision and does not have any leading authority that control all those precise, harmonic, and orderly actions.

Quran specifically and repeatedly asks Muslims to investigate systematically natural phenomena, not simply as a vehicle for understanding nature but also as a means for getting close to God.

“It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light (of beauty), and measured out stages for her (moon); that ye might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth and righteousness. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand.”

“Verily, in the alternation of the night and the day, and in all that Allah hath created, in the heavens and the earth, are signs for those who fear Him.”

Yunus (10)
-Verses 5 – 6 -

You have no idea at all what physicists mean by extra dimensions, and have obviously zero understanding of Quantum Mechanics.

Physicists will try to understand this sort of stuff by using, amongst other things, Vector Calculus, Tensor Mathematics and a lot of hard work. You seem to get your understanding from watching old episodes of the Twilight Zone and Star Trek.

“The idea of a parallel world that took a different course at some critical historical junction is a favourite theme of science-fiction authors. But as real science, I have always dismissed such ideas as frivolous nonsense. But to my surprise I find myself talking and thinking about just such matters.”

I was being sarcastic.  Near enough everyone can feel pain in the skin when it burns so the quran revealing that people feel pain from their skin burning is not a miracle.

Here you go astray. People have only recently discovered neurons and found how they conduct and interpret signals, including sensations such as pain, within the body. Before that, people had no idea of what causes pain when skin exposed to the fire.
