Miracle

[bennyboy]

According to the modern teachings of science, the main idea is that iron on earth is a foreign element, which was not part of earth at the time of its formation. The main idea of this fact goes side by side with the main idea of the verse without any contradiction.

"The cat sat in the hat" Doesn't contradict the teachings of modern science, because cats can sit in hats, but it isn't a miracle, NOT contradicting science doesn't mean something is a miracle.

Here's this thread in a nutshell: Harris is taking things we already know well, and claiming that past knowledge according with current knowledge is a miracle.

To prove a miracle, Harris must do the following: 1) show something that does NOT accord with science in the Quran; 2) show that it is true.  This is my criterion for consideration for miracle (really, just a meaning): that something contradict all we know and believe, and can be shown to be true.
