Islam is the real deal

[robvalue]

The Qur'an has many miraculous attributes proving that it is a revelation from God. One of these attributes is the fact that a number of scientific truths that we have only been able to uncover by the technology of the 20th century were stated in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago.

Of course the Qur'an is not a book of science.These facts could not have been known at the time of the Qur'an's revelation, and this is still more proof that the Qur'an is the word of God.

If you don't want believe it, then don't and ignore it.

Nope. I already covered this in detail. Even if it contains incredible information, that does not tell you where the information came from. That needs demonstrating too.

If I do a magic trick you can't explain, I don't get to say I did it by telekinesis.

This seems to be one of the last bastions of apologetics, particular Islam. I'm thinking of naming it:

The wow fallacy. If someone or something can suitably impress you, then you'll believe anything else it/they have to say.

As in: Wow! The author of this book has impressed me a lot with all these amazing facts, and it's hard for me to understand how he could have known them. Therefor, I'll believe without question his explanation as to where the facts came from. God, fine. Magic toad, fine. Temporal vortex, fine. Whatever he says is true.

Wow, that guy over there just walked on water! When he says he's an alien/human hybrid and he's 3,000 years old, I better believe him!

Wow, that guy said he was going to come back to life in 3 days, and he did! Therefor I'll believe anything he says about being the son of god and so on.

Sorry, doesn't work like that. Not for people who care about any sort of intellectual rigour, anyway. If you get to the stage where you will believe anything the book/person has to say, you will literally believe anything. See the problem?
