Quote:The point here is not whether people were aware or not about burning sensation but it is about their perception of burning sensation. They perceived heart as pain receptor, which Quran has corrected by attracting their attentions towards the skin.Ancient people didn't believe the heart was a pain receptor, they didn't know what pain receptors were. They believed the heart was the central organ responsible for the sensation of pain, now we know the brain is the central organ which picks up signals from pain receptors in skin and other organs.
Quote: At this time, neither Aristotle nor Hippocrates believed that the brain had any role to play in pain processing but rather implicated the heart as the central organ for the sensation of pain.Here is a little piece from Wikipedia. What it's saying is they believed the heart is the organ responsible for pain processing, whereas we now know it's the brain, which is what I was saying in my previous reply to you.
The quran doesn't mention pain receptors, it doesn't mention the heart not being the central organ responsible for pain, it doesn't mention the brain being responsible, the one and ONLY thing the quran mentions as being responsible for pain is the repeated burning of skin.
As I have repeated many times now the only information given by the quran is that burning skin hurts, it's not a scientific discovery.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
