what kind of sign or proof would you like/expect to see in holy book like Quran to make you believe in God..
p / s : i am new, this question might have been raised before. If it is, then I am sorry.
I don't believe god would use a book. I suppose If god were to make a book it would be made out of something more durable than paper. God would use magic so that it could be read by everyone of all languages, and he would use magic so the texts could never be distorted by mankind.
I think god could benefit much more by manipulating the internet to get his message across, if any religious person finds that thought ridiculous lets not forget writing is a technology, the existence of a sacred book is no more or less ridiculous than the thought of the sacred computer program, sacred website, sacred kindle or sacred applemac.
With regards to what would make me believe in god, its like asking me can something come from nothing, I don't know because I've never seen nothing, I don't know what divine would be because I don't believe I've ever seen anything divine.
Now muslims think the quran is divine, everytime I've asked a muslim why it's because of the scientific miracles within the quran and how it couldn't have been written by anyone else because it's so beautiful. I can't speak arabic so I don't have a clue how well written the quran is supposed to be. So then I would ask what scientific contributions has the quran made to society? I don't know of any.
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.
