Atheism vs. the Quran

[Lethe]

Everyone is made of recycled stardust. Even Carl Sagan used to say that we are all "star stuff." And this could be the dust that the Quran is speaking of.

2. The word "alaqa" can be used for anything which has a sticky property.

Grasping at straws much? You're beginning to adopt the techniques of astrologists. If a passage is made vague enough, accurate interpretations become an impossibility because they don't exist.

1. How do you know that he was undoubtedly familiar with miscarriages? Are there any such reports from his wives, companions, or anyone else?

And that's in the westernized 21st century.

2. And it's not incorrect because the word "alaqa" doesn't mean a clot of blood, but anything which is sticky.

Just my point.

Yes, a zygote is made from a sperm and an egg. And the Quran doesn't contradict that, because the word "nutfa" simply means a "small amount of fluid" or a "drop of water." So, it could be referring to the sperm, egg, or both. This is supported by another verse in the Quran, which refers to the nutfa as a combination, or a mingling (amshaj), of two or more different things. From this, we know that the word "nutfah" is not referring to the sperm alone.

I could just as easily interpret Chomsky's "colorless green ideas sleep furiously" as "abstract environmentally friendly concepts are lying in wait for application", it must have been a prophecy.

That is not a conclusive argument at all.

Not an argument, just answering your question.

There are many differences between the Greek writings and the Quran.

Different writers, same concepts, same misguided information.

And a Muslim response: http://www.answering-christianity.com/na...yology.htm

These articles didn't address the content similarities at all, they merely danced around and proclaimed the Quran was more poetic. Claims not refuted in the least.

Is their anyway statement that he was "known" liar? I mean, was anyone ever able to prove this? Was he ever caught to be lying?

You just asked if his followers would obey his commands if he had been revealed as a liar.
