Quote:Feel free to assert anything you like, you didn't give any good explanation of why Muhammad curiously gets things right? Your only answer was that we argue from incredulity.. not really, we're just trying to find the best explanation of the Qur'an. Is it really difficult to understand that, assuming a God who's willing to communicate with us exists, the Qur'an, and also the original OT/NT, are his words verbatim, that all the noise surrounding these books is the product of people's free will and their ability to corrupt God's message or to communicate it unclearly, and nothing more?Here again, are either of us pretending that my pointing out the wrong things you still somehow believe to have been right will be useful?
You don't really believe that you could be argued out of your or those beliefs...do you?
Would it be a problem if some person argued from incredulity, would you object to that? My answer was demonstrably -not- that we argue from incredulity, as my entire post stands testament to. That's what you argued. That's the only thing, apparently, that you can imagine - or at least you declared that it must be so - in point of fact. That's all that you allow in reality. Is that a problem? I don't think that big mo got anything accidentally right, with or without the help of djinn. Its not that I can't believe he got so much right - that it's miraculous (that's you, again - I'm not the one who believes that the book is magic...remember?) - It's that I know he got so much wrong, and why.
That's basic information asymmetry between a cultist like yourself, and me. A different position to the one you described as the only position "under atheism".
Do you understand? Not, do you agree. Do...you...understand...?
