The Qur'an doesn't say anywhere that the Earth is static. You can notice that this guy didn't mention any specific verse to back up his claims.

Quote:The Qur'an clearly agrees with the Bible about the pharaoh's storyAgreeing with the christian or jewish magic book isn't the same thing as something being historically accurate. Neither of their magic books are historically accurate either.
And..again, it was never a secret that pharaohs claimed to be divine. It was an organizing principle of their society, a society which persisted for thousands of years; shaping, influencing and communicating with every other culture in the region.
You probably need a better example. If you don't have one, you don't have a miracle here, or djinn, or even a particularly wise mans sayings.
Well, the Qur'an is a bit more specific than that, the egyptian pharaoh said, verbatim, that he was the Lord, most high in person, that's more than just the claim of divine nature or divine inspiration. Besides, there are many egyptian deities that were widely worshipped, you might be familiar with the names Ra, Amun, Isis, Anubis, etc. Although I am no expert in ancient egypt, it seems that none of these deities were actual pharaohs, but simply mythological creations, some of which were represented in human form. What does that do to the pharaoh's claim being the highest God?
And sure, I am not claiming there is some miracle in this verse, just that Muhammad is taking an unnecssary risk delving into ancient egyptian history.

Well, nobody wrote the Qur'an. it's an orally recited book, to be precise. Do you think it wasn't Muhammad who recited the book?

I am not sure I follow. Do you mean you reject the Qur'an as a possible candidate for a divinely inspied book? If so, why.. exactly?
