Who is the best poster on here?

RE: Who is the best poster on here?
Quote:But it's evidence. A king saw the moon split. I read it off a reliable Islamic site and showed everyone where I got the information from. Listen, if it was Muhammad's (peace be upon him) companion who saw it, I wouldn't class that as evidence. However, a King living in a different country saw the moon split. Look at tihs picture for evidence that it REALLY did split; http://www.flickr.com/photos/72726964@N00/304727677/

Evidence. Right.

I see I come back after nearly a week just in time for a few more nutters to join.

Instead of laughing, why not bring a professional rebuttal?

Zakir, you've been over this countless times. Eyewitness accounts of events centuries in the past do not constitute evidence! Believe me, I'm a physicist and if I submitted a report or experiment proclaiming extraordinary results with the kind of evidence you've supplied I would be laughed out of the laboratory, or worse looking for a new job!
The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true - Carl Sagan

Because I highly suspect you've been rebutted on your other thread, which I have no inclination to sour my brain with tonight.

Because you believe a photograph off Flickr, which is not a scientifically sanctioned website.

Because there is no "reliable Islamic site" any more than there is a reliable Jewish one when it comes to things that have a scientific basis.

And because I'm one of those consistent members and laughter at utter bullshit is one of my more endearing consistencies.

Fine. Why would Muhamamd (Peace be upon him) lie about something like that? He was known for his honesty but why would he make such a absurd claim.

For me, it is evidence. The Quran is different from any other book. Which book predicts it's own preservation? which book can be memorised so easily by millions around the world? I'll tell you which book. God's word.

I memorized many portions of Unmasqued: An Erotic Novel of The Phantom of The Opera pretty easily. I suspect it has something to do with repetitious readings rather than some magical easy of memory, but I further suspect the Quran isn't NEARLY as interesting.

Everyone who has ever worshipped a deity has made the same claim Zakir. That's why we don't take it, or you, seriously, it's like discussing which soda is the best. Everyone with an opinion thinks their brand is unique, and it isn't.

This is a thread failure btw.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon

RE: Who is the best poster on here?
I'm not going to start arguing with you as your claims have been demolished dozens of times in your first thread so it would just be going round in circles. I find trying to argue with the devoutly religious (which I count you as) a lesson in futility as our ideas on what constitutes evidence seem polar opposites.

As a scientist I am telling you that your evidence would not be accepted by the scientific community because there are too may unverifiable claims. So please can you just accept that?

RE: Who is the best poster on here?
Can everyone please discuss this thread. This thread isn't about the Holy Quran. If you want discuss the Quran or Islam then please go to the Islam board.

Thank you.
