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.

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

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?

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.
