I've never seen any proof of any gods existence, and if memory serves- you've already been given a hilarious example of an error in the quran (re: semen production).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.

Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

How about when God said in the Quran that the Universe is expanding

The best part about these Muslim "miracles" (and I guess it can apply to Christian ones as well with the Bible) is the fact that none of them are brought to light as being miraculous information until after science discovers them.
Muslims point to verses in the Qur'an that claim black holes, pulsars, expanding universe etc.... but where are the people who understood these for what they, supposedly, were before we've discovered them in relatively modern times?
That's not how scientific predictions work.
In science you predict a specific "thing".
If science made a prediction like the Qur'an or Bible, it would say "If the big bang theory is true, we should find stuff in the universe." Fast forward 60 years, we find stuff in the universe so the theory must be true.
Instead, in the 30s they said "If the big bang theory is valid, we should find background microwave radiation." See how specific that is? And at the time we had no way of checking if that were true or not, we didn't have the technology.
Fast forward 60 years, we have telescopes in orbit, we point them into space, and guess what? Lo and behold we find...... background microwave radiation!
You say the Qur'an describes these scientific "miracles"? OK, show me the people who had at least some general understanding of what they "predicted" before we actually discovered them.

(April 10, 2013 at 8:54 am)Muslim Scholar Wrote: For example God said in Quran that Earth is spherical in shape, at that time people thought it is flat ( but did not prove it) so they would have said that the Quran is wrong because it is saying it is a sphere
Bullshit on several counts.
Why do you ignore the many instances where the Quran says the Earth is spread out like a carpet?
Care to share with the forum the difference between an oblate spheroid (Earth) and a prolate spheroid (ostrich egg)?
And my favorite....
The Greeks knew the Earth was spherical over a 1000 years before your profit and the word of God hit the scene. In fact, in the third century BCE, Eratosthenes gave a reasonable calculation for the circumference of the Earth. Your God's precision and power of description are severely wanting even by ancient standards.

Translations of the Qu'ran prior to the discovery of the universe's expansion had quite different wording. Until the discovery, the verses were interpreted differently. Even if the Qu'ran was trying to convey that the universe was expanding, it failed in that as Muslims had nothing to say about an expanding universe until Western science discovered that was the case. A prediction that only makes sense in retrospect wasn't really a prediction at all.
