What does that prove? I can remember the colors for 568B standard for Cat5e by sight!
It is one out of many wonders in Quran
Can you mention just one book that can be remembered by sound?
It is not only Arabs, a person who doesn't understands or speaks Arabic, can remember 600 pages of texts is a miracle.

That is utter and horrible bullshit. That is not a miracle.

Miracle is not something you practice over and over.

All that means is that there's a few isolated errors here and there, it's barely significant. I mean it's not like having a contradicting account or something.
Thanks for the sincerity!
Before we go to other major fallacies.

Now, how do you know that other "Major" statements in the bible are true or false?

The Quran came after the Bible. That is HISTORICAL fact.

Both books are fairy tales.
We will talk about Quran later
Don't be a troll and stick to the subject.


Why?

Are you able to prove that the Sun sets into a pool of water on the earth?

THe Koran is nothing more than an another set of human created myth and legend - and belongs in the same category as the bible - Religious MYTH - and the idea that YOU can identify the bible to contain errors BUT you cannot find any in the Quran is Humerous

Miracle or not, you have yet to demonstrate what benefit is derived from memorizing 600 pages of text, Quran or other.

What a complete waste of fucking time.

Which doesn't help at all since it was horseshit to begin with.

I'm going to prove my divinity by predicting...... "No."

I'm right because I'm a Goddess. You'll see.

While I can get behind the idea of multiple tiers in heaven (not everyone is the same amount of "good" just as not everyone is the same amount of "evil"), it seems odd to tie it to something so arbitrary. It also makes you wonder just how different these levels are. How many verses are there in the Koran? Around 6,236? So there are 6,236 levels in heaven?

Is there a discernible difference between level 5,540 and 5,541? Or 5,540 and 5,718? What level do you end up in if you memorized 2,340 of them but you mispronounced a word in three of them? What if you were a devout and faithful Muslim but never learned to read? Do you get stuck on level 1, while the person who wasn't nearly as devout gets to level 107 because he occasionally memorized a passage in spite of himself?

It makes Islam sound like an MMORPG.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
