At work.

Hi AtlassS33!

So.... Are there any bits of the Quran that are currently just hypotheses?

If so, what is being done to test such ideas?

Cheers.

Did it ever occur that what you are doing is the most lousy reasoning possible?
"Hey, science found out something, and i am *massaging* my favourite ancient text in a way that said text seems to say what i already know". The reality is, when you look at whats written, it does say nothing, ab-so-fuck-ing-lutely-nothing about higgs bosons.

Its like a rorschach test. Quran paints an ink-blob, you look at it and tell us its a higgs boson. It is not. You thought of a Higgs boson and thats what you see in the Quran.
Quite helpful that your text is so ambiguous and erratic, that fucking any-thing-possible can be interpreted into it. You claim that what science found out is what your text always was trying to tell us? PROVE IT.

Not just that, but Atlass as a Muslim is doing the same thing Jews and Hindus and Buddhists and Christians do. When they cant flat out argue their holy writings, they try to debunk science, then when they cant do that, they try to retrofit modern science to their old mythology.

If it worked like that then everyone should believe in the polytheism of ancient Greece because they coined the word "atom" or "atomos" meaning "uncuttable".
But back then the ancient Greeks had no idea what an electron, proton, neutron, or quark was, much less the Higgs-Boson particle was.

Christians and Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Jews today, quite often have members whom try to get modern scientific knowledge to prop up old mythology.

Atlas, you're reading something into the passages that simply is not there. At least I see none of what you're saying.

As I said in my prior posts, every religion worldwide has followers/apologists who do this.

<snipping the quranic science bullshit>

Do you know where the "god" particle name comes from?

Of course you don't, because it puts the lie to your bullshit.

Scientists called the Higgs Boson the "goddamned" particle, because a) it's existence was so central to the standard model and b) it was so goddamned hard to prove existence of it. A christian newspaper editor, thinking he could see a way to prove god, decided to drop the damned bit and talked it up as a divine spark.

Not the first time theists have twisted words scientist use.

Nothing lasts in here, that points to something.

No, it doesn't. It doesn't point to anything at all. Your desires do, but your desires and the world are not the same.

A determined person could "prove" a romance novel was divinely-inspired using that technique.
