Splitting of the Moon
#71
RE: Splitting of the Moon
The incredible shrinking miracle.
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!

And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity the sea and the waves roaring. Luke 21:25

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. John 8:43

Interesting sentence in a magic book full of stories about miracles. A cynical person might say that it was constructed after the fact, and explicitly because there were no more miracles at the time of it's composition.

Or the "miracles" are not what they seem to be.

That's probably an understatement, yeah, lol.

Same with the Quran. Does it speak of miracles or is it a miracle.

They say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Allah hath certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not. Quran 6:37

It sounds to me like some level ones then became level threes:

The moon was split into two pieces while we were with the prophet in Mina. He said "Be witnesses" then a piece of the moon went towards the mountain.
Book 58 Hadith 209.

Sorry, but your sense free rationalisation shows that the moon splitting legend is itself senseless.

They swear their strongest oaths by Allah, that if a special sign came to them, by it they would believe. Say: "Certainly all signs are in the power of Allah: but what will make you realise that even if special signs came, they will not believe."? Quran 6:109
 
Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Quran for just foolish nonsense." Quran 25:30
Nay! he has come with the very Truth, and he confirms the message of the messengers before him. Quran 37:37

Mocked were many messengers before thee; but their scoffers were hemmed in by the thing that they mocked. Quran 6:10
 
The Prophet said, "Every prophet was given miracles because of which people believed, but what I have been given, is divine inspiration which Allah has revealed to me. So I hope that my followers will outnumber the followers of the other Prophets on the Day of Resurrection." Book 61, Hadith 504

Oh, joy.  Another case of using a holy book to prove the holy book is a holy book.  I'm so excited I could yawn.
