[Quranic Reflection]: Water came from space as NASA said

[WinterHold]

"mud paddle" QFT

I corrected it from "paddle -which is wrong-" to "puddle" which is true.
Thank you, Sama.

'Water comes from the sky' means that Arabs saw rain.

'Iron comes from the sky' means that Arabs knew about meteoric iron.

*yawn*

I said here why I have a problem with this interpretation:

The context and the literal words do not point to rain in OP's verses; but point to water falling from the sky.
The same is for Iron.

So, rain doesn't qualify as 'water falling from the sky'.  Got it.

The sentence used doesn't refer to rain but refers to "water falling from the sky".

"Water falling from the sky" includes a wide range of possibilities like "comets loaded with ice" and "just rain".
To identify the possibility meant, you trace the "context"; the context would tell you which of the "possibilities" is truly meant.

So it could mean either comets or rain.  Imma go with 'rain'.

H and 2 O came from the tears of the magic crocodile that cradles Earth ever so lovingly between its jaws.

I thought they came from all the moments that are lost, in time.

No. You "check the context", then you can identify which meaning was meant from the "wide range of possibilities".

Can't really be arsed to do that.  When I'm presented with a book from the 7th century that lays claim to scientific knowledge derived from a Magic Sky Daddy, possible explanations leap to mind.  The most likely one is that the person making the claim is doing so out of the misguided (but understandable) desire to show that his magic book is the BEST magic book.

Is it possible that Allah was responsible for comets bringing water to Earth.  Sure it is.  Is it more or less likely that the agency involved is celestial mechanics and collision mathematics?  More.

No, just a different wrong.

Are Atlas and Mystic cut from the same thawb?

No. I'm not seeing any common theme between me and him. Instead of trying to shut me up by throwing him against me, it's better for you to reply to the OP if you respect yourself. Reply to the idea to see the difference.

Ye both love ignorant bullshit. That's a pretty big common theme.

No. I believe that we all die. Then after a long sleep we will rise again. Then we will be judged by God for every action we did; and then either be guided to hell, or be guided to paradise.

Don't let the medieval image be your way to picture that day. But let the current images of space telescopes be your way to image that day.

So many stars can be "the hell". So many planets can be "the paradise".
Just like the first Big Bang happened; another can happen.

That's why I'm calling people to the Quran.
