Muhammad was talking to people who lived fourteen centuries ago, they had no idea what "governments and corporations" would mean, had Muhammad used these terms. Muhammad's contemporaries know what herding and goats mean, they didn't know much about corporations and embassies. So the expression "barefoot destitute goat herds" merely refers to the geographical area where his prediction is supposed to happen, because, obviously, nobody builds things while barefoot.
It's really stupid to try and interpret the words "barefoot" and "destitute" literally, even more so when thay are attempts of translation from their more expressive equivalents in Arabic.

"Plague" in the Abrahamic mythologies meant "punishment for bad behavior." None of the language in antiquity demonstrated knowledge of DNA/RNA or evolutionary biology.

Right.
Swarms of insects are natural, wind picking objects and even animals depending on wind speed and weight of the species, also natural, just like viruses and bacteria are natural.
Theists wrongfully think when skeptics and or scientists call anything "natural" we mean good. In skeptic/science language we merely mean it is observable. Eartquakes, volcanos and black holes are all nasty things nobody wants affecting them, but there are very natural observations.

Turning the sky dark , Rivers of blood , Fuck raining frogs,Hail and Thunderstorms , Lice , none of these are Diseases . Let alone the Black Death . And even after Samuel gods still doing stuff like this .
And if Mo really wanted to impress he could have listed the symptoms and pointed out any number of the specific places the black death had already ravaged

"Rivers of blood" again, was language used to threaten punishment for not blindly obeying the claimed god.
I am certainly sure both war and natural disasters both produced dead animals and dead humans bleeding. Again, no magic needed to explain anything.
The sky turning dark, that too, imagine a thunderstorm blocking out the sun.
The other point about human ignorance in all of antiquity is that most humans were not world travelers, so anything bad that happened to them locally, humans saw that local location as the entirety of the world. Nobody knew back then how big the planet was or that it was a ball and not flat.
So if you saw a local flood, it is reasonable back then to confuse that natural local disaster as being global. And disaster mythology wasn't new to the religions of Abraham. The Epic of Gilgamesh is far older mythology that has him on a boat trying to save his family and livestock during a flood.
But yet, you don't find these same characters in plagues, pandemis or floods in say China. They have their own mythologies but not the same characters.

“How dare people interpret the book using the words that are in the book! Obviously it means something other than what it obviously means, or else it’d be wrong!” Because could not have simply described corporations as groups of wealthy merchants (which they are ) and Embases as foreigners or foreign traders which more accurate and oil (which most of the wealth is based on ) Was known and used since ancient times .And nothing about theses descriptions are geographical exclusive as say actually naming something specefic in that general region
Quote:Calm down, pal. Muhammad said the plague doesn't happen in Medina, and guess what ? It really doesn't happen. The end. Credits to Muhammad, shame on atheists.
A Plague has happened in Medina according to a alid definition of the word . Shame on Apologists
Quote:I didn't claim Muhammad had some "modern understanding", he knew no more than any other man in his time, and the content of what's purpotedly revealed to him, which deals mostly with theology and social issues. And the few things - quite a lot actually if we take both the qur'an and the hadiths into account - were free from error, and some of them are quite impressive, such as the ones cited in this thread.
None of them are impressive
Quote:And one more thing, there is no "mixing science with religion" involved, Muhammad predicted that certain events won't happen, like the plague entering Medina, this is not really science.
Which according to a totally valid definition of the word Plague was wrong
"Change was inevitable"

So what..? This doesn't explain away these prophecies. Why would someone who knows he's lying pinpoint one city and predict the plague doesn't enter it? Why would he even think of telling this ?
