[Quranic Reflection]: The universe is expanding

[The Grand Nudger]

OFC it doesn't. What it does is give people a large body of text to squint at, in just the right light, and assuming that their current understanding of some natural phenomenon is true and will never be revised.......

[WinterHold]

No. Jumping from your previous point which was about Pluto -or Frudo- to convert the Quran into an article about Nostradamus will not work as an argument.

Again I repeat my original argument:



Thank you.

The reader can see how a very simple "Quranic verse" was met by demands of prediction; which proves the type of mentality I'm confronted with.

Yes.... again, we've gone over this multiple time now.

I understand the ideas you are presenting.

It appears you are not understanding the words I am typing.

Forget about my previous posts regarding science, ignore my previous posts involving astronomy.

Please read my following lines carefully;

      "What future predictions does your book make about science?"

In your next reply to me (If any) please acknowledge you understand the words highlighted above.

Cheers.

Not at work.

Sadly we can't go over it for the third time.
The point I made it clear; please answer the OP.

Cheers to you.

You obviously don't want anyone responding to your OP. This is evidenced by the fact that you refuse to accept all of these responses to your OP.

Here's a protip. If you don't want to hear any of our input, don't make the fuckin thread? You can jerk it in private, can't you?

Your OP is stating that your Quran predicted something later pointed out by science.

Am I correct in my summation of your words?

Do I have your position correct?

Not at work.

The older statement is the Quran's.
The newer statement is Hubble's law.

That's the whole point of my post; the Quran already said loud and clear that the universe is expanding before Hubble was even born.

[The Grand Nudger]

It didn't, but that is what you believe, and peeblo has your position down exactly. So, let's see some future scientific miracles.

I want to know what sort of thing you might demand that your god get wrong like a know-nothing asshole.

Very good.

I have demonstrated that I understand your OP.

Do you understnd my question?

[Mister Agenda]

Or show us an English translation of the Quran from before 1929 that says 'expand'. That would be something, at least.

[The Grand Nudger]

It's strange that scientific miracle peddlers alter their unalterable text to make it agree with whatever they think the current scientific understanding is, but never alter their unalterable text when the scientific miracle turns out to have been wrong.

[The Architect Of Fate]

And even weirder more than one holy book does this apparently

Several prominent modern scientists have remarked that Hinduism (and also Buddhism and Jainism by extension as all three faiths share most of these philosophies) is the only religion (or civilization) in all of recorded history, that has timescales and theories in astronomy (cosmology), that appear to correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology, e.g. Carl Sagan,[21] Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg,[22][23][24] Robert Oppenheimer,[25] George Sudarshan,[26] Fritjof Capra[27] etc.

 
Christians make the same claims about this passage 

He sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers, he stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out, as a tent to dwell in” (Geneva Bible).
