[Quranic Reflection]: The universe is expanding

So..... still no revelations about Pluto?

No wonder they don't call it a planet any more if even the Quran ignores it.

God told humanity about the truth of the cosmos in the Quran; that it is "expanding"; so we know that after Pluto there are billions of other planets beyond our reach. It's an expanding sky; after all, with God alone knowing its limit.

I find it strange that you expect the Quran to do your homework for you.

Weird, according to your last post it was the "sky/heaven" that was"expanding"

An interesting corollary to the universe expanding is that conversely, Winterhold's brain cells are diminishing.

Okay, lets get this straight.

You make the claim that your religious book has useful, valid scientific information but only AFTER science has done the 'Hard yards' of correlating all the actual evidence and data.

When asked about future, currently unverified information that science hopes to uncover you seem all;

"Nope! Figure that one out for your self!"

So, I ask again, what future predictions does your book make about science matters and is/are any of them about Pluto?

*Like the fact that further analysis of the images regarding said distant body determin that it coalesced 'Quickly' and hence was 'Hot' with a liquid interior for quite some time.

*See Phil Plait's latest "Bad Astronomy" post on 'Scyfi wire' for the proper/professional story.

Oh look! They've just scientifically verified the 'Penrose effect.

We're one step closer to turning black holes into (Effectivly) perpetual motion machines.

I'm hearing crickets again from the 'Quran corner'.....

We recently figured out how a dna-repairing enzyme performs it's function as a molecule. The insight into the difference between healthy cells and damaged cells, as well (and ofc) how that applies to cancer will be invaluable. We certainly could have used that information in 700ad, when magic book was dropping it's scientific miracles on our heads.

The Grand Spreader was too busy informing us that He is The One Who Spreads. I've never understood this nonsense from a believing muslim...and fwiw, islamic theologians don't get it either. If it were true, as they wish for us to believe, that magic book contains scientific miracles...that would only demonstrate that their god is a peerless monster.

It's not true, and it's largely the product of one man. A member of a wahhabist offshoot calling for a revival in sunni islam. Conveniently decrying sectarianism in islam while actually being a committed radical sectarian islamist. They've plastered this heretical filth all over the islamic world, and...as another poster noticed, they don't particularly care that they're telling people that magic book must change if science changes. That's because they don't intend to honor whatever ludicrous claim they made last when making the next.

No he didn't. Taqiyya!

OFC he's lying for big mo, islamists have taken to the same types of apologetics that christians have found success with, not just because they find themselves competing for souls in a zero sum game with christians, but also because dominionists and islamists both realize that science holds an authority that their religion has lost.

This has always been Winters schtick, here, and he's never strayed from those topics which his witch doctors have consistently groomed him on. If you read through the views of the movement that's produced the creature we see before us you'll only be even more disappointed in Winter, because none of his pet topics are even his own brand of crazy. Simply something that a radical sectarian has told him, subject for subject and word for word...that he repeats to us.
