Dr. Lincoln's personal religious beliefs are his own business; he certainly doesn't condemn or disparage atheism.

Every time I find a verse in the Quran that applies to scientific concepts that we newly discovered in this age only, I have to share it. It is not due to my lack of belief; but it is due to the simple reminding that the Quran is the truth.

Look at this verse and you'll understand:


Quote:Sura 3, The Quran:
https://quran.com/3?startingVerse=191

(191)˹They are˺ those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth ˹and pray˺, “Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the torment of the Fire.

Could you point out where the Principle of Inertia can be found in the Quran?

The Quranic inertia principle:    people smart enough to ignore the Quran stays smart.    people stupid enough to become beholden to the Quran stays stupid.

Every thread by wh can be summed up by this meme

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Man you are dense. You have been repeating this for years. Saying the earth is flat 1 billion times does not make the earth flat.

Neither the Koran, or Bible, or Torah or Talmud, not Buddhist writings, not Hindu writings, or ancient Mayan writings constitute modern scientific knowledge. None of those things are science textbooks. 

You are wrong in trying to retrofit science to your old mythology as much as any other religious apologist who does it for another religion.

Funny how nobody figured out some fact of nature by reading the Quran before science figured it out.

RE: [Quranic reflection]: The Big Bang theory in the Quran.
There are very few verses in scriptures that can't be shoehorned into a scientific theory.  Scriptures are notoriously vague and generally useless for practical applications of the things they allegedly discovered.

I'm amused that religious people continue to play this game - it actually undermines their position.  Think of it this way:  A scientist (usually of a different belief, or none) has succeeded in explaining a natural principle better than a god.   Hehe
