Answer 1

When you have the best, you should have the confidence too. Your efforts to convince rest of the world shows that there is something misguiding in it. If God is almighty, can you not trust in Him?

Answer 2

Some Muslims say the Qur’an contains scientific truth about the orbits of the sun, moon, (and sometimes planets). I was interested in investigating this, and we will take a few twists and turns before arriving at a conclusion. But the bottom line is: unless a Muslim viewed these verses as the language of appearance, these verses would disprove, not prove the scientific accuracy of the Qur’an.

Sura 36:37-40 says, "And a sign for them is the night: We withdraw there from the day, and behold they are plunged in darkness; 38 and the sun runs its course for a period determined for it; that is the decree of (him), the exalted in might, the all-knowing. 39 And the moon-we have measured for it mansions (to traverse) till it returns like the old (and withered) Lower part of a date stalk. (40) It is not permitted to the sun to catch up the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to law)." (Yusuf Ali’s translation, original edition). [Words in parenthesis are in parenthesis in the translation.]

Some Muslims point out "the sun runs its course for a period determined for it" and the word "orbit" at the end. However, we cannot make too much of the sun’s "orbit" because Yusuf Ali’s translation has a footnote (17) on that word saying "circuit, course". Furthermore, the revised edition of Yusuf Ali says "resting place" instead of "period".

Answer 3

Then I guess the Pyramids of Egypt, which are set up according to certain constellations and the rising and setting of the sun, is proof of Osiris & Horus?

I love this kind of proof... it just confirms the Pagan beliefs even more.

whynotaskdon has given you the most repeated answer available and yet refuted many many times.

Answer to your question is my friend, for some people one sign is enough and for some 1000 are not enough.
