The following statement is true:
"On the day in question X did not know the first law of thermodynamics"
The first law of thermodynamics ("FLT") says that you can neither create nor destroy energy.
Which of the following statements is true:
1. X did not know what that the FLT said but knew that you can neither create nor destroy energy.
2. X neither knew what the FLT said nor knew that you could neither create nor destroy energy
3. X knew both what the FLT said and that you could neither create nor destroy energy.
Does this not show that even if uphold that the whole of the Bible or the Quran is literally true there still exist many possible interpretations. Just as in my example the statement is true - but it does not bring you knowledge, you cannot distinguish between the possible interpretations.

First of all, transliterate this into coherent English.
Second of all, when you find the theory of entropy in those holy books, you let me know.

An interesting concept only if
a) your original statement WAS true
b) your interpretations 1, 2 & 3 were based upon the original hypothesis
c) That the Bible and Quran were scientific journals and not (repudedly) history books/journals and were open to interpretation of the theories and philosophies listed

We can rely on the Holy Books revealed by the Messengers of God and the divinely appointed Interpreters.
Although many deviations have occurred through time, the essence of religion still remains unchanged. So, the true believers know which ideas are to be accepted as authentic.

I think they would probably go with X created energy and then as a prelogue to the 10 commandement wrote the laws of thermodynamics.

Someone else wanting to equal themselves with being able to understand the Creator. Do you realize that you could take the brain power of every person and living thing that has ever been or ever will be, put them together, and only be a speck of what His is???
And then scientists and the like think they can actually answer things with THEIR theories that do not apply to Him. He is not human. He is a spirit. He is not limited. If He were to tell us what He knew, we wouldn't be able to comprehend it anyway.
I want some of these smart guys that have all the answers to make me some dirt. Just a simple grain of it. Nothing synthetic, no, the REAL stuff. Make it and show me how smart the world is!

Friend it doesn't take a rocket sciencetist to understand scriptures, It only takes the Holy Ghost, therefore you should leave your scientific ideals at home.

That the problem with misinterpretation, it is how I see the words, filtered though what I know, to come to the conclusion I possess
