A question for athiests?

Question

I know how many atheists attack christianity, and christians attack islam, and etc. But you think of science as being the truth. Well in the quran, the big bang theory is pretty much written in it, it has the correct times for when/ how a baby develops in side of his or her mother, and it is scientifically correct about many other things. It was written over one thousand years ago, yet only now are scientists able to discover these things using modern technology. So what do you think about islam?

Here are some details as to how the creation of the universe is described in the quran:
When describing the creation of the "heavens and the earth," the Qur'an does not discount the theory of a "Big Bang" explosion at the start of it all. In fact, the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30). Following this big explosion, Allah "turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the earth: 'Come together, willingly or unwillingly.' They said: 'We come (together) in willing obedience'" (41:11). Thus the elements and what was to become the planets and stars began to cool, come together, and form into shape, following the natural laws that Allah established in the universe.

The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their own individual courses or orbits. "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies

celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course" (21:33).

The Qur'an also does not rule out the idea that the universe is continuing to expand. "The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are expanding it" (51:47). There has been some historical debate among Muslim scholars about the precise meaning of this verse, since knowledge of the universe's expansion was only recently discovered.

Answer 1

I'll think anything you want as long as you don't declare Jihad on my ***.

Answer 2

Oh really?

Please quote the verse where the moment of particle formation is discussed. This is very crucial because the ratio of hydrogen to helium greatly impacts the universe to follow. I'm surprised that the Q'uran accurately predicted the ratio. What was the number it gave, by the way?

Interesting additional details, but I see absolutely nothing there about a big bang. Come on already. Give me the verses where it describes the inflationary period, the differentiations of the fundamental forces - divisions between the strong and weak atomic forces, electromagnetism, etc. The plasma phase, and finally transparency.

The scientific theory accurately predicted the presence, character, and temperature of the cosmic background radiation before it was even detected. What does your book have going for it?

Answer 3

At one time the Arab world and the Roman Empire were about equal in the sciences. Then the insanity called Christianity took over and when Rome fell and the Church took over completely, eventually begetting the Dark Ages, all scientific research in Europe stopped. But it kept going in the Arab world. I'm not surprised the Arabic scholars were advanced enough to know such things or could guess them.

Still doens't mean that Islam (or any other religion) isn't just another batch of hocus-pocus mumbo-jumbo. The Aztec Empire knew more about astronomy than anyone else up until about the 17th Century - their calendar is the most accurate ever made. But they would cut open the chest of living sacrifices and rip out their heart to appease their gods.

Just another mythology.

Answer 4

Had you read the buddhist scriptures? It pretty much supersede christianity and islam and scientifically correct about many things too, does that mean christianity and islam are all bogus?

By the way, I had not read about the big bang theory from the Koran before, perhaps you can tell me where to find the verse. I do read about the part where the sun dunk into water over the horizon pretty much like what we do with Oreo cookies into milk though.

You want to read the Taoist scripture regarding that too?

A literal translation :

"The world was in chaos before time and all man kind"

"The world split itself into Yin and Yang, the light and darkness, the sun and the moon, the creation and destruction where it was split to the 4 looks and further split into the 8 paradigms ..... bla bla bla"

Answer 5

look further into scientific history, they new more than you are giving credit for. There has always been astronomers, doctors, and other scientists studying everything.......I still believe in no religion although I can admit that they could have put scientific truths in any of their religious guides as a part of their doctrine but it doesn't make the rest of the stuff they write truthful.

Answer 6

Being scientifically right does not make one spiritually right. Aristotle made an assertion about a round earth, that does not make whatever his religious beliefs were right.

Answer 7

It's just as false as all other religions. We don't believe in religions, gods, supernatural beings, heaven, hell or an afterlife, so why are you asking what we think of Islam?

Answer 8

Well for one, science is everywhere... It has been around since time began...

What makes fire?
What is water composed of?
etc...

They just didnt have terms for it until the recent few centuries...

Answer 9

I think you're lying. Muslims think that God created the universe 6000 years ago as well.

Answer 10

It is all so vague. It could be used to support any theory

Answer 11

I think it's a bunch of nonsense, like all other religions.
