Amai, Unless you have read both the Bible and the Koran you are still in the learning stages and should be more receptive to the ideas of others. If you can try and keep an open mind - read on. You point out that Isaac Newton said "I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God” and then say “why would i believe in a book which has less evidence of being authentic?”

I agree with Newton but do you think Newton ever read the Koran? If he did I think he would say the same about It. You seem to imply that if Newton thinks the Bible is accurate then the Koran must be wrong. Has it ever occurred to you that they are both accurate?

After you read and compare the Bible and the Koran you will see there are no major contradictions. The minor contradictions can be caused by translation errors Mohammed believed the Bible. When you do some reading you will notice Islam, Judaism and the Christian religion are all based on the same religion. All three religions are based on the Old Testament. They are all the religions of Moses, Abraham, Joseph. The Koran and the Old Testament talk about the same events.

I strongly recommend reading the Koran, the Old Testament and the four gospels. Then you will see, the Koran, the Old Testament and the four gospels do not contradict each other. The big difference is how these religions view Jesus. Jews don’t acknowledge Jesus. Christians believe he and God are one and the same. Moslems are in the middle believing Jesus was a prophet.

If you read the 4 gospels of the New Testament you will see Jesus himself never considered himself the same as God. He would pray to God (What God would need to pray to himself). He often spoke of God as separate from him and Jesus never even claimed to know what God was thinking. For example when asked if the sons of Zebedee could sit at his right hand and his left when he ascends into heaven. He replied “That is not for me to decide but for God in heaven” Mathew 20:23 It was mainly Paul’s writings that portrayed Jesus and God as being the same. Paul wrote much of the New Testament. I think he was instrumental in starting Christianity as a religion.

You mention that Isaiah knew that the Earth was round. Yes that is true. Most people, even one thousand years before Jesus, believed the Earth was round. Round like a plate, that is, not round like a ball. There are a couple of references in the Old Testament to the Earth being round but I’m not familiar with the one you were talking about. Please let me know what passage you were referencing but I am willing to bet it didn’t explicitly say the Earth was spherical.
