Quranic Miracles

[Khairan]

Correct me if I am wrong bc I am alot but I think the whole point of this thread was to point out interesting aspects of the Qur'an that would make any rational mind stop and pause. How a desert illiterate knew that mountains extended deep into the earth, how this illiterate knew the stages of microscopic embryological development, how he knew 1400 years ago what has only just been "discovered" in the Western world in the last one to two hundred years should provoke some reflection on exactly what kind of book the Qur'an is.
<b>I do not believe (insert correction here) that anyone on this board would claim that they believe in the Qur'an solely because of the scientific aspects of it. </b> But this aspect can serve to strengthen what already exists.

Oh, I'm not suggesting anything of the kind. However, I do think the above is good advice -- it certainly cast the Qur'an/science debate issue in a new light for me when I first read it. The quote is not about why YOU believe in the Qur'an or Islam, but a reminder of how one ought to think when discussing the science in the Qur'an with an unbeliever.
