surely this is only evidence of the diminishing powers of God? Back in the day he would move mountains, part seas, raise the dead, etc. Now all he can manage is the occasional appearance on vegetables and grilled cheese sandwiches
Maybe you should have a look at these mathematical miracles discovered thanks to modern computer technology and software: http://www.quranwonders.com/2009/10/03/endless-miracle-of-the-first-chapter
similar codes and messages have been gleaned from books like Moby Dick and the Lyrics of Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice (yes really) its bullshit
Dude.. Seriously? You gave me a chuckle. So for that you get a pat on the head. But if you believe in that, then it's time to put the book down and walk way from it.. slowly..
I guess you wanted to say "a three dressed up as a 19". Not sure maybe you are saying something else but the fact is that those huge numbers can ALL be divided by 19 perfectly. I have checked most of what is written there. 3 is prime and 19 is a prime number however it is only every 19 numbers that we would find a number that is divisible by 19. Far more unlikely than the three. Have you considered what that chapter says?, and the question is for everyone who replied...
Until you have made an equivalent analysis of other common literary works, this premise has no credibility.
I would have, if I did, but I don't, so I didn't. It means you are dressing up nonsense to look like something credible. It's complete garbage.
Q's response regarding the opening chapter of the Holy Quran. You are not willing to even discuss any aspect of that chapter. This in itself should be a red light. Maybe you should re-consider your convictions?! I recite that chapter 30 times a day and I have a strong belief in God. I can say it again that my belief in God has enriched all aspects of my life. I really cannot imagine living without the belief in Him any time in the future. The opening chapter so you don't need to look for the link: "In the name of God, The Compassionate, The Merciful; Praise be to God; the Cherisher and Sustainer of All Creation; The Compassionate, The Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and thine aid do we seek. Show us the straight way; The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose portion is not wrath, And who go not astray." Peace.
Good for you. Maybe your god only imparts the need for belief on people who need it, and those who don't need that belief to live a happy life, he doesn't give reason to believe. I mean, it's not like you can MAKE yourself believe something. That's just lying to yourself. And it's not like many atheists haven't heard all this stuff before. They just don't believe what you do. And it works for them. If god wanted to give me a reason for belief, he probably has an idea on how to do it, I would think. Being all-powerful and all that.
Of course you can't imagine living without your beliefs, it's the only thing you know. An entire world of knowledge and understanding sits perched right outside your doorstep, but you wouldn't even recognize it if it bit you in the ass. Pure garbage that rots the brain.
Why! One Qu'ran lasts as long as twenty bog rolls. it may cost a little more, but if you wish to laugh there's always something to read.
Amazing Scientology Miracles Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Ron Hubbard said Xenu came to earth in DC-12 airplanes. At the time, these were "high technology" and so most people thought: WOW Ron (PBUH) is a true Prophet. Mohammad said that honey can be used medicinally. At the time most Arabs thought: WOW this is amazing, Mohammad is a true Prophet. (little did they know that honey was a standard ration for dressing stab wounds carried by every army from the Romans to the ancient Chinese). To this day people think Ron and DC-10 prophecies were miraculous as well Mohammad and his honey "prophecy". When people are at this level of mental functioning, they often see the "sun" as evidence of *insert superstition* and have trouble speaking without also, on occasion, drooling on themselves - sad, but true :shrug:
