But the point is this, was prohibited over three thousand years ago
and recently they found out that the pig contains tricnossis which
is harmfull how would any human being known that at that time?
That's not actually the point the interview was making;
Bob: The medical sciences find that there is a risk for various diseases as the pig is found to be a host for many parasites and potential diseases.
Yunus: Yes, even apart from that ....as we talked about uric acid content in the blood.....it is important to note that the pig's biochemistry excretes only 2% of its total uric acid content...... the remaining 98% remains as an integral part of the body. This explains the high rate of Rheumatism found in those who consume pork.
As far as how any one would know there was a connection between eating pork and certain diseases prior to scientific verification; the ancient agricultural peoples were much more in tune with the the way the different elements and events of their world interacted and effected each other. They had to be.
It wouldn't take a sceintist or a prophet to notice that, say, everytime someone ate pork, they get sick.
I think there are some thought provoking points made here and there in your article. The pork reference isn't one of them however.
Im sad not one sensible response.
I think the problem lies partly in the way this was presented; "WOW proof this book is from God" doesn't invite discussion so much as refutation.
The other weakness is in the article itself.
Like I said, there are, IMO, some thought provoking points, things that might be worth discussing, exp;
Bob: That is correct.....this phenomenon is observed at various locations......for example the region where the Nile river meets with the Mediterranean sea and more especially in the Gulf stream where these two bodies of water flow together for thousands of kilometres.
Yunus: In chapter 25, verse 53 it reads, ....... "God is the one that has let free two seas, one is sweet and palatable and the other is salty and bitter. He placed an unseen barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to pass". A similar message is given in chapter 55, verses 19 and 20, "He has loosed the two seas. They meet together. Between them there is an unseen barrier which they do not transgress........"
But Yunus keeps takes away from whatever credibility they might lend his case by presenting vague speculations about possible interpretations as if they were definitive...
Yunus: Further in chapter 39, verse 5, it says, "He coils the night upon the day and he coils the day upon the night." The word used in the original arabic text is "Kaw'wara" which means coils or winds, the significance of this verb is that you usually coil something around a rather spherical object. You say that this fact was discovered recently, well relatively recently, who could have mentioned this in the Holy Quraan over
1400 years ago ?
Confusing terms..
Yunus: Well, this is nothing new to the muslim for it is revealed in the Holy Quraan in chapter 21, verse 33, "(God is) the One who created the night, the day, the Sun and the Moon, each one spinning around its own axis (travelling in an orbit)".
(orbiting and rotating are two different propositions alltogether)
And doing quite a few other things that apologists usually do in the course of presenting propaganda.
Also I get the sense that the interviewer is a shill, ie, someone who's already sympathetic to the subjects veiws. His questions are leading and he's not challenging the answers.
Basically, the whole thing insults the readers intellegence, which isn't going to gain any sympathy for your veiwpoints from anyone who doesn't already share them.
