That's quite a leap. You're reading an awful lot into that.Please note Quran verse 21:104 "
"The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records...."
I interpret "fold the heaven like the folding of a sheet" such as space being bent for wormholes". Maybe, I'm wrong about this, but how else could anybody interpret a folding of heaven like a sheet of paper?
A more logical response is that the author did not know that the Earth was a sphere. The educated population generally knew that the Earth was at least roughly spherical in shape, but that does not mean that everyone knew that. I do believe that Muhammad was supposed to be rather uneducated. This would seem to support that belief.Please note Quran verse 21:104 "

If so, so what?
It's the justification for science.
What's your justification for supernatural beliefs? That it feels good?
But what if the statements are supported? What if they're statements of logic? What if they're pointing out actual, logical errors in your reasoning?
Reality.The delayed choice quantum eraser experiment perhaps demonstrates a probability wave materializing into a particle upon an observer's knowledge of which path the probability wave/particle had traveled.
Does Consciousness Create Reality? Double Slit Experiment may show the Answer.
The fourth pillar of Islam, Ramadan fasting, can't be equally followed and adhered to by everybody in the world.A more logical response is that the author did not know that the Earth was a sphere. The educated population generally knew that the Earth was at least roughly spherical in shape, but that does not mean that everyone knew that. I do believe that Muhammad was supposed to be rather uneducated. This would seem to support that belief.

This is just more question begging and circular reasoning.Then you do not.look at the evidence offered.
It has been offered the proof of God is the Messenger, their life and the Message, in that order, which makes them One in God.
So be honest, how deep have you looked into that evidence?
I have looked and it seems like a reasonable response. I explained clearly what I meant and gave analogies to illustrate. You will also notice that I presented it in the form of questions, thus prompting you to clarify your position.You lost the context of the reply, go back and look at the comment I replied to.

No it didn't. It contains vague passages that modern apologists (mainly Harun Yahoo) reword, expand, extrapolate, reinterpret and stretch beyond breaking point to make these ridiculous and repeatedly debunked claims.Point being, the Holy Quran hypothesized the existence of wormholes,
If Allah was using the Quran to impart knowledge that was beyond the realms of 7th century discovery, why didn't he clearly reveal something useful, like boiling drinking water, rather than vague and arcane references to things that might not even exist?this being hypothesized nearly 1,200 years before modern era science hypothesized their existence; the Holy Quran had advanced knowledge of warped space, which may have been from advanced intelligence beyond the Earthly lifetime of the prophet Muhammad.
"Man making extraordinary claim claims his claim is reasonable" shock.Maxim Makukov refutes the notion of Wow signal of the terrestrial genetic code as simply being numerology.
".Hi, I'm one of the authors of the papers being discussed here (thanks for pointing out this discussion, Simone). Saying right off: I am not going to make war and press on changing anything in the wiki-article. I'll appreciate if the wiki-editors here will take my note into account; but if not - well, I can live with that, From the discussion here I see that the point is not whether our papers are ID or not (they are not; if that matters - I share entirely naturalistic worldview). Rather, the point is whether they are numerology or not. As I guess, this is a short way of saying that the data we described might be just the result of our arbitrary "juggling" until we found some "desired patterns". In our recent paper (mentioned here by the user Andy Shepp) we devote a good chunk of text to discussing this very point, so here I'll instead make a comparison between our study and the Bible Code (the comparison brought about by PZ Myers, I suppose). First - there is no any scientific hypothesis behind the Bible code (at least none that I've heard of. God? That's not a hypothesis, since the notion of God is notoriously ill-defined. Without such restriction, you are free to choose/invent any method you like for data analysis. In our case, we have the working hypothesis (that of Sagan and Crick & Orgel), and we attempt to develop analysis methodology appropriate for that hypothesis - the condition which greatly restricts the options (in particular, we are trying to follow similar basic logic that was used to construct Earth-made messages such as the Arecibo message, etc.). Second - the analogy with the Bible code is irrelevant simply from statistical standpoint. In one case the data (Bible) is millions of letters long - what a scope for opportunities. In another case, the data (genetic code) is only a few hundred bits. Next, the Bible is but one of many books ever written, while the genetic code is unique (with several minor variations). The Bible is written with a writing system which is itself completely arbitrary and is but one of many existing writing systems; in contrast, in our approach we do not rely in any way on arbitrary cultural codes, relying instead on the language of abstract logic and mathematics (yes, I know not everyone agrees that even mathematics might be useful for communication with another intelligent species; still, if you attempt to do that, first of all you'll most probalby resort to logic/mathematics, not Hebrew, right?). ----------- Of course, I by no means imply that our data unambiguously supports the hypothesis of Crick & Orgel. My point is that the data favors this hypothesis to the extent which makes it unreasonable to dismiss it as numerology just like the Bible code. As typically happens in such situations, the problem is that it is difficult to find an objective criterion for judging opinions and biases." - Maxim Makukov

What?!So far though, regardless of being godly or not, the first verses describes the big bang quite well.
Far in more detail for it to be a coincidence.
It does not prove god, but it is something worth examining further.
So you are now throwing probability out of the window when earlier it was the basis of your argument.Please let us agree that given two equally plausible explanations for a given phenomenon the one that makes the fewest assumptions is usually correct., this does not mean always correct. Right?
Yet more unsupported assumptions.I have God well pegged as being a sims controller, a reality based virtual reality programmer of human consciousness. There'd be nothing magical about a technologically advanced civilization , conducting an ancestral simulation by a super-computer. Likewise, there'd be nothing magical about a technologically advanced extra-terrestrial civilization simulating a universe for their amusement.
Honestly, I've done the same, I've made extraordinary conjectures I'd consider as being plausible explanations for the cause of an observed phenomenon. of unknown cause So, I'm not at all surprise others offer plausible explanations for explaining observed phenomenon of unknown causes."Man making extraordinary claim claims his claim is reasonable" shock.
Firstly, the word used in the Quran means "rolled", like a scroll, not folded.Correct, wormholes are hypothetical structures. I'm guessing negative energy would be required for traversable wormholes, negative energy is conjecture. I'm guessing the Holy Quran being somewhat vague about wormholes is because the Quran's original nomadic tribal audience would not have been able to comprehend a detailed model of a wormhole.

Yeah, that should work.
