Establishing the Creator (Atheist runs away when Muslim asks probing questions)

it would be like as you said if it's fake claims, but if it's true i think it should be considered
And how do you go about demonstrating that it is true? Every example that has ever been brought up has been based on wildly interpreting a series of vague passages.

it's sense i think, let's think if NASA organisation is islamic and they said the moon was splitted as the Quran said what would be the people's reaction?? People will say NASA said that to make propaganda for Islam but if NASA isn't a Muslim and said that then this would add more credibility to the event isn't it?

...that doesn't make any sense. NASA didn't exist in Muslim Arabia.

Wow, Islam is taking credit for NASA now! Oy vey!

No, one person who happens to be Islamic is using his religion to take credit from some extremely hardworking people. While it happens all the time, let's avoid such a rash generalization. :)

Whether there is a Creator or not

would you consider the Quran as evidence ?

The Quran contains many concrete statements relating to science as many of the statements mentioned have only been discovered recently by scientists whereas the Quran contained such information over 1400 years ago when there was no technology available.

Would you consider Darwins book and Richard Dawkins book as evidence ?

the arabic scientists didn't need to release the information as that is what the Prophet Muhammad PBUH propagated around the world during his prophecy.

Surely if you are in doubt about the Quran not stating any evidential facts then you should certainly analyze the Quran first.


If we have mutually agreed that we are going to adopt scientific evidence as the basis for establishing the existence of a Creator you need to inform us what kind of evidence will satisfy you of the existence of the Creator.
It seems that the theme of thread is "First you have to believe. Then try and disprove the belief. Until then, the belief is true."

i said IF, you know what IF means !

I know what if means. But it's a hypothetical that cannot be applied, because it's completely irrelevant. If NASA were an Islamic organization, it would be identical to the actual NASA in virtually every way if it were to maintain the same credibility. Being virtually identical, it would be just as trustworthy as it actually is.

When I said that NASA didn't exist in Muslim Arabia, I mean that back then, if the information we have now via technology was available via the Qur'an, then their cosmology would have been identical to our current theories. So far, it would appear that their cosmology followed the Ptolemic model, instead.

for sure, but in case it says something matched with the quran, people will have doubt about it as they may think it;s Islamic propaganda, you got what i meant?

Why would they?

If they were able to back it up with evidence, whether it's in the Qur'an or not would be irrelevant.

What it is is magical thinking. There are a lot of sentences in any book. If you go and decide a book is magic, and says everything we will ever need to know about life, the universe and everything, you will be able to find a sentence in your magic book that can be interpreted in such a way as to "predict" pretty much any discovery.

One day you should pick another book and give it a try. Or just get me to do it for you. The closest book I have to hand is the 4th book in the wheel of time series. Name me any scientific discovery since 1991 (the publication date) and I bet I can show that this book already "predicted" it.

Non-magical thinking would be, if any compelling evidence exists that leads to a specific conclusion, it is completely irrelevant whether or not anything similar to it has ever been written in a book. It is true either way, and the book is still just a book either way.

Anyone notice how DunyaDawah hasn't responded since he agreed to present scientific findings of the Creator?

Just thought I'd point that out.
