Type 2 diabetes and thyroid issues are linked as well as treatment of it. Studies have proven this

You expected a number you did not actually voice. You unstated expectation is not an excuse. You could do your own research on the Tang dynasty if you wanted to. However you can not be bothered to challenge your bias and religious rhetoric.

The idea of the universe from nothing is a theist strawman. Your question has no merit.





You confuse black holes with the proposed, but not proven, singularity prior to the Big Bang and inflation period. You also confuse the Big Bang with the start of the universe when it is the start of inflation.

Thanks for identifying the scans, I can't read Arabic.

Just for clarification though, there were 2 older manuscript sheets stored amongst a larger number of newer manuscript sheets. They look similar though, that is why the older text was undiscovered for so long. The 2 older sheets were thought to be the same age as the rest of the manuscript until what was just discovered.

The 2 that were potentially dated as the 'oldest Quran' related to parts of Surahs 18-20 Al-Kahf, Maryam and Ta-Ha.

Some scans relate to the 'newer' manuscript pages that are still ancient but not considered part of the 'oldest Quran'.

Instead of face palming all the time you could do something constructive and show Shad why they are wrong. But you probably can't even do that.

Why i have to waste my time for such nonsense, he said that Zhen Qian treated diabetes by the thyroid extracts which is
absolutely wrong as he treated goiter by the thyroid extract and not diabetes, but instead that he accepts his mistake he said
that i speak with no knowledge and that better for me not to speak at all.

At least Shad has bothered to furnish you with links showing a reliable connection between type 2 diabetes and thyroid problems. Or do you think you know better than the American Diabetes Association on the subject of diabetes? What have you offered to prove him wrong? Nothing at all but empty claims. Same goes for your rather facile responses to Shad's explanation of the difference between a black hole and the state of the Universe pre-Big Bang.

As i said to you such discussion will be a waste of time, actually the type 2 diabetes patients have a higher prevalence of thyroid disorders
and his links has nothing to do with his wrong idea that the thyroid extract is used to treat diabetes.

"Consisting of two parchment leaves, the Qur’an manuscript contains parts of Suras (chapters) 18 to 20, written with ink in an early form of Arabic script known as Hijazi. For many years, the manuscript had been misbound with leaves of a similar Qur’an manuscript, which is datable to the late seventh century."

I am waiting for your further input, or I will write something about inner evidence of the verses of the manuscript.

"And do not say, regarding anything, 'I am going to do that tomorrow,' (23)but only, 'If God will'; and mention thy Lord, when thou forgettest, and say, 'It may be that my Lord will guide me unto something nearer to rectitude than this.')"

Apparently God willed that people should start talking about black holes and type 2 diabetes so I sort of lost interest in the thread.

I can't even remember what i was saying earlier on except talking about the late antique context of some of the material. Al-Kahf and Maryam contain some of the clearest examples of the Quran reflecting the environment of Arabia in late antiquity.

What is it that you wish to discuss?

Ultimate your point is irrelevant as you focus on my mistake in order to ignore the man did do something for the world. His treatment is still used today. His treatment was develop centuries before anyone else figured it out. In the end I could still name a person that had an impact on the world even if I got the details wrong.

Also take note that you can do your own research so at anytime you could have researched the Tang dynasty yourself. Instead you had to wait for me to mention a name in order to be motivated to do any work yourself. Which hits on my point that you are lazy unless motivated by an external influence.
