Quran has 102 errors and contradictions in it, do you want to see them.

[stevecanuck]

The Quran is widely recognized for its poetic and metaphorical use of language.

Is "The most wicked creatures in the sight of God are the unbelievers" supposed to be read in iambic pentameter?

There is nothing even remotely poetic about the Qur'an.

 

[stevecanuck]

The Surahs are mixed like a "deck of cards," and how they should be interpreted is the responsibility of accredited Islamic scholars, not merely recited.

Here's another question for you:

If the Qur'an is meant for Islamic scholars only to understand, why did Mohamed recite it to the general public?

 

[Ebionite]

Here it says earth first the verse i showed earlier says heavens first clear contradiction it is

In Genesis 1 the firmament was called heaven, which is distinct from "the heavens", so there's no contradiction.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Most everything written by humans contains contradictions, errors, unattested assumptions, unverifiable assertions and all manner of problems. Most of the time, we don't care all that much (unless it's one of those Detective novels in which we're all surprised with the big reveal at the end).

So why do we care when it's the Qur'an, or the Bible, or any other scripture? Because, we attach greater importance to these works -- but without any particular reason for assuming that greater importance.

In my view, all such works should be regarded the same way we regard the writings of Socrates or Plato or Descartes or A.C. Grayling or any other philosopher -- or indeed any playwrite or novelist or poet: that they provide us with possible insights, that we can accept or dismiss, to help us in our efforts to live a good life. Good for ourselves and good for those around us.

We only go wrong when we accept such works, whether scripture, philosophy, fiction or poetry as holding irrefutable truth ---- they do not. They only give us hints as to other ways to view our world, to think about who we are and our place in it.

"Inductive Generalization". This occurs when someone draws a general conclusion from a limited number of examples. For example, if someone says that all students at a certain school are talented just because they know of a few talented students at that school, this is an example of inductive generalization. It is important to remember that generalized conclusions must be supported by an adequate and representative statistical sample, otherwise it is a logical error.

In accordance with the judgment I have made, according to the magisterium of my religion, I possess the finest translation of my book of faith. Nothing prevents me from interpreting it in my own language, but the "background" of the sacred writings is in another language, which I do not master.

We care when following what a holy book commands leads to hatred, death, destruction, and war. Otherwise, I wouldn't give two ****s what they say.

We only go wrong when we accept such works, whether scripture, philosophy, fiction or poetry as holding irrefutable truth ...

And when those who do accept them as holding irrefutable truth follow that 'truth' and kill people.

Fascinating. Does that still hold when someone uses 6,236 out of 6,236 examples to form a conclusion?

Uhhhh, okay.

Is that question targeted to me or you are saying other muslims will answer that question

first you said 100 and something error, but you show one , are you sure it is a mistake ??

Dear All,

Quran has 102 errors and contradictions in it do you want to see them.

Here is the first one. Quran 41:7-2 says earth was created before heaven. surah 79:27 to 34 says heaven was created before earth that is the first contradiction for you.

You can ask your questions.

Who says that this is in ascending order? It's just giving periods of creation.

This is a strawman.

 

[firedragon]

friend you are showing surah 79 that verse already says earth came after heaven but quran 41 is not talking about earth being spread it bluntly says earth was created first then heaven,.

It doesn't say "after or before". You are creating things. And the second verse you are quoting speaks of spreading out, not creating earth. This is the problem with such shallow research.
