Proposal: Quran detailing stuff impossible to know without modern scientific gear

Shit. Well, I'm not going after it, unless a quarter falls in also.

So maybe we can clarify something. If I show that something in the Quran is wrong, does that negate the examples that appears to show anamolous knowledge?

 

Yeah, this is a key issue that needs to be clarified before the debate starts. Is anyone going to be impressed if out of a thousand "scientific" claims 1 turns out to be "amazingly" correct and 999 are wrong?

I could write a book right now making all sorts of scientific predictions that no one today could possible know, but that will be verified as correct in the future...so long as no one cares about my success rate. If scifes only needs to pull one scientifically-correct fact from the Quran with no regard for the overall scientific accuracy in order to win the debate, then I don't think it's going to be of much interest to anyone. Even a stopped clock is right twice per day.

 

I like this.

 

No worries. There isn't a single thing in that book matching the OP claims.

 

I'm ready now. I don't know about the format.

 

that's interesting, yet complex, but;
not within the op, this debate IS easy for me spider, all i need to do is give one scientific fact given in the quran which is impossible to be found under the conditions the quran was written in, i.e without modern scientific gear..

check #8 and confirm.

and btw, now i'm the one who's busy, i've got a fat ass assignment on my plate, but i DO have 3 days to reply to any post, if you agree to my format of course.

 

scifes, iceaura did not forfeit. We've discussed this.

 

I agree to the format. My only other concern is that the quote from the Quran be specific. In other words, it cannot simply be a poetic verse that you happen to interpret as referring to an aspect of modern science.

 

alright, i'm working on my first post, if you want to beat me to it with some introduction or comments or anything, i don't mind.

\feeling REAL nervous:bawl:

 

Where's the debate thread, scifes? How about we agree if you don't post something by Feb. 20, I win by default?

 

well i do not agree

i'm busier than you can imagine, and am not so hot on starting this crooked from the beginning, but way to go with the pressure, you'd better make me regret this.

 

The verbal fencing continues.
