Do you have any proof it isn't? Funny that you'll ask about proof for this but evidence against creationism is instantly disregarded because that contradicts the Qu'ran.

What does the Qu'ran say about neanderthals, homo erectus, homo habilis?


You seem to think science and religion are seperate entities and can't mix....

They can so long as religion remains a personal philosophy and nothing else

But how do you know that the quran wasn't just made up like every other religious text


Made up by who......

Prophet mohammed who was an orphan and couldn't read or write.

The Qur'an is too complex for humanity to have written it. It even challenges people like you to write ten verses simliar to Quran.

Too complex? In what way? And similar, what do you mean?

You didn't answer my question.

And religion does hinder scientific progress.

'Who made us so perfect?'
We're one of the most flawed species on earth. For example:
The frail knees and spine
Births complicated (before C - sections)
Ejaculation and urination originating from the same organ, can cause UTIs.
What the **** is the appendix for lol, does nothing and can kill
One of few animals that can't make own vitamin C
Wisdom teeth

I could go on but...

'There isn't a camera on this earth that can come close to the human eye'
Human eyes are inefficient, one of many arguments against creationism. We have a blind spot and too many muscles in the eye.
The light to rod/cone cell is inefficient

'Where did all this come from'
Evidence does point to simple life originating from an asteroid or collision and thus evolution over millions of years. No one knows for sure but God certainly isn't the answer. The Quran doesn't even mention dinosaurs or neanderthals (or any other species of human like homo erectus)

Too complex in the way that it's impossible for humans to even create 1 verse like it! The disbelieving arabs did try it and they were mocked and laughed upon because what they created didn't make sense.
It's not simple straight forward arabic that was put together by some author. The arabic used is complex, the way the verses are all formed together, so many meanings and teachings can be derived from one tiny verse and that is the reason it is complex, why no human has been able to replicate it and nor will they ever be able to.

It is less merciful to send people to hell than to not sned them there. Allah does the former, I would do the latter.

Yes, but that doesnt mean what you are interpreting isn't rubbish

And I mean could you pick up any Arabic book and read it without ease?

I know but what is interpreted from the Quran is not rubbish, it obviously is within context and makes logical sense.

Well it depends if it has the verbs on or not because I haven't learn the Arabic language fully yet.

In which case how can you say the writing in the quran is that special and no-one can replicate it if you aren't a native arabic speaker

Because it's been tried by Arabs before and they haven't succeeded in doing so?
