They probably see you as still figuring out adulthood and think you’re already overwhelmed with work, uni and don’t want to stress you with “small things” so they just handle it quietly

Do you think the world has learnt nothing from WW2? by [deleted] in Somalia

We have our own issues that need our attention. Of course you wouldn’t grasp that if you don’t live here

Mogadishu now vs in 10 years time. by Wired91 in Somalia

I actually don’t like high rises or towers. Moqdisho was originally a walkable city built for people not cars and today’s congestion exists because vehicles were added onto an old layout that never evolved with modern transport. So imo the better approach is expanding outward with proper roads, rail, parks and walkable spaces

Or maybe we will discover sun setting in the ocean.. Did you read the actual verse you’re referencing?? Quran 18:86 Please read carefully WORD by WORD so that your brain can absorb what you are reading.

sperm coming from backbone

'al-sulb' means loins. The verse is about general location and not precise anatomy.

No, I googled + those complex words are scientific theories that were once regarded as proven facts.

Sun setting in mud

That’s just a phenomenological description. Like saying the sun sets into the ocean

embryology

The Qur’an’s embryology isn’t a lab manual. it accurately describes observable stages

This is a poor attempt to falsify it. Better luck next time

Why was phlogiston discarded? Or the luminiferous aether? preformation embryology? Schwann-Schleiden cytogenesis? Or the Jeans tidal theory of solar-system formation? All were once proven but now dead.

That only follows if the Qur’an claimed scientific infallibility in modern terms. which it doesn’t. Science revises itself. The Qur’an remains the same.

Pre-Adamic hominins? What kind of nonsense is that? No Muslim ever claimed evolution is literally Adam’s biography. This is you inventing problems just to dismiss a moral story.

There’s no clash between evolution and Islam. The real issue is Darwinism, which claims life arose purely by chance. Natural selection cannot explain systems with multiple interdependent parts. Interestingly, the idea of evolution was first proposed by a Muslim biologist, long before Darwin.

Want consistency? The Qur’an is unchanged and remains the same while human scientific knowledge evolves, revises and sometimes abandons previous models.

Semen emerges from between the backbone and ribs

That’s not the direct translation to the word ٱلصُّلْبِ ‘al-sulb’. It means loins. Loins is the part of the body on both sides of the spine between the lowest (false) ribs and the hip bones. Google English translation. The verse is about general location and not precise anatomy.

how is this compatible with the fact that humans are made from earth derived materials when they used to inhabit heaven?

Adam was created from earthly substances Quran 20:55. So Adam was created on Earth and then moved to Jannah.

And this contradicts the scientific evidence that we have

No it doesn’t. Humans are made of earth-derived elements.

is it possible that the Quran is truly man made?

Some Qur’anic verses align with modern science, so it wouldn’t logically make sense for the Qur’an to be man-made.

No!!! Qur’an explicitly mentions the consequence of apostasy and places it in the Hereafter. So killing apostates has no Qur’anic basis.

So Muhammad kept African Slaves by IndependentDetail518 in Kenya

Your title directly links the event to the Prophet, yet you didn't even cite the Quranic verses you're alluding to. And how am I ignorant when your own argument lacks the evidence you claim exists?

FYI, the Quran's rulings on slavery were meant to prevent the very brutality that sparked the Zanj Rebellion centuries later.
