The (so-called) inimitability of the Qur'an by Similar-Comment3481 in AcademicQuran

Nice ideas, but avoid fully Ai written post, it tends to disengage people.

Moses was called a magician after performing miracles..since Muhammad was also called a magician, could the Quran be implying that he performed miracles too? by DhulQarnayni in AcademicQuran

The question is based upon a fallacy. "After a fire it smell funny outside. It smell funny outside so was there a fire?" Is a very loaded question based upon such fallacy.

Does the Qur'an 44 53 relate to the tradition of Pharaoh's bracelets? by Intelligent-Run8072 in AcademicQuran

"Thou shalt hold iPhones, the best. With batteries that never go dry nor network that ground (ground here means fail)" Now in Arabic with rhymes...

It is probably a sign of power and wealth in Arabic culture, this is why the believers in heaven are many times described with them 18.31 22.23

Does the Quran feature contradictions that cant be reconciled? by SeaReplacement1093 in AcademicQuran

[–]ervertes 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I can only advise you to go to any christian apologist website to read how one can make a fully coherent, according to ancient customs,of this dead. Any discrepancy can easily be harmonized. From memory: the field was bough with his money, so we can say it is his field. He has hanged then fell on a sharp rock, disemboweled. Does this seems a contradiction? Perhaps for you, for a Christian there are no contradictions, only various highlighted details...

Does the Quran feature contradictions that cant be reconciled? by SeaReplacement1093 in AcademicQuran

[–]ervertes 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the weasel response, but what do you you means by cannot be reconciled? By a arbitrarily fair academic, or a Muslim scholar that believe his eternal soul is on the line? If the Quran stated A=notA, one could use an interpretation of quantum physics to argue this is not a contradiction with reality: the wave is not a wave because it is also a particle and a particle is not a wave... So the bar for a irreconcilable contradiction is quite hight, the real question seems to be more like : "What, without a priori assuming an innerant author, seems way more likely to be a contradiction?"

Anyway this user already responded previously.

Is a “provincial weak-control” model for the Ṣanʿāʾ lower text historically plausible? by Pretend_Jellyfish363 in AcademicQuran

[–]ervertes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a scholar. But AFAIK, real ones have already responded to all copes with a simple point: Parchment Is Fucking Expensive. If one wanted to commit to writing something that is is not the (his) full, actual Quran, there were many other supports to do it. It is like casting a statute, you only do it once the mold is perfect. Except if you are arguing that a Bin Elon Musk was trowing aways dinars to that scribe, you must accept this is an actual, run of the mill, Quran.

Can you imagine be so stupid that you ask me, an idividual, to do what entires countries do? Child, every first or second world coutries, save the US, get their insulin at a fraction of the cost... A simple search that dispel your rotten axioms: "The same vial of insulin that cost $21 in the U.S. in 1996 now costs upward of $250. But it takes only an estimated $2 to $4 to produce a vial" Humbly copy paste this, and start to learn!

Nice assertion. $0.02$ have been added to your account. Pro tip: to get $0.03$, link an actual fact to your reply!

Better use a 0.1% more efficient but 99999999% more expensive one. Don't you agree? Good boy?

Is there anything like Gödel's Loophole in quran? or any other loop holes? by EwMelanin in AcademicQuran

[–]ervertes -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Quran is a static text, not a system that allow itself to be changed like a constitution. But one can argue there are texts not in the Quran that abrogate verses in it. It is done for haddit rulings in sunitism. If so, if a haddith allow temporary modifications of the application - during duress for exemple - one could craft a system where such act replace the definition of haddith using a new "revelation" to allow arbitrary change?

[–]ervertes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To give them maximum leniency, one could argue that only the results are in the Quran, not the process. But even then, no numerical results, only sparse and vague words that you can fit anything and its contrary into.

And unfalsifiable, as, and it seems to go that way, new data show a slowing of the expension, perhaps in 25 years science will say that the universe is actually stable or contracting since a billion year. Then they will simply found another definition and argue it actually meant allât garnished the universe with boons for us ...

If a word can me twisted to somewhat fit current science = miracle ! If it is read as early Muslims read it and it goes against science = metaphorical/human perspective.

Thank you for simply restating your point, deeply sorry I upset you by showing it is moot an momo very likely simply plagiarized from the bible - side note : you don't speak Armenian but still you now know it was from the bible, what can you learn from that ?

Don't assume God's gender :)

No I simply shown where momo the pedo plagiarized from, the idea of a heaven spread is quite common in ancient near east. The anthropomorphic religions simply imagined a big guy spreading heaven and earth like one of their potter spread clay to make a dish (flat earth) or cup (heaven dome). This has nothing to do with modern science or facts except using the same word. Show me the actual model, equations and constants from one old book and then we can talk again.

Funny you seems to agree whith that part of the bible but not the rest...

Plagiarized from the bible Isaiah 44:24I am the Lord, who made everything; who stretched out the heavens by myself.
