A common Muslim apologetic claim is the claim that the Quran has 'scientific miracles', the idea being that the Quran predicts scientific ideas that didn't exist at the time of the Quran.A few common ones are the claim that the Quran predicts the Big Bang or that the Quran has modern embryology.

The first problem is that the term scientific miracles are inherently contradictory because a miracle is a priori something that breaks scientific laws such as the miracle claim that Muhammad split the moon in two.Another problem with this is that in the history of Islamic scholarship it was only around the 1970s that Muslim apologists and scholars began claiming that the Quran has scientific miracles and they were all after those scientific ideas were discovered.For example in the history of Islamic scholarship and science no one has ever claimed that the universe was continously expanding, this because the verse in question Surah 51.47 says that Allah is the best of expanders not that he is continuously expanding it.The translation of continuously expanding is not only grammatically incorrect but its also only found in the Clear Quran which was published in 2015.

This is the biggest issue with scientific miracles is that they're all anachronistic interpretations that are either grammatically incorrect or completely far-fetched.Another issue is that this selectively appied, for example verses that are clearly scientific inaccurate are instead interpretated metaphorically simply to avoid it being inaccurate.

Hi guys many people have been saying that they’re skiping Vesna because of her VA but I’m not sure what she did.

As in were they dental/dento-alveolar stop like Spanish T/D or were they like English T/D.

Is it possible for a fascist regime to not espouse racial supremacy or racial discrimination.

This is something I have noticed with a lot atheists.They often handwave the problem without realizing what it is, i've seen some say that its woo or that science has solved it or something.The problem itself accepts that the brain and conciousness are related in some way just that the exact answer isnt clear.For the record I don't think that physicalism isn't a valid answer because there are many philosophers who are physicalist who accept the hard problem, its more a question of why some atheist seem to handwave it

I have noticed that when some Non-malays question or criticise the bumiputera policy some Malays say its their right and shouldn't be questioned.Sometimes they also say its in the constitution so we shouldn't question it.They also say that since its their native land they need special rights.

If so, then why wouldn’t the Quran mention this ?

Honestly, its really worrying seeing this, but do you think its a sign the far-right is gaining popularity.

Something I have noticed is that different Tamil dialects tend to use different words for grandmother, but it seems pretty much al dialects use the word தாத்தா or some version of it for grandfather, are there other words that some dialects use ?

In Malaysian Tamil the word for car is காடி(kāṭi/gāṭi).Where does this work come from ?

Many muslim apologists will tell you that the Quran was preserved orally, and that if all holy books were destroyed, the Quran could still be written down due to it being memorized by every muslim person.However there is significant problems with those statements.Firstly, the Quran isn't the only such book like it, as the Vedas were also memorized orally.The Vedas were also memorized orally far longer than the Quran has, with it being it memorized like that for over a millennium.

Another issue is that most muslim apologists don't know what oral preservation is, you see most muslims learn the Quran by memorizing it from a book.In oral preservation the contents are passed by memory, so for example if your grandfather learned the Quran he would teach it to your father from his memory and your father would teach it you from his memory as well.This type of transmission is common in many societies, and is how the Vedas is preserved.However throughout the Islamic world, the Quran is memorized from a written text, and there is no passing of Quranic content via memory.

The statement that if all holy books were destroyed, only the Quran could still be written down, is also wrong.There are many people who have memorized the Bible and other religious texts and also memorizing the text doesnt ensure that you'll remember it forever.This is especially true for the Quran, as no muslims needs to recite the entire Quran for praying, only certain verses are required, so many muslims eventually forgetting most of the Quran anyway.
