NASA Proves Islam is a trur religion

@Islam Hashtag
Since you posted Surah 55 let's have a closer look at it.
Just to give you a glimpse on the impact the Quran has on a dis-believer has I give you my feelings as I go through the individual verses. Since it is a bit long I only comment about the first part of it:

1) Most Gracious! 2. It is He Who has taught the Qur�an. 3. He has created man: 4. He has taught him speech (and intelligence)

1 and 2 are not provable. Phantasy.
3,4) Science tells otherwise

6. And the herbs and the trees � both (alike) bow in adoration.

Frankly, this is nonsense !

7. And the Firmament has He raised high, and He has set up the Balance (of Justice),

I don't see the link between Firmament and Justice.
It is again a set of non provable statements.

8. In order that ye may not transgress (due) balance. 9. So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.

Usual heaven and hell business

10. It is He Who has spread out the earth for (His) creatures:

We know that this is wrong

11. Therein is fruit and date-palms, producing spathes (enclosing dates); 12. Also corn, with (its) leaves and stalk for fodder, and sweet-smelling plants.

Trivialities.

13. Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

Well....

14. He created man from sounding clay like unto pottery

Scientifically seen: Plain nonsense !

15. And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke:

Jinns don't exist. Made out of "smokeless fire" !! This is even more nonsensical.

16. Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

Here we go again.

17. (He is) Lord of the two Easts and Lord of the two Wests:

No information content.

18. Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?

it's getting boring and unfortunately this is not the last time that this verse shows up in this surah....


It may be hard for you to swallow, but this is what I feel when I read the Quran. I can't help it.

Islam Hashtag: As if you would become muslim if the golden ratio you are trying measure comes exact.

It is not exact. Period.
It takes indeed a bit more than some phony miracles to convince me.

As if you would become muslim if the golden ratio you are trying measure comes exact.

For those having trouble with the latest link, here it is again (fixed): http://nrich.maths.org/7668

By the way, Islam Hastag, did you actually do the exercise described in this link?  If so, what numbers did you get?  Did the number 1.618 come up at all?

I got A = 0.9, B = 1.0 and C = 1.5 (inches).  So C/B = 1.5, and B/A = 1.1.  Nowhere near the Golden Ratio.  (I'd like to see a hand with a B/A = 1.618, by the way.  It would be freaky.)

For my arm/hand ratio (#5 in the exercise), I got 11/7 = 1.57.  Not bad, but not 1.618 either.  Anyway, the division between arm and wrist is fairly arbitrary (as are most of the others).  If I measured again I could easily get a smaller or larger number.
