If I was God and I inspired some guy to write my Big Book of Rules, I would make sure the wording was so perfect that nobody would ever be in any doubt about what I meant him to say and there would definitely be no arguments over translations or alternative interpretations.

I think he means that Scorpion is a paid shill.
Presumably for sanity. |

I have already shown the Arabic of verse 79.30 does not have the word egg in it. It is you who persists in pasting in false Muslim propaganda.
It even says in your posts that the verse says the earth is spread out. Then it goes on to falsely claim this means it is round. This must be Muslim logic, to say flat means round. Next you will be arguing that black is white, or day is night. |

I think it's quite obvious that the OP can't read arabic, so he just posts random **** from random websites. With no way of knowing it's just random ****.
Although as it is based on fairy stories, the random ********** should be obvious. |

And probably English.
This is how I suppose he will read your post, which translated back into English looks this way:
Quote:
If you follow Emre, you will find this modus operandi matches which posts he replies and why he replies as if something different was written. |

Well then, he should diaper bag the nougat he uses to finagle the buffalo buffalo under the weakened spirit of the debauched alcohol. Otherwise he'll see a final disassembly of the religious context of the fetid refuse of theological disambiguation.
Or not. It's up to him, if he is wise enough to be choosy right. |

30- He made the earth egg-shaped
(79- The Snatchers, 30) http://www.quranmiracles.com/2011/03...-of-the-world/ *** And: http://www.quranmiracles.com/2011/03...oat-in-orbits/ https://lampofislam.wordpress.com/20...omment-page-1/ Earth is a rotating sphere. The Quran says that when the night and the day overlap, they make a ball (sphere): http://www.speed-light.info/miracles_of_quran/earth.htm **** Indallah = Afterlife Universe Furthermore, the word "Floor of Lord" , "Indallah" is translated incorrectly into English always. It has always been translated into "in the Eyes of the Lord". Almost all English translations are wrong here. Very sparse turns out to be the correct translation. |

I for one am getting heartily sick of this harping about the Earth being egg shaped ..... it is an oblate spheroid.
As the circumference of the earth is 40,070 km around the equator and 39,931 km around the poles it is slightly flattened at the poles. This flattening is so small it would be difficult to see and unlike an egg shape, is only there if observed from a point perpendicular from the equator. If it were an egg shape it would appear the same if observed from a point above the poles. |

Once again you paste in links which are deceitful and false interpretations.
Verse 39.5 in no way says the earth is a ball, in fact it seems to me to say the sun orbits the earth. http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/39/5/default.htm |

Does it not occur to you Emre that the obvious vagueness in translating the "word of God/Allah, is a clear indication that the wording of the message, is not as good as it could be. Why is this? Does this not show the authenticity of the said word is questionable? Would not God/Allah be able to express himself in a lucid fashion? A small thing to ask of an all knowing one I would think. |

Quran says Earth is egg/sphere shaped.

The verses are clear and clear.
The problem is in people. As the Koran was protected, they tried to partner other sources. And they tried to upload symbolic meanings to the verses. Or they multiplied the translations in accordance with the New Age(Spiritualism) teachings. Or they are not read the book in integrity. Or they're trying to interpret the book in line with other teachings. We also see a bad example of this with the Scorpion on the forum. The cruelty of trying to disrupt religion is everywhere, unfortunately. |

Maybe it's like the Egg of Columbus.
In a primitive context you can take "egg-shaped" as "spherical" because of the incapacity to spot one from the other -in a primitive context, lacking precision and what to do with it-. Emre moves nonchalantly from one lack of concept to another one. With this, Emre, the Christian missionary, yet in other attempt to tar Islam, illustrates us about how primitive is the cultural frame in which the Quran was inserted. To this point, everyone should be used to Emre ridiculing Islam with his/her twisted interpretation of random surahs. |

Right. Well.
If I was God, I mean if I was a competent God rather than some blundering amateur, and I invented people, I would design them to be sufficiently capable of understanding clear instructions that, when I divinely inspired one of them to write my Big Book of Rules, not only would My book be absolutely, rigorously clear and logical, but everyone would understand exactly what I meant so there wouldn't be any stupid arguments about what My rules were. An omnipotent, omniscient being wouldn't drop the ball on basic stuff like that. |

No matter how many times you say that it will not be true.
The sun does not move to a destination. It may have a orbit in the galaxy but Muhammad did not know that. It is obvious he thought the sun orbits the earth. What is more he thought the earth is flat, and the sun goes under the earth and is reset to the beginning of its orbit every dawn. There is a reputable hadith that states this, and explains verse 36.38 in depth, and your refusal to believe the hadiths is denial. See hadith Bukhari vol4 book 54 no 421 |

In some sort of Islamic special argument, Emre associates this with the 200 million year period of the Sun moving inside the Milky Way. He had to be sort of a de-constructivist in this to make the whole wrong set-up in the Quran match some elements verifiable in the universe as it is.
[I insist he does that as a christian missionary trying to tarnish Islam] |

I'm sure it's been brought up, but the Earth is oblate and not elongated. Even if you grant the "egg-shaped" translation or interpretation, it describes the opposite spheroid deformation than what we observe the Earth to be.

You only end up in Hell if you're REALLY nasty. Most the jerks will just come back as a Gaki, a Hungry Ghost. The good news is a Gaki can still die and be reincarnated. It's tough but you're still in the running for eventual enlightenment. You're just really, really, REALLY far behind at that point.
