Seven than more be can universes of number the so. One than more means that expression an also is Arabic in seven word the way the by.
Let's hear Emre refute that! |

and from my old answers:
"The age of the universe is three times the age of our Earth. Quran 50:38. We assuredly created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, and nothing of fatigue touched us. Quran 41.9 Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in He who created the earth in two days and attribute to Him equals? That is the Lord of the worlds." The verses say the universes and our universe have been created in 6 days/stages, and our Earth is in 2 days/phases. So the age or creation phase of the universe means three times the age of our Earth or the stage of creation. Today, science also gives a similar knowledge: Our universe is 13.5 billion years old and our Earth is 4.5 billion years old.... In other words, science indicates that the age of our universe is 3 times the age of our Earth(4.5 X 3 = 13.5)." |

Kurtosis is irrelevant to this discussion. It's a term from statistical probability. The English word you mean is "curvature."
Rotating a prolate spheroid so that the prolate axis is horizontal does not transform the shape into an oblate spheroid, even when the oblate axis remains vertical. Perspective does not correct your error. If the prolate axis (the major axis) is horizontal, then the semimajor horizontal axis remains unelongated, whereas the corresponding dimension in a prolate spheroid (with a vertical major axis) is elongated as compared to the prolateness. They are two different shapes, one the opposite of the other. They are not, and cannot be considered, equivalent. |

and from my old answers:
"Setting the sun is a folk expression. We Turks say "the sun is birthing" for the morning. This is also a folk saying. But in reality, the sun does not birth from the womb of its mother, it tells that the sun has started to rise, that is, it is morning. We say the sun is sinking into the sea, in Turkish. It is the evening that is described here." |

Emre, I have to ask*, have you ever seen an egg?
*obviously I didn't have to ask, but I wanted to. Surely that's close enough? |

Did you even watch the video you linked to? It's talking about how the internal structure of an egg is similar to a simplified diagram of the internal structure of the Earth, and that if you crack the shell on a hard boiled egg the cracked shell can be used to represent the tectonic plates. They are expressly not claiming the Earth is egg shaped, which is what the laughable book of nonsense the Qu'ran says.

and from my old answers:
"Wrong translation. There is no testis/testicles expression there. True translation: 86:7 From between the spine and the viscera., or 86:7 issuing from between the loins and the pelvic arch [of woman]. This verse about woman body (as "pelvic arch", has also the meaning of "ribs" or "arch of bones"; according to most of the authorities who have specialized in the etymology of rare Quranic expressions this term relates specifically to female anatomy (Taj al-'Arus). 86:6 He was created from water that spurts forth. 86:7 issuing from between the loins and the pelvic arch [of woman]./86:7 From between the spine and the viscera 86:8 For He is able to bring him back. In other words, the event in this verse is not the male body, but the event that develops in the female body. And there are 2 options here. 1- When we read these three verses in their entirety, God talking about the human being who comes out of the female body, that is, born. or 2- Mention of fluid in the female body(Amniotic Fluid): https://www.miracles-of-quran.com/amniotic_fluid.html " |

And from my old answers;
"Joshua was Jesus Jesus is the nephew of Moses and he has come to earth much earlier than you think. The Yusha/Joshua mentioned in the False Torah(hadith book) is actually Isa/Jesus. I showed this in my Turkish article: http://emre1974tr.blogspot.com/2018/...-ve-harun.html I said that Jesus/Joshua is the nephew of Moses and he lived in much older times than your think. And he was born in Ancient Egypt.. The pharaohons had a culture of cross-hands and feet. (and cutting theme with X shape/crosswise). The stories of Osiris and Horus were inspired by the life of Jesus. Because Jesus lived in an age before. Unfortunately, people always do what they do. They paganized the life story of the Prophet. Christianity was also created based on this story after centuries." |

Stop quoting yourself and answer the questions people have put to you.

He's at the pinnacle of Islamic intellectual dishonesty.
I've never seen so much dishonesty about the Arabic language. This guy can't even ask the time of the day in Arabic and he's making claims in the language that the oldest scholars of Arabic language and Quranic interpretations didn't. And Quran is holy only for those who think 2500 years ago ants could gain intelligence about an approaching army and it's leaders. |

We know what your claims are. They have been challenged. Repeating them does not answer those challenges, but it does suggest that you have no interest in actual discussion and are just spamming Islamic propaganda.
I have challenged your claim that the Qur'an "correctly" says the Earth is egg-shaped. I have explained thoroughly the error you have made in comparing shapes. Your answers are insufficient. Do you care to fix that? |

In short, I have answered all these questions many times and you have ignored them. And now you shamelessly ask the same questions over and over again, and you don't read what was written in the past.

Utter trash! You yourself have quoted a verse that says the heaven and earth were created in six days. It says this many times and it is obviously stealing the six day creation myth from the bible. The actual truth is that both the quran and the bible say one of Gods days is as a thousand years to us.
Therefore both books are saying the heaven and earth were created in six thousand years. |

Let me see if I can help JayUtah explain. I did a simple line drawing to show the differences between the earths shape and an egg on its side.
![]() The lines are “cuts” through the x-axis , y-axis, and x-axis respectively. Sent from my volcanic island lair using carrier pigeon. |

So dumb question.
Why did the all knowing omnipotent God not just go "The Earth is sphere" instead of going "The Earth is egg shaped if you look at a specific planer section of it from a specific angle?" |

Yeah I know but we're not going to get an explanation of why it's wrong, he's in way too deep for that. I'm trying to see if I can at least get an explanation of why even if it is right God decided to phrase it the stupidest way possible.
How come God's omnipotence never seems to include the most basic concepts of "efficient language?" |

Utterly false. You're simply repeating your past claims as if no answers have been given. You're either unwilling or capable of understanding the answers you've been given, and therefore not capable of having a discussion about them. You don't even read your sources in some cases.
In this post I explained in detail why turning the egg on its side does not change its shape to conform to the known shape of the Earth. It was clear enough that other posters were able to draw you pictures showing your error. In another post I identified where you tried to recast "day" to mean something else. You didn't respond at all to it. |

I think he literally doesn't understand why he's wrong. Yes, he's in deep on the big picture of trying to prove the Qur'an is scientifically correct. But I don't think he understands the geometry. The clincher for me was when he posted a picture of the gibbous Earth as seen from an outbound spacecraft and called it egg-shaped.

Indeed, like God says that our world is like an egg, both in outward appearance and in internal structure.
By the way, verses states also that the universes are spherical. Quran 55:33 O society of jinn and humans! If you can escape the diameters of the heavens and the earth, go ahead and escape. But you will not escape except with authorization. https://www.miracles-of-quran.com/sh..._universe.html |
