I am speaking about thunderballs/storm at there only:
"There are verses about the lightnings that sometimes they targets non-believers. But that doesn't always mean the lightning strikes targets them. And science doesn't care about that. It's just observing the case." I am giving different example from Quran. But all my other writings are about plasmas.Stars shooting from fires/lights. Your English and thinking is very weak. |

"Sometimes lightning strikes non-believers. That is proof of the greatness of Allah. Sometimes lightning strikes believers. Well, they cannot really have been believers." Does that sound like a reasonable argument for you?

Actually, I think that the Thunderball theme song is more appropriate for you Quran nonsense than is the plot of Thunderball.
Such as this bit from the song: ... He runs when other men walk. He acts when other men just talk. Any woman he wants, he gets. He will break any heart without regret. He looks at this world and wants it all. And when he Strikes, Its like Thunderball! ... |

As the Qur'an says, stars make shooting from light / flame.
And I wrote it before it was discovered. If we go back to SPECTRE again; Quran 14:46 And they schemed their scheming, and their scheming is known to God; and their scheming was enough to make the mountains cease to exist. |

SPECTRE is an organisation in a series of books and movies.
The Illuminati is an organisation in the minds of conspiracy theorists. But hey, you can make history by naming some members of these organisations and presenting your evidence that they are indeed members. You won't, of course. This is all just a game to you. |

No, SPECTRE does not exist in real life.
No, the Illuminati and SPECTRE are not identical, either in real life or in the fictional universes in which those terms arise and have been commonly used. Not only are you confusing fact with fiction, you can't get even the fictional part right. |

Which you then wrongly equate to plasma. Plasma is not light. Light is not flame. Flame is not plasma. It's fine if you want to conflate those concepts informally, but you're trying to claim in addition that science has confirmed these relationships. It most certainly has not. Science has precise definitions for those terms, and they have nothing to with concepts taken from the Qur'an or made up by you.

Emre, did you know that it's a matter of court record that Ian Fleming claimed SPECTRE as his fictional invention? SPECTRE didn't appear until Thunderball, which was Fleming's first attempt to create his own Bond stories for the screen rather than in print. However, Richard Maibaum, who was working on scripts for the other movies, incorporated SPECTRE into them without Fleming's permission. Fleming sued, claiming that Maibaum had appropriated his creation without a proper license; Maibaum and the Broccoli-Salzmann consortium did not then have the rights to Thunderball.
Fleming's case in court would have been greatly undermined if he had no proprietary rights in the name and character of SPECTRE. Had it simply been a different name for the Illuminati, or had existed in any way in real life, then Maibaum could easily have defended against the suit by showing that these were common things, not Fleming's creation, and that he was justified in his use of them. Instead, the Rick & Cubby club was forced to settle. SPECTRE is fictional, and this is established public record. |
