Seven Myths About Islam Part 5

5. The myth: “The Quran foretold many scientific discoveries”

The fact: almost every time the Quran got it wrong on science.

The Quran did not say anything that is scientific. In fact the Quran was not up to date even to the seventh century’s science. The Greek philosophers described a globe Earth and calculated its radius about 400 BC. A thousand years later the Quran was still talking about a flat Earth!

The Quran got it wrong almost every time it touched on a scientific issue, which is hardly surprising considering that it is a book of myths rather than science (6). Current Muslims go to the extreme to play with the Arabic language by twisting it and distorting its rules and word meanings in order to save the Quran from its embarrassing scientific blunders.

The myth of scientific miracles in the Quran is the latest big lie of the Muslim scholars in their attempts to market Islam in the age of science. The Muslims made hundreds of claims but all of them are based on lies and twisting the language which reflects how desperate the Muslim scholars are.

It is important to note that the existence of one mistake in the Quran means that the book is not divine and the entire religion is false.
