Koran is the manual?
OP - December 13, 2008, 02:47 PM

I'm sure you have heard the following argument given:

"If I were to create a new complex peice of machinary, would I not then write a manual for it, so that others can understand it?
Yes I would. That is why Allah has done so, and sent us the Koran, through Muhammad."

I can't quite follow the logic. Can someone explain it to me?

Because as far as I'm concerned, if I did create a new complex peice of machinary, I would write a manual for it, and give it to a fellow human being. I would not give the manual to the machinary!

Also the manual could be a little more clear and explicit so we don't misinterpret it, cuz the "Creator" should know how we are bound to do so!

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

I though it was clear, because a passage in it says "It is clear for everone to understand".

Just because Charles thinks he's coherent doesn't make him so, nor the Qur'an.

I was joking

But talking about Charles (Prince?), he was one of the first to know that you can communicate with plants.
Aparently the plants have 'feelings' and cry out when you boil them.
