@SamUKest89 u cant be bothered…..u must be very arrogant, a good person wud take the time to share the truth, or u simply dont have any idea of truth
AR333, most people on youtube haven’t been to university, let alone have a PhD. To most Muslims on youtube, 1 and 2 of what you said is going to fall on deaf ears, which is sad, because most scholars do not axiomatically assume that the Koran is divine.
Honestly, if anyone in this comment section is to be taken seriously, DO NOT:
1) Say the Koran contains scientific truths, only discovered by the rest of us centuries later
2) Say that the Koran is a non-human product
3) Say that Islam is inherently evil
4) Say that being a Muslim = being a terrorist
5) Say that Christians all believe because of their culture, while Muslims all believe because they have examined objectively
Whoever says any of these is not serious about education.
another dickhead that is to stupid to think clearly
@SamUKest89 Islam not just about believe, it about proof and clear thinking. If i told you science found something right now using all modern tools but already clearly reveal in Quran 1400 years ago, would you belive? Agreed with you sometime evidence slap in your face, but you turn away. Prejudice gets in the way of truth.
@khairilazizi i could give you quotes regarding these, but i cant be bothered, as even if the evidence was in your face you wouldnt take it and continue to believe. comfort always gets in the way of truth
@SamUKest89 Well again, there is no quote degrading women, you need to understand the whole context of that quote. It is the same when you seen that order to kill, it came when people in war, dont just sit when enemy come to kill you, fight back, but when they want peace, peace is the best. That what the Quran said. Islam cannot be force to anybody, nobody get kill because they refuse to accept Islam. FYI There is more than 10 million Arab Christian in Arab speaking world.
@khairilazizi well i have seen quotes degrading women, and direct orders to kill infedels in the quran, am i an infildel? if i refused to join islam would i get killed? is sharia law a good thing to you?
@SamUKest89 You need to understand Islam before you make a comment about abuse to women or murder. Nothing in the teaching of Islam related to abuse anybody or murder innocent people. Dont judge a car by it driver or what others said about it. Check it out yourself. For instant, check out why Yvonne Ridley, feminist Journalist from UK become a Muslim in this Youtube.
@khairilazizi even the things about abuse to women? murder? should that still be relevant?
@SamUKest89 Not Islam and Al Quran. Islam is for all mankind and for any era. It is reveal more than 1400 years ago and still applicable until now. Al Quran never change and never been revised. Whatever stated in Al Quran 1400 years ago never been outdated and proven the truth by modern science.
Masha Allah he’s a true Mathematician who has challenged the Qur’an and has been defeated by the Qur’an but in his defeat he has acheived victory by accepting Islam and doing Da’wah…
i dont understand going from atheism to a belief with a considerable amount less evidence, regardless of the religion, the reason must be more satisfaction in the belief you choose rather that feeling it is the most valid. Science will always progress, religion will have to stick by its books forever, there is nothing else to gain, and its becoming more embarrassing and outdated with every scientific breakthrough
mashallah :)
Peace and love to all Christians, Jews, Muslims and all those who believe in God !
You are all my family because we believe in God and we are God’s creation :)
Atheists FTW!!
i as well am a former athiest
I wouldn’t worry about this being boring Jeffrey! it’s great to hear an ex-atheist’s point of view on the subject, and not just one who adhears to what their parents say or what they’re culture says.
alhamdulillah intelectiuls are coming to deen ul haqq ie Islam.

here’s a translation from USC:
No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision: He is above all comprehension, yet is acquainted with all things.
I say that science helps us in our lives and reinforces our faith in God. but athiests keep saying “there’s no proof”. to me my own existence is proof enough
Sorry, but unless you have a quranic quote, proving your point and disproving those against your point, only then will we agree.
Technically, you’re saying “I like science, but truth can’t be found by science – enjoy science, it’s for fun, not for god. Keep them apart”.
Sorry but that goes against what the Dr spoke about earlier in the lecture. That reason goes with faith.
You’re concentrating too much on pleasure, you’ll forget the work.

Please note the history regarding the scientific understanding of the origin of meteorites.
Please refer to the scriptures yourself rather than comment on the people who say they follow the scriptures.
Note that in vedic and biblical scriptures, the god is one, has no form, no image, does not beget children. But in paganistic myths, everything is up for sale.
And technically he does have a choice, the god isn’t forcing him regarding many things.
If you want to continue to measure your thinking on how people behave, then you’ve learnt nothing yet from Dr. Jeffrey Lang talk.
but I must add. God promised us that the highest pleasure in heaven will be that God will allow us to look upon him “as plain as you see the full moon” is the quote from a hadith by the prophet PBUH.
I love physics books, I love biology, I love natural history, I love astronomy. never has my belief in God made me think “ahh I get it, God made it all, I don’t need to look any further”. I simply enjoy the wondrous nature of everything. if you think I need science to discover God, that’s nonsense. You’ll never be able to make a telescope strong enough to see a white bearded old man on a cloud. That’s a mockery of the true God. God chose not to be attainable via earthly means.
