To make up for the silly and unserious path this discussion has taken recently, I will write a more serious and more discuss worthy post of why I believe that Islam is not true:
First of all, the Quran claims that it speaks the truth and nothing but the truth, it also claims to be perfect, error free, unedited and saved in the perfect form, this means that if someone finds an error in the Quran the whole trust system collapses.
Now science and religion are two different things, but this doesn't mean that they can not contradict.
The Law of contradiction states:
This simply means that two contradicting theories can not be both true at the same time, for example:
Davids cat is either alive or dead, it can not be both a live and dead at the same time.
Another example is X^2 = 4
In this case, X can be either 2 or 2, but it can not be both at the same time.
Another example is the physical study of light for example, there is a theory that studies light as particles and another that studies it as waves, however, these two theories can be both true because they do not contradict each other.
Accepting that two contradicting theories can be both true at the same time goes against what our mathematical and scientific knowledge because mathematics and science are based on this logical principle, hence science is based on mathematics, and mathematics is based on logic.
Now to the contradictions:
There are several contradictions between creationism in the quran and science today, one example of this is the big bang theory.
If you open the Quran and read from [41:10] to [41:12], surat فصلت, we will find the following:
This Basically states that God created the earth, at a time when the rest of the universe was smoke, and after furnishing earth with mountains and foods, he turned then to the heavens and made them into the sky we have today and created the stars.
This means that Earth is the oldest mass-object in our universe, even older than all the stars we have around us, which is a contradiction with the big bang theory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_Big_Bang#Structure_formation
Formation of the oldest star
HE 1523-0901 (13.2 billion years ago).
Formation of the
first galaxies (13.2 billion years ago).
Earliest formation of
I stars (10.1 billion years ago).
Formation of the
Milky Way galactic disk (> 10 billion years ago, < 6.5 billion years ago).
Formation of
Earth (4.54 billion years ago).
Conclusion:
We have a contradiction between what Islamic creationism states and what the science today states.
Islamic creationism states that earth is the oldest object in our universe and it existed before the stars were formed.
The big bang theory, astronomical and cosmological studies state that earth is not the oldest planet in the universe and it has not existed before the formation of stars.
These two statements contradict each other and thus can not be both true at the same time.
Evidence supports the scientific statements and thus disproves the Islamic creationism.
This allows us to label Islamic creationism as false.
