[edit] Quran and heritage

http://www.answering-islam.org/Quran/Contra/i001.html

Let's say we have a family with one husband, one wife, three daughters and two parents of the husband, the man dies:

Three daughters: 3*2/9=2/3

Wife: 1/8

Two parents: 2*1/6=1/3

2/3+1/3+1/8=9/8

9/8 > 1

Apparently God doesn't count that well...

Hi Runny, welcome to WikiIslam. Thats a very good simple calculation that you did to show that point. Feel free to add it in the article. --Whale 17:39, 1 January 2007 (CST)

I removed the following: The criticism presented above is a classic example of the EITHER-OR fallacy. If he uses the same standard, the critic of these verses will find contradiction in almost every book. If he looks into biology books, he will similarly get confused. In one page he will learn that he is made of atoms, in other made of cells, of DNA, sperm, egg, embryo, earthly materials, etc. He would express his disbelief and confusion with a similar question.

It is not true. In the scientific text the is no Either/Or situation, there is a clear hierarchy. Atoms->molecules->cells->organism, so there is no ambiguity. Whereas in the cited quranic verses, there is no presentation of a similar hierarchy and they truly do show a contradiction in the quran. Gizmo 21:33, 19 June 2007 (PDT)

I agree, good point. There are several additions in fact which had been inserted by Muslims here and had slipped by. I'll take them out. Currently, Muslims are not allowed to put in content directly into articles. They could make a separate 'response' page, something which I had temporarily allowed to check if it would be an acceptable idea. --Whale ^talk contribs 21:46, 19 June 2007 (PDT)
