How to DISPROVE the BIBLE with ONE ARGUMENT|| Br. Mohammed Hijab (2016-07-18)

## Description

This video explains why 'if you are a fan of science' that the most coherent religious narrative to subscribe to is the Islamic one. This is not to say that science is perfect, as there are what Thomas Kuhn calls 'paradigm shifts' which means that even established scientific facts/ the framework in which science operates can change from time to time.

Islamic References:-

Ahmed Ibn Hanbal - as is narrated by his students. Abu Muhammad al Juwani (438 HD) Al istawaai al fawqiyah Ibn Taymiyyah - Kitab al Arsh (Fatwa)(728 AH)

For those who say that the earth is depicted as flat in the Quran as a desperate attempt to disprove it, they ought to refer to the oldest dictionaries of Arabic (like mufradaat al Quran) which refer to the word urd as meaning that which is below your feet as well as the whole planet. So when Allah refers to 'spreading the earth' as he does in many places in the Quran using different arabic words like maddadnah, farashna and 'wal urd kayo suthiat' this is clearly referring to the crust of the earth which is below our feet, and had this not been the case the scholars above would have said the earth was flat based on these verses.

Christian sources:-

Acts 10 v 11

Matthew 4:8 says, “Once again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world cosmos in their glory.”

In Job 9:6 it says, "Who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars (ydwmu) tremble." The LXX says, "Who shakes the earth under heaven from its foundations and its pillars (stuloi) totter." In Psalm 75:3 it says, "The earth and all its inhabitants are melting away; I set firm its pillars (ydwmu)." The LXX says, "I have strengthened its pillars (stuloi)." In I Samuel 2:8 it says, "For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s and he had set the world upon them." The Hebrew word for pillar is yqxm. The root is qx meaning "to melt" (BDB 1980, 848). Therefore, yqxm means, "a molten like pillar." The only other place it occurs is in I Samuel 14:5 referring to a mountain. Probably the pillars of the earth are the same thing as the foundations of the earth which were mountains.

just your first episode new0:00:21 car basically was that well will sent0:00:23 you as I do respect I do respect for you0:00:26 guys a colorful your Christians and your0:00:28 literalists and you believe in the Bible0:00:29 as is and you know why I respect that I0:00:31 do really respect that because in the0:00:35 West that we've had this kind of0:00:36 revolution Enlightenment period and0:00:37 scientific revolution dust relation all0:00:39 these different things have led people0:00:42 to insert interpreting the Bible which0:00:43 in a way which doesn't fit the classic0:00:45 works of Jesus which is actually for it0:00:47 is not in line with you know the the0:00:51 actual way that people we should0:00:52 interpret in a pot and the truth can't0:00:54 change can it so if you believe in the0:00:56 Bible you believe in the Bible0:00:58 yeah yeah you believe in it the Bible in0:01:00 a way which is straightforward the text0:01:04 speaks for itself0:01:04 is from God right yeah alright so while0:01:08 we're speaking Jim about and I hopefully0:01:10 get you involved I know you're0:01:11 interesting person to speak to and you0:01:14 gonna bid like mine a general I like to0:01:15 bid thank you Sheikh how do you shave me0:01:18 like this quite nice0:01:22 seriously we have a lot of the vapors0:01:24 I'm a discussion person I'm taking one0:01:26 too I mean Jesus so what we're saying0:01:28 was really the point I was going to make0:01:31 was just one way I'm not saying that0:01:33 science just as a disclaimer as a caveat0:01:35 I'm not saying that science is the0:01:38 measuring stick by which influent off' i0:01:41 whether religion is true or not true it0:01:44 in an in a complete sense i think that0:01:46 would be an extreme case and the reason0:01:48 why that is is because i believe that0:01:50 science goes true can come here this0:01:52 guy's my man and i believe that science0:01:57 can have way what thomas kuhn called you0:01:59 know Thomas Kuhn is the philosopher of0:02:01 science he said science can have like0:02:03 paradigm shifts I've said that I think0:02:06 that there are some rudimentary facts of0:02:08 science that we can all agree to and one0:02:11 of the things that I think is quite0:02:12 rudimentary is the shape of die would0:02:16 you agree with me that the shape of the0:02:18 earth is round0:02:20 you said to be a drunk are you sad about0:02:23 yes that's fine because I was asking0:02:28 this money because I was actually in 2%0:02:32 air and asked them how old is the0:02:35 universe they replied by saying six0:02:38 thousand years old is that correct yeah0:02:40 you believe the successor I'm not0:02:42 entirely 100% asylum I will research0:02:45 everything oh yeah I lost my current0:02:48 stance which is a bactrim other way0:02:49 would you do anyone sense like you do0:02:51 what she goes to school like you need0:02:53 something yeah I go second I don't go0:02:58 second to school unless you see that0:03:00 young yeah yeah asking this ahead kind0:03:04 of me has for yourself you said that0:03:08 would you say that be the university0:03:10 colleges oh maybe I don't know0:03:13 constantly make this money so that this0:03:16 wrong person on the Bible that indicates0:03:20 the fact that the earth is flat if you0:03:25 look at the book of Job chapter number0:03:27 nine verse number six it says the0:03:30 answers only flap way can be shaken out0:03:33 of this pillage so the earth has pillars0:03:34 the depiction of the public worth is0:03:36 that it's flat and it has penis like a0:03:38 table all right in the book of Matthew0:03:42 chapter number 8 that's number 4 as you0:03:43 very well know Jesus was taken to the0:03:46 higher the top of a very high mountain0:03:48 and I said that he saw all the kingdoms0:03:50 of yes0:03:50 that must be the earth is flat0:03:54 is there anything yeah because surely on0:03:57 the other side if you look at for0:03:59 example at the Book of Psalms chapter on0:04:01 with a 73 sorry chaps from 75 bus number0:04:05 three once again talks about the earth0:04:08 being flat and having pillars well you0:04:10 look at the book of Acts chapter number0:04:12 10 verse number 11 he talks about a big0:04:14 shoot comin appeal was talking it in a0:04:16 big sheet comes from the sky and it0:04:18 covers all four corners of the earth so0:04:20 it's very clear here that the biblical0:04:21 depiction of the earth is a flower now0:04:23 in the Quran it says in Chapter number0:04:25 39 verse number five you cope with0:04:28 Leyland's enough we called on the hala0:04:30 Lane what's up her Shamsul tamo-guna0:04:32 edge it in the edge any Muslim map so0:04:35 the scholars of exegesis of the past0:04:38 scholars I interpret the pride of the0:04:40 past they said that this verse makes it0:04:43 very clear that the earth is going round0:04:45 is must be round because this was tack0:04:49 we go will in this verse and therefore a0:04:55 middle hammer is one of the few died in0:04:57 2.1 haben team here's another one who's0:04:59 accorded mount issue even has it was the0:05:01 third one adjoining enforcement is0:05:04 welcome other scholars second that said0:05:05 before time what a full time that the0:05:08 earth is round0:05:09 now I'm not saying that Islamic0:05:11 literature there's not a scroll out0:05:12 there that says that the earth is flat0:05:13 the interpreter on to say that but what0:05:15 I'm saying is we have in our literature0:05:17 those early scholars will seem to help0:05:19 those around and every choice run is0:05:20 over in the Bible do I have them0:05:23 so just if you are because you started0:05:26 off by saying that the office round if0:05:29 you truly believe that the earth is0:05:31 round after the Muslim but if you are0:05:35 sticking to the fact that the earth is0:05:37 round0:05:37 yep believe in the scripture that tells0:05:39 you clearly that the earth is flat and0:05:41 has pillars and there's no other way of0:05:43 interpreting this then that will do a0:05:46 contradiction in the way you apply your0:05:48 standards that's how you sit how do you0:05:53 roll this round if you want to read0:05:56 something out in the scriptures to pipe0:05:58 in is etc this is a mystery where you0:06:02 believe in the Bible0:06:03 I do but the Bible must be all from God0:06:05 absolutely now but I would have minded0:06:08 if the Bible is all from God God must0:06:09 know what he's talking about so if God0:06:12 knows what he's talking about0:06:13 then he must when he refers to natural0:06:15 things he must refer to them in a way0:06:17 which is accurate if I'm really because0:06:20 I think the Bible you should know you0:06:22 saw us in parables so no but so you're0:06:25 your baby you don't believe the nation0:06:26 in s and s in there so you don't believe0:06:28 in literature Sigma so one God talks0:06:30 about things you're talking about0:06:31 everything is about it says it's

you know about you know0:10:10 a pillar is my friend yes that's right0:10:15 because the depiction of the biblical0:10:17 earth is flat it could be because it0:10:21 says the circle of the earth in the0:10:22 Bible0:10:23 it could be a disk but also has pillars0:10:26 tell me is that correct you think the0:10:30 Bible flat and has penis is there as0:10:33 flat as police is that surrounded do you0:10:45 agree with the Bible would you agree0:10:46 with the fact that the earth is round0:10:47 after B which is wrong you're going0:10:50 about a spill ISM what pillars means0:10:52 like a table you know a table you've0:10:54 seen a table before yeah a table is0:10:57 something which is like this and it has0:11:00 legs0:11:00 so villas act as stabilizers right they0:11:05 work only with flowers it's not powerful0:11:09 this is more than one verse if it was0:11:11 one verse we could say it's a parable0:11:12 but what you tell me what you do the0:11:15 opposite gives a feeling in the Bible0:11:17 yeah that's what you believe so Mars is0:11:19 a pillar nice support buttons if that's0:11:21 what you look at you believe do you0:11:23 believe in them I said it opens doors0:11:25 right so you believe in the climb there0:11:27 because the for the Quranic scripture of0:11:29 the three Abrahamic religions are the0:11:31 only ones as only scripture that has a0:11:34 verse in the Quran well verse in the0:11:36 Quran that can be interpreted in a way0:11:37 to suggest that the earth is round and0:11:39 the only scripture which has scholars0:11:41 predating a thousand years ago saying0:11:44 that the earth is round so it's not as0:11:46 in superimposing this narrative0:11:48 scientific narrative0:11:50 it's the truth which people of that time0:11:52 had identified the elephant leaders fear0:12:00 someo so dirty0:12:04 would you me
