0:00:00 and patina people ability age would you
0:00:08 a party so they wanted to focus on
0:00:12 another part of the world called Islamic
0:00:16 proof yeah which is the structural
0:00:21 coherence of the plan which is something
0:00:24 which is kind of not really spoken about
0:00:26 too much the structural provision of art
0:00:28 I personally believe that it offers
0:00:31 another layer of very powerful
0:00:32 argumentation for someone to promote
0:00:36 Islam I basically added another layer of
0:00:39 evidence for the Islamic charity once
0:00:43 again here before we start is an
0:00:46 important caveat that to put forward
0:00:48 which is that Iran itself wasn't result
0:00:51 Buddha long ago so the property was 40
0:00:53 years old when he know the promise to go
0:00:57 to him in the bath shut up
0:00:58 and obviously the span of 23 years he
0:01:02 received the bronze piece meal like
0:01:05 piece by piece until he died at the age
0:01:07 of 63
0:01:08 now this itself is interesting okay this
0:01:11 is this is healthy interesting why
0:01:14 because the thing is you realize that
0:01:16 before on despite it being completed in
0:01:19 terms of its structure and despite it
0:01:23 being also something which we know ended
0:01:27 when it needed to be ended
0:01:29 absolutely Maya in the Quran it says in
0:01:31 chapter 5 verse 2 it says and you'll
0:01:33 make mint electric vehicle we're at
0:01:35 Mount Wellington amateur only two level
0:01:37 disseminated in a suspected religion and
0:01:39 I complete multiple to use exception so
0:01:42 in other words the Quranic message was
0:01:45 fully revealed yeah this is a ton of
0:01:48 evidence for the validity of his life
0:01:52 what was in chapter 5 verse 67 underpins
0:01:55 a lot of analysis it says yeah you had
0:02:01 yeah you know so well that man what did
0:02:03 I like am a robbery
0:02:04 what is a
0:02:06 forever last an eternity well no me a
0:02:08 single community says that Oh profit
0:02:12 basically say to the people that which
0:02:16 you have revealed to you from your Lord
0:02:20 or has come down to you from your Lord
0:02:22 and if you don't do this and you have
0:02:24 not put forward or you have lost you
0:02:26 have not basically fulfilled your
0:02:27 mission sending the message and then the
0:02:31 interesting last part of the area is
0:02:32 well love we are similar I mean an
0:02:35 entity that certainly Allah will protect
0:02:37 you from the people the Prophet Mohammed
0:02:41 Salim was engaged in warfare on a yearly
0:02:44 basis I think if you count it probably
0:02:47 about two wars a year so he had an equal
0:02:50 chance to be killed at each time each
0:02:52 time please but what I would say alone
0:02:55 protect you from the people together so
0:02:58 the first point of interest here is half
0:03:01 considered and by the Midway how could
0:03:03 anyone guarantee that year it's not like
0:03:06 today's lot of the profit actually where
0:03:08 does it was mercy for the most part in
0:03:10 light manservant with defensive war yeah
0:03:13 so there was thought when the program
0:03:15 was going out that he was going on him
0:03:16 so it wasn't people going on his body
0:03:19 when he went out each time of the times
0:03:22 you'd be killed each time each every
0:03:24 time you become how come is the puranas
0:03:27 being so confident here is saying that
0:03:30 alone protect you from the people and
0:03:33 otherwise you'll be protected you will
0:03:34 not be killed this is an interesting
0:03:36 thing and a very confident thing to do
0:03:38 mysterious fact it had amounts of
0:03:41 prediction of the future and it shows
0:03:43 you once again the veracity and the
0:03:46 validity of the Atlantic message another
0:03:49 thing that came to my mind was in gaja
0:03:53 resulting issue of death in chapter 2
0:03:57 and chapter 52 the Prophet Muhammad and
0:04:01 basically using human interaction with
0:04:03 Jewish tribes at the time and then many
0:04:07 of them there was peace agreement who
0:04:10 are broken apparently
0:04:13 so the client came to America criticized
0:04:16 those particular Jews at the time of 100
0:04:18 yet and basically as you may know the
0:04:23 lot of the Jewish people believe in that
0:04:26 now the chosen few that so I lost my
0:04:30 data
0:04:31 he sends down in Sioux possible for
0:04:33 unwanted you know if you think that you
0:04:38 are basically the chosen people says
0:04:40 mala sentimental notes so rich was dead
0:04:44 yeah and it's my son of it what's going
0:04:48 on but there was a good company they
0:04:50 saying which would end and then is
0:04:53 something interesting and that's
0:04:55 technically a intricacies of what I had
0:04:57 meant no no more evident department ID
0:04:59 you will never be able to do whenever we
0:05:03 wish to a hopeful of death because of
0:05:06 what their hands and forth and so just
0:05:09 assume about whether men know whether
0:05:11 the mother without the two moons very
0:05:13 rate this is a matter it's really that
0:05:15 they were never really asked for that so
0:05:20 I sit there and I ask that because of
0:05:22 what they hadn't before not was got to
0:05:24 do anything basically saying making a
0:05:27 prediction that those particularly
0:05:29 Jewish people who had broken the peace
0:05:31 agreement would never say I want to die
0:05:35 basically
0:05:35 the DS word I don't like if a Jewish
0:05:38 person came out and said this will occur
0:05:40 while he did it it every age you know
0:05:44 Islamic and this was clay animosity
0:05:47 because at one point there was the
0:05:48 breathing of the peace agreement they
0:05:50 could have easily come up that shows you
0:05:51 because the ranchers and other part of
0:05:53 Iraq yeah well can we have connect now
0:05:56 basically know him like they know their
0:05:58 fun
0:05:59 so otherwise the party was asserting
0:06:01 that those particular Jews believe that
0:06:03 our farmers true right but that they
0:06:06 would never come on say it openly in
0:06:09 that way with a publicly claimed that it
0:06:12 will never come up and say that we want
0:06:14 to die that's a prediction of the future
0:06:15 we can easily be disproven
0:06:18 all that it needs is one person to come
0:06:20 out reduce to be those diseases use
0:06:23 people and say you know I I want to buy
0:06:28 every night you know literally that's
0:06:30 what I wouldn't have to happen and then
0:06:32 under being destroyed but that didn't
0:06:35 happen which does show or think that you
0:06:38 also go for I'm new the psychologies of
0:06:40 the people and this you know this once
0:06:44 again Republicans of this councils for
0:06:47 example one is in Navarre of Maria which
0:06:50 in some aggressive attack from before
0:06:52 the crime war lost her Allah he
0:06:54 mentioned in the film I put it again
0:06:58 this this whole narrative of wisdom in
0:07:01 real
0:07:02 basically the Quran is saying became his
0:07:06 legacy of my renewal really function how
0:07:10 far
0:07:10 maybe he's hoping a diet for his lamb so
0:07:13 once again he could have discredited
0:07:15 Islam I come before you think our
0:07:17 cameras let me know you know and if they
0:07:19 didn't have a lot that we can I'm glad
0:07:21 know like with that this purse you could
0:07:24 have come forward at admit but look what
0:07:25 I was saying generally that is not a so
0:07:28 this is something which we could
0:07:29 possibly refer back to the old better
0:07:31 because it goes into kind of like a
0:07:33 prediction of future by also demonstrate
0:07:37 that the author of the Quran he knew the
0:07:40 psychologism that he would be and he's
0:07:43 challenging you to be I mean think of it
0:07:45 this is a sudden reading which I find
0:07:47 fascinating letter so I if it charges
0:07:50 you invades with great confidence do
0:07:51 certain things or when it's hopes of the
0:07:54 future so very confidently and you know
0:07:57 this is a part of the narrative here or
0:08:01 the evidence base we use to show up Iran
0:08:04 has it also which knows the future
0:08:06 basically so this is pretty why
0:08:10 what is you know something about the
0:08:11 structure before not specifically which
0:08:12 all is it so high idle bit which is
0:08:14 interesting as we said the park in peace
0:08:17 in your then someone Alonso gang but
0:08:20 despite a thunder for i attain peace by
0:08:22 peace you will find that there are
0:08:25 incredible
0:08:26 the unity that exists within the burning
0:08:27 missiles on the beginnings of the
0:08:30 feather hat until the engines for the
0:08:31 next at honor would be this service came
0:08:34 at a time when circumstances which no
0:08:37 further predicted because some of them
0:08:39 contain questions inside of them which
0:08:41 the prophets have had to basically hunt
0:08:43 on the spot so there are lots of
0:08:45 questions that a proper was asked and he
0:08:47 had to answer in the form of the prime
0:08:50 mechanical they ask you about the sole
0:08:52 successor yes a lunar handbook burning
0:08:54 he asked you about opening chapter 18
0:08:57 and black the lunar calendar related
0:08:59 they asked you about drinking and
0:09:01 gambling in chapters of the Quran yes
0:09:04 and like a hill then they asked you
0:09:06 about the new moons yes a lunar hand
0:09:08 legitimately ask you what you see so
0:09:11 each time the planning to come forward
0:09:13 and basically provide an answer so it
0:09:16 couldn't have been pre-planned mounted
0:09:17 by I in mind when I tell you now that
0:09:20 the Quran is composed of 114 chapters if
0:09:24 you look properly you'll find that the
0:09:27 Quran in the beginning to the end is
0:09:30 punched into two different groups the
0:09:31 paralyzes thoughts inside I think by and
0:09:34 I was reading a book remaining
0:09:36 instragram us by surprise this person
0:09:39 actually comes a very conclusion Asian
0:09:41 cuisines moderate iron over fire yet and
0:09:44 what willful destruction of others never
0:09:46 I was quite interested in his
0:09:48 observation probably having a good
0:09:50 school destruction for Annapurna and he
0:09:52 was saying that one had an interesting
0:09:56 structure and that basing your finally
0:09:59 the Puranas compartment I'll into
0:10:01 different groups and this is my let me
0:10:04 holla if you think it's it's really over
0:10:05 like if you look into the night sky and
0:10:07 you look at a star you find no clear
0:10:10 pattern maybe on first sight but if you
0:10:12 look more closely you'll find that they
0:10:14 are arranged into the constellations now
0:10:16 collided something thinner because if
0:10:19 you let us with the bottom for example
0:10:20 yeah so the pocket very similar
0:10:23 which is right in the people being
0:10:26 sequencing of those so tested to is very
0:10:29 solicitous of dream in its lexical
0:10:31 phrases edits and it basically is
0:10:35 composition and file all related very
0:10:38 similar chapter 3 and chapter 4 other
0:10:40 seminars check before her so all of the
0:10:43 sort that I actually arranged XP channel
0:10:45 you'll find that the tape or the flavor
0:10:48 of the surah is similar to the sort of
0:10:50 axonal for insulin that comes after it
0:10:52 and this is very very interesting on the
0:10:54 acquiring discourse you'll find out also
0:10:59 in addition to this reality and this is
0:11:01 something I rented this interesting book
0:11:03 was it going to be the Western
0:11:07 communities completely by each other
0:11:08 because a Muslim then with Neil Robbins
0:11:10 again here at McConnell available camp
0:11:13 the company I already read the chapter
0:11:17 so far structure I just wanted to get
0:11:19 you know and only after the suspect how
0:11:21 are we going but basically he says that
0:11:25 in his views and he looked at the world
0:11:27 some is markers one person I think who's
0:11:29 even Indian person yet and he said that
0:11:32 each each surah he called it the
0:11:36 steering Duff tells the next Iran which
0:11:39 is chatter LeBron is connected
0:11:41 intricately with the next chapters the
0:11:43 beginning and ending of the chapters are
0:11:44 connected and the ending of white
0:11:46 chapters connect it with the next
0:11:47 chapter
0:11:48 now this is really interesting because
0:11:50 if you think about it if you really
0:11:52 think about it how could it be arranged
0:11:55 in that way if you don't know what the
0:11:56 future is going to be simple question
0:11:58 how can you spend your time arranging
0:12:01 the Quran and a particular way if you
0:12:04 don't know what the future is going to
0:12:05 be I mean you want easy example one
0:12:06 thing suppose the fun happens with guide
0:12:10 us to the straight path the part of you
0:12:12 those of you are failures cattitude
0:12:14 starts with basically who then is not
0:12:16 appear which is the people USA ends with
0:12:18 good people as well this says you know
0:12:21 when what we learn in the same chatter
0:12:23 bus
0:12:23 justice unrelated littlez's mother and
0:12:26 chapter and so far that boxes work the
0:12:29 books of previous appearances until the
0:12:31 landfill air live with all our unique
0:12:33 session in the next chapter chapter
0:12:35 three includes other books Windsor r87
0:12:38 will happen so Tiffany Robin a day when
0:12:40 the two are two ng shows what the books
0:12:42 and the messages which are connected and
0:12:44 then at the end of the surah chapter 3
0:12:47 it looks once again about in SM America
0:12:50 where the many Romanian analytic film
0:12:54 about a particular topic which is called
0:12:56 Mohammed so it's all the dovetails you
0:12:59 could say well-connected entertaining in
0:13:01 such a way a whole necklace one of it is
0:13:04 intricately connected to the next part
0:13:07 were puzzled really all of it put
0:13:09 together perfectly to create the
0:13:12 overarching image as a question that you
0:13:16 can duck is and why did I happen to be
0:13:18 like that when the author of them or SEO
0:13:21 for the problems human being and listing
0:13:22 man who is in a situation to me
0:13:26 circumstantially and he was basically
0:13:29 forced to respond on the spot how could
0:13:32 it be that he had the time or even the
0:13:34 ability to connect it together
0:13:36 intimately this equation and you'll find
0:13:39 almost look no exception that the Quran
0:13:42 has this secretly you don't so the fact
0:13:47 I even sometimes a lot if you look at
0:13:49 social analysis as a one ago Quran which
0:13:51 we believe it was
0:13:52 despite its brevity it is the most
0:13:56 powerful slow Gibran if you look at this
0:13:58 salon it's composed of seven hands seven
0:14:00 area and in the southern had to find
0:14:03 that there are three different kinds of
0:14:06 reports first of all to like it talks
0:14:09 about God in the third person and then
0:14:11 it moves to second person narrative
0:14:13 voice and so it is interesting
0:14:15 transition or what you put an advocate
0:14:19 effect which is a little return come
0:14:22 back really
0:14:23 this insight is really interesting in
0:14:25 the second point is you'll find that
0:14:27 there are three different types of and
0:14:30 this is going to fail technical juggling
0:14:33 there but if you can just be patient a
0:14:35 little bit with absolutely no basically
0:14:39 you have generally think it's you
0:14:41 present sentence plasma advocating after
0:14:44 11:00 it's Leah Angeles Valley you have
0:14:47 a kind of like a normal sentence and you
0:14:50 have a resonance and first three ahead
0:14:53 of so the first half are to live near
0:14:56 there are three now sentence except and
0:14:59 the last three are Jewish family they
0:15:02 are bouncing the one in the middle is I
0:15:06 do it may I be hovering apartment at
0:15:08 it's basically a normal sentence with a
0:15:11 with a heart which is rare to be the
0:15:14 news of the of the census which is put
0:15:18 in in yoga the place all of this mean
0:15:21 there will be net and it goes back to
0:15:24 you while surviving in the proper was
0:15:28 awesome time
0:15:29 who are those people who have been
0:15:31 joined up because never in the desire we
0:15:32 get lost
0:15:33 absolutely lots of Possible's of Angela
0:15:37 they said Jewish people and
0:15:43 3:11 basically in terms of in the
0:15:46 Islamic theology is being that the
0:15:51 Jewish clergy of that type and this
0:15:54 trickle-down has a tendency to knowledge
0:15:57 not a job and not necessarily action so
0:16:03 there isn't any tracks prepare applying
0:16:06 all the number yeah and that you are as
0:16:09 narrated lightly and in general who are
0:16:13 Valley who are the ones who illustrate
0:16:16 so he replies the officiator while the
0:16:19 Cassini orbiter that but what they
0:16:20 believe in the Trinity and these
0:16:22 campaigns are completely irrational so
0:16:25 they haven't got any difficulty they
0:16:28 they they irrationally deplete on any
0:16:32 substantive knowledge okay it's a
0:16:34 basically here in the paralysis of
0:16:37 America John become almost emulsified
0:16:38 shut up to Merced River agree so we have
0:16:40 met may be of new ionization we're not
0:16:43 meant to be like all knowledge in no
0:16:46 action I will almost lure action in a
0:16:47 lot therefore come back to our sense of
0:16:51 the front the the structural completion
0:16:54 to look further being three murders
0:16:57 constructed of germanium and and some of
0:17:02 this may I means that there are normal
0:17:03 services and in our if you feed the
0:17:05 light basically it's very fishable for a
0:17:10 unholy percentage so they give you
0:17:12 knowledge and and other ones if you
0:17:15 haven't because it's verbal at first not
0:17:17 doing like that
0:17:18 and the one of the middle is kind of
0:17:19 like a combination book again
0:17:22 so in this several message of God in
0:17:25 both three verses which respectively our
0:17:29 knowledge base versus evil three verses
0:17:32 which are verbal verses yeah which are
0:17:35 doing kind of verses and you go one
0:17:37 verse that combines the two different
0:17:39 and that way the message and the message
0:17:44 and the structural composition of the
0:17:46 piranha call that Pincus or up in
0:17:49 incredibly matched now what you speak
0:17:51 you can't really think of doing this
0:17:52 it's difficult to do this think about it
0:17:55 someone is this pre-k time this speak
0:17:57 about and what telling and doing it a
0:17:59 lot I don't know how many times in one
0:18:01 night so it's very difficult for someone
0:18:04 this is the kind of thing in the
0:18:06 violence we find it incredibly difficult
0:18:08 to replicate and this goes back for our
0:18:10 inability challenge total disorder
0:18:12 diversity 111 the name of it again first
0:18:17 I can call your witnesses if you are
0:18:19 back to for this is what a process as a
0:18:22 bomb
