==Scientific Errors==


Hi. That page uses title-case for capitalization of headings[http://wikiislam.net/wiki/WikiIslam:Standardization#Section_headings]. And there should not be multiple Qur'an translations used to illustrate a single error (i.e choose only one translation from the USC site). Both those errors were in your first edit to the page but I fixed them[http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Scientific_Errors_in_the_Qur%27an&diff=102143&oldid=102140]. You have repeated those same errors in your second edit. You will have to fix them before your edits can be considered. Thanks.

:I've reverted your edit again. You are aware this talk page discussion has been initiated. If you do not understand something here, the answer is not to reinsert whatever was reverted with a summary saying "btw I don't understand". That's basically ignoring this talk page. If you don't understand something then ask. [[User:Sahabah|--Sahabah]] ([[User talk:Sahabah|talk]]) 19:07, 9 January 2014 (PST)

== Inheritance Laws ==


I thought I'd ask you since you've been interested in the errors/contradictions topics. Inheritance laws ([[Scientific_Errors_in_the_Qur%27an#Mathematical_Error_in_Hereditary_Laws]]) have had some responses like [http://www.khalidzaheer.com/qa/615] and [http://www.call-to-monotheism.com/the_inheritance_law__by_ansar_al__adl].

Do you know how to respond to these rebuttals and see if there's anything to investigate here?  --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 17:56, 12 March 2014 (PDT)

Once again the addition you added [http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Scientific_Errors_in_the_Qur%27an&curid=9078&diff=107595&oldid=107587] is not an error in my opinion. Its just describing what things look like to humans (aesthetically). The verse literally does not mean "the moon is placed between the seven layers". It is talking about what it looks like to humans.

The seven layers is an error, that we know (and that error is present on the page I think) but the "moon is among them" just means what it appears to people on Earth. Lightyears if you see this, any thoughts on this addition? --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 16:06, 23 May 2014 (PDT)

Here's a blog that has some "refutations" of a small amount of errors. [http://quran-errors.blogspot.com/] These should be checked and used to further strengthen [http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Scientific_Errors_in_the_Qur%27an our page] (without needing to specifically mention this blog). --[[User:Axius|Axius]] <span style="font-size:88%">([[User_talk:Axius|talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Axius|contribs]])</span> 04:17, 14 June 2014 (PDT)

:*'''Universe contracting/Heaven is from Smoke:''' Why talk about galaxys and gas clouds? The verse says earth and heaven were coming together (and talking to Allah). Earth is as old as Galaxies? Nope.

::::::::: Hey guys, In the past yeah we have thought about doing that. Saggy - Removing multiple points on the site, rewriting sections, adding additions etc - I would say is big change to the article, In my post no where have I asserted you changed the article because of me or anything alike. I simply detailed that I recently checked out the page and that you had added that on the top of the page and removed some points, some of which I had written about, hence rendering those posts on my blog now void.
