===Ignoring classical interpretations=== | ===Ignoring classical interpretations=== | ||
There are already accepted interpretations in the tafsirs (of Ibn Kathir, al-Jalalayn..). The tafsirs are basing their interpretation on comparing the verses with other verses and on interpretations of the early Muslims and scholars. So how can a new interpretation be better? The apologists usually don't put any effort into disproving the classical interpretations. As long as apologists don't prove that the classical interpretation is wrong, they can't claim that the miracle claim is definitely there. | There are already accepted interpretations in the tafsirs (of Ibn Kathir, al-Jalalayn..).

==="Man can't write it, therefore Allah wrote it"=== | |||
This fallacy is committed many times by Muslim apologists (the same fallacy is committed in "bring sura like it" challenge). They assume that if a text can't be written by mere humans (which is already baseless assumption), then the only author could have been god. While there are many possible supernatural beings. Like Satan, or jinn, or other beings that are more powerful than human and could have known what humans discovered much later. | |||
===Using impressive fancy words=== | ===Using impressive fancy words=== | ||
Sometimes apologists use a scientific word that sounds impressive to people who don't know science (and the meaning of the word), but in reality the meaning of the word is primitive. And this way apologists create a false impression that Quran talks about complicated science in people who don't understand science. For example [[Isotropy in the Quran Miracle|the Isotropy miracle]]. | Sometimes apologists use a scientific word that sounds impressive to people who don't know science (and the meaning of the word), but in reality the meaning of the word is primitive.
