i said since the earth was known to be a sphere and rotates around the sun then why not mentioned in older books and even if it was mentioned in older books then their view was a speculation and philosophical one with no tangible evidence so to claim that the prophet used the philosophical views in the quran is a silly one.
What brings you to believe I can answer a question regarding what people were thinking 2000 years ago? I told you it was NOT commonly known and you turn my words around as "it was known". What tangible evidence for what? "the prophet" being which prophet? What view is a "philosophical views in the quran" and what would make it silly.
Why don't make a bit more sense by explaining what you are talking about? Putting riddles here does not help anyone. Thanks.

you didn't about heliocentric but you moved to the expanding universe
Correct. I am not in the habit of explaining the problem with the problem itself. That wouldn't make sense, would it?

The bible is also a holy book and the information in Isaiah 42:5: "Thus says God, the Lord, who created the heavens and stretched them out" was corrupted or mistranslated.
And the tangible evidence for this claim is: ......
Look, repeating something is not an explanation or evidence. It does not matter how many times you repeat it.

Did you see,you have called them myths. so how you claim that the quran got those scientific informations from those myths since Gigamesh and upward.
Yes, I called them myths. That's what you call something which is repeated often, but is the product of emotion and imagination.
I did not claim anything about how something originated in the Koran. I don't know.

i meant to say i don't know english language as much as you know and conversely i know arabic language much than you know.
Research what and you don't know anything about the arabic language.
i didn't mean to insult and accept my apology if it is understood to be so.
That was a quote by Michel De Montagaine which can apply on me and you and any one in our world,
search and understand well than just to be programmed to refuse anything which is religious.
Tell me something: does it really make much sense to ask me to translate something from Arabic to English when you know I don't speak Arabic?
You say you know Arabic but not whether you speak MSA or classic Arabic, whether you are a native speaker or whether you know just a few words. But regardless, it does not allow you to jump to conclusions when I write something.
How was I to know this was a quote from someone else? Anyway, I find it condescending, judgemental and wrong.
If you have any tangible evidence for anything of scientific interest in the Koran, which I consider to contain signs and not science, then please bring it up see if you can change my opinion.
