Does Islam permit marriage to pre-menarcheal girls? TheRationalizer 2011-05-09 | LearnQuranicArabic issued a Quran challenge. I met the challenge suggesting that the Quran suggests marriage (and sex) to pre-menstrual girls can be inferred to be permitted from verse 65:4 - and that the removal of part of a sentence would remove that possibility. He claims to have refuted my claim, but has not. This video explains why.

Angels are made of light - Pwned in under 90 seconds TheRationalizer 2011-02-17 | Here are just a few scientific problems with the Islamic claim that angels are made of light. The bomb dropped on Hiroshima, Japan during world war II was constructed of 60KG of Uranium 235. Although only about 1.38% of its material created the resulting explosion it produced a blast of approximately 13 kilotons of TNT and instantly killed tens of thousands of people. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_and_Nagasaki Let's assume a measly 60KG angel. Because light is pure energy E=mc^2 says that this would be E=60 * 299792458^2 which is five quintillion, three hundred and ninety-two quadrillion, five hundred and thirty-one trillion, seventy-two billion, four hundred and twenty million, nine hundred and five thousand, eight hundred and forty joules 5,392,531,072,420,905,840 joules there are 4.184 * 10^12 joules in 1 kiloton of TNT, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent 5,392,531,072,420,905,840 / 4184000000000 = 1,288,846 Kilotons of TNT This means that converting 60KG into pure energy would result in a 1,288,846 kiloton explosion, or a bomb... 99,141 times bigger than the one dropped on hiroshima. But Gabriel wasn't the only angel Muhammad said visited the Earth. The Quran says that God sent angels to fight in battles along side Muslims. Chapter/Verse 8:9 - One thousand angels. 3:124 - Three thousand angels. 3:125 - Five thousand angels. 5,000 angels is equivalent of a bomb 495,709,946 times bigger than the one dropped on Hiroshima.
Why do people laugh at Islam? TheRationalizer 2010-11-06 | As with just about every topic in the Quran the information is spread all over the place, as if Muhammad (sorry, "Allah") was reminding people of a conversation he had with them the day before, but if you take notes as you read and then collate them you find the most unusual stories - such as this one about how on judgement day parts of our bodies will speak out against us and testify as to what we did....to an all knowing god....who already knows.
Debunked: Makkah The Miraculous Golden Ratio City The Secret Of Kaaba TheRationalizer 2010-10-12 | A quick remake of an old video I previously took down. This is the claim I debunk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19zUWMCJTnE Straight to the point. If there were a miracle to see here then the golden ratio point on Earth would be the tip of the Kaaba, the place where Allah supposedly told Abraham and Ishmael to build a temple around a black stone he allegedly game to them. It would NOT be 276KM away in the middle of nowhere. If you are a Muslim who believes this miracle claim, then you must believe that Allah is the God of "close enough". What an insult.

The Quran and the speed of light : Islamic miracles investigated TheRationalizer 2010-08-06 | UPDATE: Someone ran a simulation using n-body (considered by many to be the de-facto standard on orbital simulation routines). The result was that the velocity of the Moon varied by +/- 0.06% depending on the position of the Moon as the Sun was removed. 0.06% is a mere 1/166th of the required 10% that the bogus cosine(26.928) removes. The conclusion from the physicists on the forum was that this is merely numerology and has no basis in physics at all. The link to the physics forum discussion is here: http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=3048263#post3048263 === This video investigates the claim that the speed of light is indicated in The Quran. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06NRxaRi1pw http://speed-light.info/speed_of_light_12000.htm http://www.speed-light.info/angels_speed_of_light.htm http://www.submission.org/miracle/speed.html http://www.kaheel7.com/eng/index.php/astronomu-a-space/249-speed-of-light-in-holy-quran Personally I'd have just written 299,792,458 as the first text in the book but no, apparently for some reason god (aka "Allah") decided to make it really quite convoluted - and also suspiciously fabricated. Note: Try this simple sum Hours in sidereal month * 12 months / 24 hours per day = Days in year. 655.71986 * 12 / 24 = 327.85993 There isn't a single calendar on Earth with only 328 days in a year, especially not the Islamic calendar. That's why Sidereal hours in a month * 12 is wrong. ===Idiotic comments=== "For example slowing the moon down by half should result in half of the speed of light." That's not true. The moon only slows down if ocean friction transfers Earth's rotational kinetic energy to the moon. The moon would recede and Earth day would increase but the ratio Lunar Orbits/ Earth Day remains unchanged. -Wormhole199
The Quran - Muhammads geocentric universe TheRationalizer 2010-06-06 | If you read the Quran objectively and take notes as you go along a number of things become quite clear. One of them is that the author of the Quran believed that the Sun orbited the Earth, just as most other people did during the 7th century.
