I have moved a discussion to this thread which exposes the blatant ignorance and inability of one anti-islamist to provide evidence to support his claim. The reader will observe how the anti-islamist, mansio, simply repeats his allegation (a logical fallacy known as argumentum ad nauseam) without provide any proof to back up his assertion (namely, that the Qur'an contains a man-made story) and makes numerous other logical fallacies in the process. If mansio tries to lie low and resurface in other threads with the same allegations, as he has done in the past, we will challenge him to return to this thread and substantiate his claim, which he will never be able to do. This discussion he initiated will serve as an example of his own incompetence.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Surely I was sent to perfect the qualities of righteous character" [Musnad Ahmad, Muwatta Mâlik]
Sorry for not being clear; let me explain what I meant:
You believe in god.
You believe god can perform miracles.
You believe ('on the basis of logic and evidence') that the Qur'an was written by god, and is therefore true.
The Qur'an contains descriptions of miracles.
You believe they happened because
You believe in god and
You believe god can perform miracles.
That reasoning seems to be circular. Have I understood you correctly?
I can't speak in other persons places, but personally I believe the othe rway around, it would go something like this:
I recognise the Qur'an as being devine.
Therefor I Believe both in the existance of the mentioned God as well as in his capability of performing miracles. Because the Qur'an is a miracle by itself and it contains miracles within it and it mentions other miracles that happens in the past (I only put in that third one to stress that those miracles weren't the ones the first two are refering to).
But, that's only the "logical reasoning" part. My biggest source of faith is still my feeling not my logic, the two just go well together. Like I've repeatedly said on this forum, on the end of the day, personal expierience goes a long way.
