False analogy. I can pinpoint the exact line in a textbook to explain why the formula is objectively true in correspondence with reality. Can you do the same with the Quran :hmm:
I can indeed, the question is do I want to?
Here is a formula from the Quran taught in universities:
[SIZE=-1]Surah Nisa chapter 4 verses 11 and 12:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Allah (swt) (thus) directs you as regards your childrens (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah; and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. [Al-Quran 4:11-12][/SIZE]

ISLAMIC INHERITANCE
MATHEMATICS
A major Arab mathematician named Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi wrote an influential textbook in about 820 called Hisab al-jabr w’al-muqabala (Calculation by Restoration and Reduction) that is known today as the Algebra. This book was the starting point for Arab work in algebra, and it is credited for giving the subject its name. Al-Khwarizmi was probably born in Soviet Central Asia but he did most of his work in algebra in Baghdad, where he was an astronomer and head of the library at the House of Wisdom.
Al-Kwarizmi was a Muslim and the second half of his book Algebra contains problems about the Islamic law of inheritance. According to the law, when a woman dies her husband receives one-quarter of her estate, and the rest is divided among her children so that a son receives twice as much as a daughter. If the woman chooses to leave money to a stranger, the stranger cannot receive more than one-third of the estate without the approval of the heirs. If only some of the heirs approve, the approving heirs must pay the stranger out of their own shares the amount that exceeds one-third of the estate. Whether approved by all heirs or not, the stranger’s share must be paid before the rest is shared out among the heirs.
Here is an
example problem from Al-Kwarizmi’s Algebra:
A woman dies leaving a husband, a son, and three daughters. She also leaves a bequest consisting of 1/8 + 1/7 of her estate to a stranger. She leaves $224,000. Calculate the shares of her estate that go to each of her beneficiaries.
Solution: The stranger receives 1/8 + 1/7 = 15/56 of the estate, leaving 41/56 to be shared out among the family.
The husband receives one-quarter of what remains, or 1/4 of 41/56 = 41/224.
The son and the three daughters receive their shares in the ratio 2:1:1:1 so the son’s share is two fifths of the estate after the stranger and husband have been given their bequests and each daughter’s share is one fifth. (2+1+1+1=5).
If the total estate is $224,000, the shares received by each beneficiary will be:
Stranger: 15/56 of $224,000 = $60,000.
Husband: 41/224 of $224,000 = $41,000.
Son: 2/5 of ($224,000 - 101,000) = $49,200.
Each daughter: 1/5 of ($224,000 - 101,000) = $24,600.
TOTAL = $224,000.
YOUR PROJECT:
1. Solve the following Islamic law inheritance problem.
A woman’s estate totals $72,000. She dies leaving a husband, two sons and two daughters. In her will, she leaves a bequest of 1/9 + 1/6 of her estate to a stranger. Calculate how much of her estate each of her beneficiaries will receive.
2. Write out all of your calculations.
3. Check to make sure your beneficiary sums equal the total estate.

if you are looking for a true formula then, there you go, however, the Quran isn't merely a book of formulas,
it is a book of signs that covers all facets of man's life, politics, economics, social structure, beliefs, inheritance, spirituality, poetry, psychology, numerology and the after life. Based on that book the greatest empires in the world have implemented the most laws!
How is that for objectivity in true correspondence with reality?

The problem with Hell that I am raising is that people are sent to Hell for not believing in Islam (or whatever religion is proposing some sort of Hell).
That isn't the only reason to be sent to hell, although it is reason enough, I have already quoted from the Quran that if a person truly didn't know about Islam then they wouldn't be held accountable!
As for your quotes, don't you see the problem in saying 'I warned you but I gave you no reason why this warning should be true'. And no, formulas aren't as valid as Islam unless you can put Islam into a formula that everyone with the ability to read the it is going to agree.
see first paragraph!
all the best
eace: that the whole point of belief you are using it to rely on believing unseen things.
