What To Do With the Dead
Basically, we need to start coming up with better ways to deal with our dead.
Modern Embryology in the Quran: 100% nonsense
Again a “scientific miracle in the Quran” is rather a miracle of historical ignorance, of stretched interpretation and of bold forgery.
This is a response video to “100% proof the Qur’an is The Word of God.” by Converted2Islam.

Converted2Islam has not approved my response yet.
The verse in question is 23:12-14 (Yusuf Ali):
12:
Man We did create from a quintessence (of clay);
13:
Then We placed him as (a drop of) sperm in a place of rest, firmly fixed;
14:
Then We made the sperm into a clot of congealed blood; then of that clot We made a (foetus) lump; then we made out of that lump bones and clothed the bones with flesh; then we developed out of it another creature. So blessed be Allah, the best to create!
Several translations of the Quran can be compared here:

What I Believe
Whoa! I’m sort of a philosophical Taoist consensualist existentialist scientific materialist! When you abandon religion it can get hard to describe what you are!
