Numerical contradictions

There are many numerical contradictions in the Quran. Can God make so much
error in doing simple calculations?

How many days did it take to create Heavens and Earth ?

Quran 7: 54 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/007.qmt.html#007.054> Your
gurdian-Lord is Allah who created the heavens and earth in Six Days

Quran 10: 3 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/010.qmt.html#010.003>Verily
your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in Six Days

Quran 11:7 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/011.qmt.html#011.007> He it is
Who created the heavens and earth in Six Days
Quran-25:29: He Who created the heavens and earth and all that is between,
in Six Days

The above verses clearly state that God created the heaven and Allah created
the heaven and the Earth in 6 days. But the verses below stated-

Quran 41: 9 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/041.qmt.html#041.009> Is it
that ye deny Him who created the earth in Two Days ?

Quran 41: 10 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/041.qmt.html#041.010> He set
on the (earth) Mountains standing firm high above it, and bestowed blessing
on the earth, and measured therein all things to give them nourishment in
due proportion, in FOUR DAYS…

Quran 41: 12 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/041.qmt.html#041.012> So He
completed them (heavens) as seven firmaments in Two days and …

Now do the math: 2(for earth) + 4(for nourishment) + 2 (for heavens) = 8
days; and not 6 days

Similar mistakes you can see in the verse: Quran 4: 11 -
12<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.011>,
and Quran 4: 176 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/004.qmt.html#004.176> in
inheritance law. In these verses one can see the total property after adding
all distributed parties adds up more than the available property, i.e.,
totals become more than 1 which are: 1.125 and 1.25. How come ? A gross
mathematical errors, is not it ?

Allah's Days Equal to 1000 Years or 50,000 Years?

Quran 22: 47 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/022.qmt.html#022.047> A day
in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousands years of
your rekoning

Quran 70: 4 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/070.qmt.html#070.004> The
angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is Fifty
thousands years.

So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or
50,000 earth years?
Creation of the Heaven and Earth

Which one was created first? As you will see in the verses below, Allah at
one time says that Earth was created first and another time he says that the
Heaven was created first.

Quran 2: 29 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.029>  It is
He who hath created for you all things that are on Earth; THEN He turned to
the Heaven and made them into seven firmaments (Skies)….

Quran 79: 27 - 30
<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/079.qmt.html#079.027>Are you the
harder to create, or is the heaven that He built? He raised the
height thereof and ordered it; and He has made dark the night thereof, and
He brought forth the morning thereof. And after that, He spread (flattened)
the earth

Now, does it match modern science? Do you believe that, Earth was created
first, after that, God created Heaven? Modern science tells us that? Or How
come SEVEN firmaments (layers)? Modern science tells us that, actually there
is no such thing Sky is no "roof" over us. It is only a space with no known
boundary at all. These verses simply reinforce the ancient idea of ROOF over
us which is called SKY, is it not so? How funny!
Sun-set and Sun-rise

Koran teaches us that the Sun sets in a muddy spring:

 Quran 18: 86 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/018.qmt.html#018.086> Till,
when he (the traveller Zul-qarnain) reached the setting-place of the Sun, he
found it going down into a muddy spring…

 Quran 18: 90 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/018.qmt.html#018.090> Till,
when he reached the rising-place of the Sun, he found it rising on a people
for whom We had appointed no shelter from it.

Serious scientific errors here! Firstly, it is scientifically accepted fact
that, the Sun never go down in a muddy spring. Secondly, this seems to
presuppose a FLAT Earth, otherwise how can there be an extreme point in the
West or in the East? A sunrise there would be basically just the same as at
any other place on this earth, at land or sea. It would still look as if it
is setting "far away". It does say, that he reached THE PLACE where the Sun
sets and in his second Journey the place where it rises.
A resting place for Sun!?

Quran 36: 38 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/036.qmt.html#036.038> And
the sun runneth on unto a resting place for him. That is the measuring of
the Mighty, the Wise.
Quran 36: 39 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/036.qmt.html#036.039> And
for the moon We have appointed mansions till she return like an old
shrivelled palm leaf.
Quran 36: 40  <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/036.qmt.html#036.040> It is
not for Sun to overtake the moon, nor doth the night outstrip the day. They
float each in an orbit.

Allah is indeed a big scientist. Where is sun and where is moon situated?
Can anybody tell me how they could collide/meet/overtake each other? Are the
sun and the moon neighbors to each other? I have the answer for this error:
Ancient Allah saw (bare eye observations) sun and moon traveling from east
to west seemingly in the same Sky area or same path, without colliding,
causing day and night etc. Allah hardly could imagine that all these
phenomena are simply due to Earth's rotation and NOT by Sun's rotation. Sun
is stationary for Earth, because earth is stuck in the sun's Gravity, like
we are stuck in earth's gravity. Allah never says any where in the whole
Quran that, EARTH ROTATES. Perhaps Allah could not feel earth's rotation.

A resting place for sun WAS CONFIRMED BY HADITHS?

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number
421<http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/054.sbt.html#004.054.421>
Sahih Bukhari Hadiths: Abzur Ghifari (ra) narrated: one day Prophet Mohammad
(pbuh) asked me, "Abzar do you know after setting where does Sun go?" I
replied, I do not know, only Allah's apostle can say better. Then Prophet
(SA) replied, "After setting, the sun remains prostrated under Allah's
Aro'sh and waits for Allah's command for rising again in the East. Day will
come when sun will not get permission to rise again and Qeyamot will fall
upon Earth".

Can anybody tell me what is it? It was the superstitious belief of ancient
people reflected in the Quran and Hadiths by Allah. A 10-year-old boy would
not tell such fairy tale story today.
Why Allah Created Stars!

Quran gives us further scientific knowledge by telling us that the stars
were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils:

Quran 67: 5 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/067.qmt.html#067.005> And We
have (from of old) adorned the lowest heaven (sky) with lamps, and We have
made such (Lamps as) missiles to drive away Satans…

Quran 37: 6-8  <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/037.qmt.html#037.006> We
have indeed decorated the lower heaven (sky) with beauty (in) the stars,
(for beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious Satans. So they
should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be
cast away from every side.

Thus, the stars are nothing but missiles to throw at devils so that they may
not eavesdrop on the heavenly council. Once again we find how Allah was high
on his superstitious weirdness.
Is Sky/Heaven A ROOF or Canopy Over the Earth?

Quran 21: 32 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/021.qmt.html#021.032> And We
have made the sky a roof withheld (from them). Yet they turn away from its
portents.

Quran 31: 10 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/031.qmt.html#031.010> He
hath created the heavens (Skies) without supports (pillars) that ye can see,
and hath cast into the earth firm Mountains/Hills, so that it quake not with
you; and He hath dispersed…

Quran 2: 22 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.022>: Who
has made the earth your couch, And the heavens (Sky) your canopy

Modern science tells us- whole thing around the earth is space and there is
no boundary even if we go Billions of light years away in all directions.
Questions are: When there is no sky above us then how in the world, it needs
pillars for support? Do we really have a roof above us? Is there a canopy
above the Earth? Is there anything called above or beneath us? Are mountains
there to prevent Earth from shaking? Give me a break!

Once again Allah considered sky as roof over the Earth, which will
broke/shattered during dooms day

Quran 78: 19 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/078.qmt.html#078.019> And
the heavens (sky) Shall be broken (opened) as if there were doors opens…

Quran 82: 1 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/082.qmt.html#082.001> When
the Sky is cleft asunder

Quran 69: 16 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/069.qmt.html#069.016> And
the sky will be Rent asunder, for it will That day be flimsy (soft)

Quran 81: 2 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/081.qmt.html#081.002> When
the stars fall, losing their luster.

Yousuf Ali comments in his Tafsir: beautiful blue-sky overhead (which we
take for granted in sunshine) will be shattered to pieces. Modern science
tells us that there is no such thing as roof/sky or any canopy over the
Earth; rather all around Earth is a limitless space. Only Allah knows what
will break/shatter or will get soft/flimsy or how doors will open , there is
no walls, where from doors will come? In some Ayats Allah threatened kafirs
by saying: "I (Allah) will throw broken pieces of sky over your head."
Does Sun Rotate Around the Earth?

Quran 31: 29 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/031.qmt.html#031.029> Seest
thou not that Allah merges Night into Day and He merges Day into Night; That
He has subjected the sun and moon (to His law), each running its course for
a term (time) appointed.

Quran 21: 33 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/021.qmt.html#021.033> It is
He who created The Night and Day, And the Sun and Moon; each of them Swim
(float) along in its own course.

Ayats mentioned above could be found over and over again and again almost in
every pages of Quran. Because, Allah standing in the open Arab desert saw
very well that, every morning SUN is rising from the East and gradually
(appointed time or fixed time) setting to the West, and as a result, day and
night follows. Allah truly mentioned this wrong knowledge (sun moving) of
pre-historic people. Every time Allah mentioned Sun & Moon, He mentioned day
& night, as if it is due to sun's movement day and night follows. But
surprisingly, all the hypocrite Mullahs giving false credit to Allah by
saying: look Quran told about sun's movement 1400 years ago which modern
science only found out now. In real world, sun takes 225 millions of years
to make just one complete circle through the solar Universe. And obviously
this movement of sun has nothing to do with DAY & NIGHT of the earth.
Actually, Sun is stationary in relation to the Earth, because the Earth is
stuck to the giant gravitation force of the Sun, and the Earth also moves
along with the Sun wherever it goes, just the way we are stuck to the
Earth's gravitation force and do not feel its movement at all.

Why then, Allah was telling the Sun's movement again and again. I have
already mentioned above, why Allah was hysteric about the Sun's movements.
Now dishonest Mullahs are claiming science here. I wonder, why Allah has to
mentioned about the Sun's 225 millions year journey (which is even
unimaginable to mankind) to tell about day and night? What relation Sun's
movement has with the day and night?
Does Earth Spread Out Like Carpet (flat)?

Quran 15: 19 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/015.qmt.html#015.019> And
the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon Mountains firm and
immovable;

Quran 78: 6-7 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/078.qmt.html#078.006> Have
We not made the earth as a wide expanse, And the mountains as pegs (anchor)?

Allah was sure that earth is flat like a carpet and mountains are there to
anchor the earth so that earth does not shake with us. Allah is really
merciful scientist.
Is Man Created From Clotted Blood?

Quran-23:14: Then fashioned We the drop (semen) a CLOT OF CONGEALED BLOOD
then fashioned We the Clot a little lump (foetus), fashioned We the little
lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, and then produced it
another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators. ( Bengali
translated Quran said: "Zamaa't Raokto theeke Manoosh banieesi" And this
Ayat has been repeated again and again throughout the Quran ) Quran-75:38:
Then he becomes a CLOT; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned…

Quran 96: 2 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/096.qmt.html#096.002> Created
man, out of a mere clot of congealed blood

There are serious scientific problems here:

Blood clot cannot grow into anything. This idea also came from the Greek.
Aristotle erroneously believed that, humans are originated from the action
of male semen upon female menstrual blood, which is absolutely an incorrect
assumption. Quran's assertion on Clot (alaqa) is completely wrong about
human development, since there is absolutely no stage during which the
embryo consists of a clot. The only situation in which an embryo might
appear like a clot is during a miscarriage, in which case the clotted blood
that is seen to emerge (much of which comes from mother) is solidified and
by definition no longer alive. Therefore, if ever an embryo appeared to look
like a clot it would never develop any further into a human; it would be a
dead mass of bloody miscarrying flesh. Since Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had
some thirteen wives it is entirely possible that he would be very familiar
with miscarriages.

Modern science tells us that, the formation of human embryo is a seamless
continuation from conception to birth; hence there are no hard- and- fast
boundaries of stages as Quran describes. Quran describes 4 stages, which
matches exactly with Galenic description of development of human embryo
(which was proved wrong by modern science).

Creation of bones and clothing of bones with flesh: According to modern
embryologists including Prof. Moore, the tissue from which bone originates,
known as mesoderm, is the same tissue as that from which muscle (flesh)
develops. Thus bone and muscles begin to develop simultaneously, rather than
sequentially (as the Quran is telling us). Moreover, most of the muscle
tissue that we humans have is laid down before birth, but bones continue to
develop and calcify (strengthen with calcium) right into one's teenage
years. So it would be more accurate if the Quran had said that muscles
started to develop at the same time as bones, but completed their
development earlier. The idea that bones are clothed with flesh is not only
scientifically completely wrong/false, but was directly copied from the
ancient Greek doctor Galen's hypothesis.

Also, the idea of saying: "made into bones and clothed the bones with
muscle" came from the technique of making animal statue out of rod and
cement or mud. People usually make the skeleton (out of rod or stick) first
and, then cover it up with cement or mud. This is scarcely a scientific
description of embryonic development. It is rather a description of an
unlettered man.
Is Religion Compulsive Or Is It Not?

Quran 02: 256 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002qmt.html#002.256> There
is no Compulsion in religion….

OR

Quran 9: 29 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html#009.029> Fight
those who do not profess the true faith(Islam) till they pay the polltax
(jiziya) with the hand of humility.

Quran 9: 5 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009qmt.html#009.05> Then, when
the sacred months have passed, slay the idolators wherever ye find them and
take them captive, and besiege them and prepare for them each ambush….

Quran 47: 4 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/047.qmt.html#047.004> When
you meet the unbelievers in the Jihad strike off their heads….

Quran 2: 191 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.191> And
slay (kill) them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they
have turned you out such is the reward of those who suppress faith.

Quran 8: 65 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/008.qmt.html#008.065> O
Apostle ! rouse the believers to the fight of….unbelievers.

Very often apologetics claim that, Islam is a religion of peace and there is
no compulsion. Yet punishment of an apostate in Islam is, of course, death
penalty.

In very many Ayats Allah claimed that, He has given this Quran in the easy
and clear language so that, it will not be difficult to understand by the
ordinary Arabs.

Quran 44: 58 <http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/044.qmt.html#044.058>Verily,
We have made This Quran easy in the tongue, in order that they may
give heed.

No matter which translated Quran we read, the Quranic materials remain the
same to us and every sentence is self explanatory and it does not take a
rocket scientist to comprehend what is the message Allah wanted to transmit
for Arabs. Yet, bigot Mullahs will always blame translators for Quranic
contradictions/errors/inconsistencies etc. and will try to find lame excuses
to cover up Allah's ignorance.
Comments:

The Holy Qur'an is full of inaccuracies, contradictions, inconsistencies,
redundancies, no chronology or chapters, grammatical errors, etc. One can
find hundreds of contradictions/errors/inconsistencies in the Holy Quran.
The above-mentioned Ayats are just selected samples from the Quran. But
still it is a miracle to those who are blindfolded bigot
