Scientific miracles
Yes I know that Muhammad(pbuh) wasnt living in a vacuum. When he would travel with caravans, he sometimes met Christian monks, not all the time, so am i supposed to believe that Muhammad(pbuh) learned everything about Judaism and Christianity in a few second. and yes Mohammad(pbuh) was illiterate, he may not have been for all his life, but I know that he was an illiterate man before becoming muslim, there are many verses of The Quran that informs us of that:
PICKTHAL(verse 7:157): Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him: they are the successful"
PICKTHAL(verse 7:158): Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah to you all - (the messenger of) Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth. There is no Allah save Him. He quickeneth and He giveth death. So believe in Allah and His messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, who believeth in Allah and in His Words, and follow him that haply ye may be led aright"
And thus (it is) that We have sent down the Book to thee. So the People of the Book believe therein, as also do some of these (pagan Arabs): and none but Unbelievers reject our signs. And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted.[29:47-48]
The last verse clearly says that he was unlettered before this book came to him.
Now I am not bringing up propaganda because I have not established my first three "proofs", think of it like a domino affect, I am bringing these verses to prove that verse 5:116 is not a mistake, the reason these verses will prove my point is that you can clearly see that these verses were not written by a human, but God, and everyone knows that God doesnt make mistakes. now when i presented verse 16:66, you said he could have gotten these information from ancient scientists, so therefore i presented to you verses that people at that time couldnt experiment with, all these verses are connected with each other, you cant really get a meaning of a verse making it out of context or by reading just that one verse, you have to read other verses with it so you can understand the first one better.
thank you.
