Darwinian evolution received a fatal blow recently:

Because we have now mapped the entire genomes of both chimps and humans, we know the exact number of mutations that must have taken place since the last common ancestor, just over 20 million.
The problem for the theory of evolution by natural selection is that there hasn't been enough time for 20 million mutations to be fixed in our genomes. Not even nearly.
Number required: 20 million
Number possible: a couple of hundred
The mathematics doesn't work.
@RealShahriqKhan Things he saw as controversial or incompatible with his preconceptions of God (a Man can't be God, holy prophet can't be executed bc too humiliating, etc). Nearly all of the important biblical messages and nuances went straight over Muhammad's head.
@RealShahriqKhan The Quran is exactly what you'd expect it to be if an illiterate Arabian merchant overheard a bunch of Christian and Jewish stories and then tried to write his own version...making mistakes, overemphasizing the points that stand out to him (hellfire/judgment), and correcting....
@PixelBibleBytes If you haven't yet, check out "Orthodoxy" by GK Chesterton. It contains a brilliant chapter that lays out about 8 or 10 common self contradictory criticisms such as this.
SYRIA: A group of young Muslims entered the Christian town of Al-Suqaylabiyah in Hama and tried to rape Christian girls. Brave Christian men fought them and kicked them out.
They later returned with a government-backed mob, looted homes and properties, opened fire, and arrested several Christian men who they plan to execute.
This is daily life for Christians living under Islamic rule.
@Ashleyhays2089 No thanks. I'd prefer to agree with Paul that not all who are children of Abraham are inheritors of the promise of Abraham, but it's according to their faith.
The Qur'an we have is indistinguishable from the Qur'an we would have if an illiterate 7th century Arabian merchant with delusions of grandeur, who had also been exposed to Jewish and Christian teachings but not understood them, wrote his "revelations" down with no Divine help whatsoever.
@defense_civil25 What does that even mean? Does the nation trust Christ for its salvation? Does it love him? Does it obey his commands?
This use of the word "Christian" is very unclear
@Andercot It's not really a coherent question the way that you've worded it. Of Course translations are edited, and any book can be manipulated in its interpretation and application.
@cleobug101 If there were a lower supply of women willing to be nurses and teachers, the salaries would absolutely go up. Being paid absurd amounts of money requires absurdly niche and valuable skills, not common skills
@MatrixMysteries The problem is you can't use the word "dollar" for a unit of currency 30 years out, thinking that your current idea of a "dollar" is what that will be.
@Jvnior@lekan_olayinka1 The Quran is horribly written. Major portions don't make sense, and the parts that do contain contradictions and errors. There are tens of thousands of books that are much better written than the Quran that meet this challenge.
