Ill educated personal insults do not clarify matters here. Cut and paste are so useful. I am not your "dear Thomas", that address is patronising and offensive. It is an insult.

Allah had no clue who is really Ptolemy Allah, we are told in the Koran, is all knowing and all wise. The Ptolemaic universe described in the Koran is inaccurate.

Galen in the Qur'an? really? where? References to human generation do nothing more than demonstrate Galen's abilities as an observer with nothing more than his unaided eyes and other sensory organs.

and much can be found which was taken from Gnostic and Apochryphal sources as well as canonical Jewish and Christian writings. Do you or do you not agree with this statement? Your answer is meaningless unless you agree that the Koran is of human authorship.

Istislam means submission so why is Islam is not called istislam? Any guesses? For the same reason as Allah is not Alillah. Useage causes words to change.

And what does Jesus have to do with the religion of the Arabs? Oh let me see: The Qur'an says that Jesus must be God right our dear Thomas? Jesus is one of the most named persons in the Koran. It does not state that Jesus must be God.

Incidentally, I am not your "dear Thomas" I could go on, but this is tedious.
