The real "Book" is factual...The Bible is an anvil on which many hammers have been broken. However, its enemies never tire of attempting to make some impression on it.
The Jewish-Christian Bible is a journal-like record of creation, including of the earths initial conditions. It is obvious that only the Bible is both supernaturally accurate and inspired. The Bible correctly describes creation from the standpoint of astrophysics and geophysics. It also summarizes the sequence of changes through which the Earth came to be inhabited by fallen angels, living things (dinosaurs and the like), and ultimately by humans. The Bibles' order and its description of creation perfectly matches established records of nature. God's direction to Joshua and Israel to wipe out tribes already present in Israel was due to God's great love for humanity. Fallen angels had mixed with women and created a perverted race, many of whom were giants. God simply desired that this mixed half human/half fallen angel gene pool be weeded out from the human genes.
God walks in many dimensions:
Hebrews 11:3 speaks of a transcendent creation (from beyond our known dimension) when it states that the universe that we humans can measure and detect was made from that which we cannot measure or detect. At least 12 verses in the Bible makes a claim that the universe is being "stretched out", or expanding - which one would expect were there a "Big Bang" creation. Job 9:8, Isaiah 44:24 and 45:12 repeatedly say that it is God alone who is responsible for this cosmic "stretching". The Bible also holds the formula for "Pi", and more. See here. http://www.bibleprobe.com/pi.htm
If the Qur'an is a true miracle of God - why is it so muddled with historical, scientific and other errors, including simple math? Wouldn't we expect an all-knowing Allah to be better student of history, science and math? If there is but one error in the Qur'an, how can it be inspired by God?
Muhammad had obviously heard some Bible stories, but he seems to have got them confused and mixed up when it came out in his prophetic utterances. It is quite apparent that the Qur'an is simply the product of hearsay and imperfect editing from a plurality of traditions then known to Muhammad.
When Muhammad was growing up, there existed two heretic branches of Christianity in Arabia which many arabs embraced. These were the Ebionite and Nestorian branches. Muhammad's first wife's (Khadija) cousin, Waraga bin Neufel was a pastor of the Ebionite Church in Mecca. Both of these branches falsely taught that Jesus Christ was not divine. This heretic pastor actually performed the marriage of Muhammad to Khadija. Also, many reports indicate only the Gospel of Matthew was translated into Arabic during this time. This information is given to show you where the human Muhammad got his false teachings about Jesus, the Trinity, and Christianity.
The stories in the Qur'an relating to events described in the Bible contradict the Bible in many points. It is quite apparent that Muhammad took much of what he taught from the Samaritan Pentateuch and the Psalms. Muhammad shows no knowledge of their prophetic or historical writings, however.
The formula "There is no God but the One" is an often recurring refrain in Samaritan liturgies. The similarity of the Muslim proclamation "There is no God but Allah" is very interesting. Also of note the opening chapter of the Qur'an is known as the Fatiha (meaning opening, or gate). The Samaritan's also have a prayer which is also considered a succinct confession of faith that begins with the words: "Amadti kamekha al fatah rahmekha". This means "I stand before thee at the gate of thy mercy". The Samaritan word for the opening or gate is "fatah".
In Surah 18:10-27 we see that Muhammad regurgitated the early Christian Rip Van Winkle-like myth/legend historians know as the "Seven Sleepers of Ephesus" from around the 250's AD. This is a legend about 7 noble Christian youths who took refuse in a cave while fleeing persecution during the rein of the Roman Emperor Decius. Their lives were miraculously saved because they fell into a deep sleep for almost 200 years. Typical of Muhammad's inattention to any literary or historical detail, Muhammad's Surah has them sleeping for 300-309 years. Surah 18:25 - So they stayed in their Cave three hundred years, and (some) add nine (more).
Behold, the youths betook themselves to the Cave: they said, "Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!" Then We draw (a veil) over their ears, for a number of years, in the Cave, (so that they heard not):... Surah 18:10-11

Scientific blunders in the Qur'an (Koran): #9
Scientific blunders in the Qur'an (Koran):
The Qur'an claims to be free from internal discrepancies. "Will they not then ponder on the Qur'an? If it had been from other than Allah they would have found therein much incongruity." (Noble Qur'an Surah 4:82) Surely, nothing less than perfect is expected from God. But, let's go on a journey through the Qur'an and peek at the evidence against this claim.
Islamic scholars in Egypt and Saudi Arabia agree with Muhammad, that lightning and thunder are two angels. Muhammad, the prophet of Muslims, claims that the thunder and the lightning are two of God’s angels—exactly like Gabriel! Baydawi comments on verse 13 of the chapter of the Thunder in the Qur'an:
"Ibn Abbas asked the apostle of God about the thunder. He told him, ‘It is an angel who is in charge of the cloud, who (carries) with him swindles of fire by which he drives the clouds."’
The Qur'an teaches that the world is flat. This doctrine is believed by a great many Islamic scholars even today. The Jewish/Christian Bible revealed that the earth is round in Isaiah 40:22 and via Job (26:7). Speaking of God in Isaiah 40:22, the Jewish/Christian Bible says; "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. Funny isn't it, that the Bible said the earth was a "circle", even when everyone believed the earth was flat". Job 26:7 says, "He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing".
- In many places, the Qur'an alludes to the fact that the earth is flat and its mountains are like poles which create a balance so that the Earth does not tilt. See Qur'an, Suras 79:30 (And the Earth after that He(Allah) FLATTENED it.; and 18:47 (and you will see the earth a leveled plain).
Qur'an Surah 79:30 says:
Wa Al-Arda bada Zalika DaHaaHaa, which means:
And the Earth after that He (Allah) FLATTENED it.
With regards to Surah 79:30, " Dahaahaa " does NOT mean " shape like an egg ". It is appalling that some dishonest Muslim apologists actually have the audacity to dishonestly cheat non-Arabic speakers to such an extent. So if concisely translated, Surah 79:30 should read as “And the Earth after that He (Allah) Spread out like a carpet and Flattened it.”
The Arabic word for egg is " Baidah " and NOT " Dahiyah " . There is NO such Arabic word as " Dahiyah ". " "Dahaahaa " actually means " FLATTEN ". And the concise meaning of “Dahaahaa” is “Spread out like a carpet and Flattened”. This points to a clear scientific error in the Quran. The word “Dahiyah” is a word that comes from one of the NON-Arab tribes of North Africa. It is definitely NOT an Arabic word and NOT a word that comes from the Arabian Peninsula or Muhammad’s tribe.
Surah 10:5 says
Huwa Al-Ladhī Ja`ala Ash-Shamsa Điyā'an Wa Al-Qamara NURon Wa Qaddarahu Manāzila Lita`lamū `Adada As-Sinīna Wa Al-Ĥisāba Mā Khalaqa Allāhu Dhālika 'Illā Bil-Ĥaqqi Yufaşşilu Al-'Āyāti Liqawmin Ya`lamūna which means "It is He Who made the sun to be a shining brightness and THE MOON TO BE A LIGHT, and measured out stages for her; that you might know the number of years and the count (of time). Nowise did Allah create this but in truth. (Thus) doth He explain His Signs in detail, for those who understand."
The Arabic word “Qamara” means “Moon” and “NUR” means “LIGHT”. “Al-Qamara” means “The Moon”. Surah 10:5 CLEARLY says ALLAH MADE THE MOON A LIGHT.
The word “NUR” means “Light” and it does NOT AT ALL mean “reflected light”. Anyone who knows Arabic knows that. If it does, then in the Arabic text of Surah 24:35, Allah is himself a reflected light ! Is any muslim apologist willing to accept such an insult, degradation and blasphemy to Allah ?? Also, if as according to the LIES of muslim apologists, “NUR” means “reflected light” which it does NOT, then in the Arabic text, Surahs 2:257, 4:174, 5:16, 5:46, 6:1, 6:122, 7:157, 9:32, 33:43, 33:46, 35:25, 42:52, 57:9, 61:8, 64:8 make absolutely no sense at all and make the already absurd Qur'an even more absurd, ridiculous and erroneous.
Surah 10:5 is a clear scientific MISTAKE in the light of modern science. The moon is NOT a light and does NOT give out its own light ! The moon reflects light from the sun. Of course, the Qur'an does not mention this at all because Muhammad did not know this.

- The Qur'an teaches that the sun sets into a Muddy Spring on earth. According to Surah 18:86, the sun literally sets into a muddy spring or a black sea here on Earth, and Surah 18:90 mentions a specific place on Earth where the sun rises. Many Muslims try and say about this absurdity "oh this is poetic". Nice try, it cannot be dismissed as figurative language or poetic, because it is given as part of an historical narrative.
The Qur’an says that one of the righteous men of God’s servants saw the sun set in a certain place of the earth—in particular a well full of water and mud. There, this man found some people. Let us read what is recorded in the Qur’an (chapter "the Cave", Surah 18 verse 86). "Until when he reached the place where the sun set, he found it going down into a black sea, and found by it a people. We said: O Zulqarnain! either give them a chastisement or do them a benefit. ".
Zamakhshari remarks in his book, "the Kash-shaf",
"Abu Dharr (one of Muhammad’s close companions) was with Muhammad during the sunset. Muhammad asked him: ‘Do you know, O Abu Dharr where this sets?’ He answered: ‘God and His apostle know better.’ Muhammad said: ‘It sets in a spring of slimy water"’ (3rd Edition, Volume 2 p. 743,1987).
In his book, "The Lights of Revelation" (p. 399), the Baydawi indicates, "The sun sets in a slimy spring; that is, a well which contains mud.
Why were stars created? In Surah 67:5 we read that the stars were created to be thrown at devils (Shaitans).
