There are some really smart and influential atheists, and then there are ignorant atheists who criticize religion out of anger or their personal view on religion being irrational. I understand most of you guys on this forum are not religious, but to tell people they're wrong with whole belief is just ignorant. What if in the end the notion behind Islam and other religions is right and you're wrong? Prove me and the billions of other religious people wrong through science. Everything is a theory nowadays.
The word that is used most often in the Quran is "knowledge." Through knowledge man will come to understand existence. The Quran has scientific information and revelations that have left me speechless. Research the proofs in the Quran, proofs that were unheard of 1400 years ago, and even through this century, for example:
“We took the Children of Israel across the sea: Pharaoh and his hosts followed them in insolence and spite. At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: ‘I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to Allah in Islám).’ (It was said to him): 'Ah now!- But a little while before, wast thou in rebellion!- and thou didst mischief (and violence)! This day shall We save thee in thy body, that thou mayest be a sign to those who come after thee! But verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Signs!’” (Quran 10:90-92)
Here's the body of Ramses the Second, almost completely recognizable:
