(1) Stop plagiarizing the work of Dr. Zakir Naik.

(2) "Only based on historical details it is difficult for someone who is neither conversant with Christianity or Islam to come to a firm decision as to which of the scriptures is true" is a false dichotomy. Both of them could be false.

(3) The Bible actually does not describe the creation of the universe in six days. It describes the arrangement of pre-existing materials into the shape of the known universe in six days. It actually says nothing about the creation of spacetime or of matter.

(4) The word ayyaam means the same thing as the Hebraic word yom, which is the word used for "day" in Genesis 1.1-2.3. As far as I can tell, there is no reason to suppose the same word meant different things in the Koran and Bible.

(5) The disproval of the Bible creation story of the Sun, Earth, and Moon does nothing to establish the validity of the Koran's version. This error in reasoning is caused by the false dichotomy I shown in (2).

... I could continue showing problems with your posts but I can't be bothered to do so. I'm sure many of the members here have heard this load of bollocks before. I shall only point one more thing out: eisegesis is not nearly as reliable as exegesis and your entire argument relies on eisegesis and logical fallacies.
