Salam, I have been debating with lots of your typical Atheists/Skeptics. And I saw this thread on Google+: https://plus.google.com/113502479599505264759/posts/d9j1UMgh3Tm

The main point here, specifically, is;
1: can anyone specifically tell me the stages as they are described in the Qur'an, about embryology? The main problem in this topic is that the Qur'an supposedly said Flesh are grown than bones, but science says Flesh and bones grow *simultaneously*.
2: ["Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant!
Qur'an 27:55"
Homosexuality was something that did not exist prior to the people of Lot.] Can anyone specify this statement? (Note: all in brackets are copied from wikiislam. I chose this anti islamic sites only because it is pretty convincing, prior to other lies it spews out.)
3: [I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, then will I crucify you all together. [Surah 7:124]
Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all. [Surah 26:49]
In the story of Joseph, about 400 years earlier we also read of another crucifixion in this passage:
O my two mates of the prison! as for one of you, he shall give his lord to drink wine; and as for the other, he shall be crucified, so that the birds shall eat from his head, the matter is decreed concerning which you inquired. [Surah 12:41]
We have, however, no record that Egyptians used crucifixion as punishment in the time of Moses (1450 BC, conservative date; 1200 BC at the latest) or even Joseph (1880 BC, conservative date). Crucifixion only becomes a punishment much later in history and then first in another culture before it has been taken over by the Egyptians. Such threats by a Pharaoh at these times are historically inaccurate.]
Thoughts?
These questions among others, are bringing to the brink of agnosticism, or even atheism if not answered. Thanks - anon
