[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]- The greatest human achievement has been that the preservation of the Quran[/b]. There are people who have studied 7th century Arabic very well and they need to be involved in the reform/renovation. -Given the ambiguous nature of the the language of Arabic, it should be understood that verses can be reinterpreted in light of new knowledge. [/quote] HA! So, not the polio vaccine? Not airflight? Not space travel? Not eradicating the bubonic plague? But then of course Yusuf would say that, wouldn't he. That job security thing. Living in a state with modern healthcare and conveniences would do that. The Quran could have been less preserved, and the humankind would have trotted on just fine. Of course, "preservation" doesn't mean "correctness", you know. One can be 100% authentic and 100% wrong.[/quote]
