I found this picture in the booklet that was given to me when I asked about evidence for the existence of god, specially the god of Islam.
The booklet is called : A brief illustrated guide to understanding Islam. Go to chapter 1 (Some evidence for the truth of islam) and you will find a picture of an embryo and a piece of chewed gum. This immediately got my attention; what in the world does an embryo that seems to look like a piece of gum have anything to do with anything.
If you think that the catholics are ridiculous for their apparitions of the virgin mary from toast to oil stains, then you certainly havent heard of what muslims believe to be proof of their faith.
According to the booklet, the word mudghah is a stage of how babies grow after they are blood cloths. The arabic word mudghah means ‘chewed substance’. So if we take a pieace of gum and compare it to an embryo, it is self evident that it “somewhat resembles teethmarks in a chewed substance” they continue with “how could muhammead have possibly known all this about fourteen hundred years ago, when scientists have only recently discovered this using advanced equipment and powerful microscopes which did not exist at the time?”
There you have it, Embryos look like chewed gum.. therefore the Koran is right!. And I used to think that new earth creationists had their logic wrong….
Doesn’t the embryo also look a little like a curled finger, perhaps in the act of clutching straws?
There is indeed a million things that a piece of gum can look like. I wonder how many times they had to check the piece of gum to make sure it looked like an embryo and had to ‘re-chew’ to get it just right.
