1. Good to know.
2. See this is the bullshyt you deal with when debating religious people. So the "most high" conveniently gave a snake the ability to talk just like he conveniently erased any evidence of a global flood (while leaving out millions years old fossils and remains unrelated to it but thta's another story
). And a parrot cannot hold a conversation with a human, merely mimic sounds it already heard. Does a snake even have the ability to mimic sounds?
3. The quran isn't any less consistent than the bible
And consistency shouldn't matter when speaking of unproven things. A text could be very consistent internally but doesn't mean it should be treated as fact either. You still need to prove those things happened other than 'well, it's written in the bible'.
4. Such as? You know I can do that for pretty much any religious or even non-religious text and interpret them as "predictions". Even if it accurately predicted them, it still wouldn't absolve them from the blatant
in it.
