Koran 16:45-47

16:45 Then, do those who have planned evil deeds feel secure that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that the punishment will not come upon them from where they do not perceive?

46 Or that He would not seize them during their [usual] activity, and they could not cause failure?

47 Or that He would not seize them gradually [in a state of dread]?

But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.

Koran 16:45-47

Muhammad spoke about Allah in the third person. This means this passage is not the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. Thus, Allah is false, imaginary, and fictional, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are nonsensical and false.

Can the ground open up during an earthquake? According to the US Geological Survey:

Shallow crevasses can form during earthquake-induced landslides, lateral spreads, or from other types of ground failures, but faults do not open up during an earthquake. An earthquake occurs when two blocks of the earth’s crust slide past one another after having been stuck together in one place for a long time, because of friction on the fault, while the rest of the crust away from the edges has been slowly moving. If a fault could open up, no earthquake would occur in the first place because there would be no friction locking the two blocks together.

I was surprised to learn that the earth wouldn’t swallow me up in an earthquake. So Muhammad’s claim that “the earth to swallow them” is false and an ignorant lie. After all, I’m refuting the Koran right here, and Allah has taken no action, despite my surviving several earthquakes.

Of course, there are sinkholes:

• Live Science – What are Sinkholes?
• National Geographic – Sinkhole;
• USGS – What is a sinkhole?
• Wikipedia – Sinkhole.

These three verses are three rhetorical questions by Muhammad, which show Allah doesn’t take any action, as Muhammad excuses Allah with his last sentence: “But indeed, your Lord is Kind and Merciful.” Note the “your Lord” instead of “Allah”. It’s easier to say it correctly than to get it wrong. There are enough earthquakes around the world every year that hurt the innocent, which shows that Allah is ineffectual, impotent and false.

The best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
