As i read up and try to understand Islam more i come across time and time again the saying that the Qu'ran is Perfect , perfect being Void of imperfections(mistakes).
However what started out as something i noticed where Sura 2:29 says the earth was created first and then heaven. then Sura 49:27-30 says the heaven was created first and then the earth was created, Led me to do a quick internet search to see if there were any other Numericle discrepincys

is what i came up with, Now i went through and chcked each verse manually to make sure these thing's existed (and i even checked the historicle ones...it toook agesss)
and i then found an Arabic reading friend and asked him to make sure they werent translation problems. The saint that he is kindly checked them and it turned out they werent
So in short, how can we claim the book is infallible...if it has this many historicle mistakes and Contradictions in it?
If these can be explaind away i will happily accept the claim of perfection, it's just that before i make the leap of changing my Faith and thus my Life, i want to know everything i can about it, ive a logicle mind i want to understand things before i take them as blind fact.
