The book provided visuals and you are entitled to your "opinion", but it is clutching at straws etc. won't do. If you don't agree be more specific. Otherwise, you would lose the moral ground of criticizing religious people who reject evolution or other scientific things.
I wonder if that was clutching at straws then what the theory that man evolved from ape-like animal is!
Haven't made up my mind yet.

The first line sums it up pretty well. "we created man from clay". I am pretty sure I have no clay DNA in me.
The second part of suspended in a place. Again thats like a horoscope. It could mean Man was in caves, it could mean in trees, it could mean anything you want it to mean. Thats the point really.
Again with the chewed substance line. It kinda looks like something is chewed so therefore god is right. Its taking a passage and applying what you want it to mean to it. I found that hilarious by the way. You could say the same about prawns looking like a fetus. But thats not in the Quoran.
No mention of why fetus's have gills, no mention of how similar humans, chickens, dolphins etc look so similar when they are embryos. (Heckles embryos, a creationist favorite argument that has been disproved so many times.) Its a nice story, but thats all it is, a story.

The second part you suggested very bizarre interpretations. Lets just take this for a moment assuming Quran was written by man. We created man from clay and suspended him to trees (pathetic), to caves (pathetic still). Deny if you like but its no horoscope its common sense that reference is to the womb. Suspension to the uterine wall. A suggestion is good enough. God was not teaching us science he was telling us what we were, and yet we show arrogance in accepting Him.
And you can't criticize Quran for not having this, not telling that, not saying how, etc.
So, the only objection that remains is man was made from clay. I'll deal with that as well shortly.
Haven't made up my mind yet.

How is it? It could mean that God made man from clay then held him in heaven until the world was safe for him. As he loved man so much. Waiting for the dinosaurs to die off so man could inherit the earth.
See its so easy to attach the verse to whatever I want it to be attached to.
The mountains passage is equally as vague.

Ok, I'll agree for argument's sake that man could be suspended everywhere. What about the reference to other stages? Was the chewed form, and other forms also reference to something else. They have been specifically mentioned as to how man has been created. Its certain that the verses are not so vague as you make them to appear.
Haven't made up my mind yet.

OK lets look at Quran verses. They are the word of Allah and cannot be wrong or contradictory?
25:54 It is He Who has created man from water: then has He established relationships of lineage and marriage: for thy Lord has power (over all things).
[11:61] To Thamoud we sent their brother Saaleh. He said, "O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. He initiated you from the earth, then settled you in it. You shall seek His forgiveness, then repent to Him. My Lord is always near, responsive."
[19:67] Did the human being forget that we created him already, and he was nothing?
[38:71] Your Lord said to the angels, "I am creating a human being from clay.
[35:11]GOD created you from dust, then from a tiny drop, then He causes you to reproduce through your spouses. No female becomes pregnant, nor gives birth, without His knowledge. No one survives for a long life, and no one's life is snapped short, except in accordance with a pre-existing record. This is easy for GOD.
[30:19] He produces the live from the dead, and produces the dead from the live, and He revives the land after it had died; you are similarly resurrected.
OK so here we have from the Quran life being created from dust, earth, water, clay, nothing and dead people. Which one is it?

Kind of a belated response, but:
"YOU" atheists?!

Well now we are here arent we? We are dialoguing and debating with our creative minds here on this forum amongst each other. We have free will to do so or not do so. I propose we have learned through antiquity that Love is the greatest ability we have as humans; an ability bestowed by God.
Now. I site (refer) God for all this. There is an other Theory. It is to site Star Dust. Which is cool if you believe in that theory. Peace.
