Verse 54:1-2 of the Qur'an reads:
اقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ وَانشَقَّ الْقَمَرُ وَإِن يَرَوْا آيَةً يُعْرِضُوا وَيَقُولُوا سِحْرٌ مُّسْتَمِرٌّ
The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder.
Really?
REALLY?
No, some 7th century dude didn't split the Moon. It's there just like it was always.

Sahih al-Bukhari Volume 4, Book 56, Number 777:
Narrated by Al-Bara:
We were one-thousand-and-four-hundred (1400) persons on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty). (At) Al-Hudaibiya, (there) was a well. We drew out its water, not leaving even a single drop. The Prophet sat at the edge of the well and asked for some water, with which he rinsed his mouth. Then he threw it out into the well. We stayed for a short while. Then, we drew water from the well and quenched our thirst. Even our riding animals drank water to their satisfaction.
Really?
REALLY?
So, you pulled all the water out of the well and then water trickled back in from the surrounding earth? That's what wells DO.
Duhhh!

You could pull anything from any religious book without context and you could get shit like this, religious books dont make sense these things are either metaphorical or have a greater meaning such as passing a really important message the other post "christian bs" proves it
No, you are wrong. It isn't stated metaphorically and it does not have a greater meaning. It's simply a statement that the guy split the Moon and then put it back together.
This is no different than numerous accounts of miracles in the New Testament regarding Jesus. They are exactly what they are, no more or less. They are not metaphorical and they do not have any greater meaning.
I consider all these feats of magic to be made up stories, you may take them differently.
