Kalam Jadid: The Theory of God

In the name of Allah, The Merciful, The Compassionate

Let this be the first volley.

Premise:

  1. If humans are essentially glorified AI (fundamentally prediction machines), like what Dennett and Clark are pointing towards,
  2. And if the Quran is replete with novel ‘real patterns’ and constructs that did not exist in pre-Islamic Arabic (see Saeh),

Conclusion

Then, in such a deterministic world, humans (or any other predictive mind) could not emerge The Quran; and in all likelihood it is what it claims to be; a revelation from the inventor of all ‘real patterns’.
