Leviticus 20:10
And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death
what do you think of this verse, do you think it's been altered?

How can an Atheist deny this
When the athiest denies everything the we use this denial of everything as starting point. He claims he is free to do as he wants and nothing can stop him.
Ask him not breathe again – he cannot do that
Ask him not to eat again – he cannot do that
Ask him not to go to toilet again – he cannot do that
Ask him not to sleep ever – he cannot do that
Ask him not to blink again – he cannot do that
Ask him not to exist in time – he cannot do that
Ask him not to take up space – he cannot do that
Ask him not to die when his time comes – he cannot do this either
So what does this all prove? This proves even though he denys God he is still under his control because God made man this way and it is unescape to do anything but what you are made to do. If someone refuses this, then it is like a man who travels by train and does not care about the fact that someone made, designed and worked on the train before he could ever use it. The atheist denies that there is any designer or any worker. He gets on the train uses it everyday and rejects any notion of a designer.
One day the designer comes and asks him why he has been denying him and the atheist refuses again. Don’t you think that the designer is going to be angry? Don’t you think that the ungratefulness of the passenger will be punished, the designer may throw the person of the train or worse!
Then compare this to the one who respects the designer and acknowledges the design work of the train then when he sees the designer he is grateful. Don’t you think that the designer will be happy with this passenger? He will get put into first class, at least!
So who do want to be? The denier or the accepter? How long can someone refuse God for? Then someone must need a religion now, what religion to follow? The only text which is unchanged is the Quran and therefore the only religion left is Islam.

Maths in the Quran
"Does the author of the Quran know Maths?"
Question:
According to Arun Shourie there is a mathematical error in the Quran. In chapter 4 verses 11 and 12 when you add up the different parts of inheritance given to the heirs, it is more than one. Therefore the author of the Quran does not know mathematics.
Answer:
The Quran mentions about inheritance in many places, in:
Surah Al Baqarah-Chapter 2 verse 180
Surah Al Baqarah-Chapter 2 verse 240
Surah Al Nisa-Chapter 4 verses 7 to 9
Surah Al Nisa-Chapter 4 verses19 and 33
Surah Al Maidah-Chapter 5 verses 105 and 108
Regarding the share of inheritance it is clearly given in Surah Nisa-chapter 4 verse 11, 12 and 176.
Let us examine the verses quoted by Arun Shourie, i.e. Surah Nisa chapter 4 verses 11 and 12:
Allah (swt) (thus) directs you as regards your childrens (inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more, their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her share is a half.
For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the (only) heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers (or sisters) the mother has a sixth. (The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies and debts. Ye know not whether your parents or your children are nearest to you in benefit. These are settled portions ordained by Allah and Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. [Al-Quran 4:11-12]
Islam explains the law of inheritance in great detail. The broad and basic outline is given in the Quran and the minute details are given in the Ahadith i.e. the tradition and sayings of the Prophet (Pbuh).
A person can spend his full life only on the research of the Islamic law of inheritance with its various permutations and combinations. Arun Shourie expects to know the law only by superficially reading two verses of the Quran without knowing the criteria.
It is similar to a person who wants to solve a mathematical equation but does not know the basic rule of mathematics, i.e. BODMAS which says that in a mathematical equation, irrespective of which mathematical sign appears first, you will first solve BODMAS: 1st Brackets Off, 2nd Division, 3rd Multiplication, 4th Addition and 5th Subtraction. If Arun Shourie does not know mathematics and first does multiplication then subtraction, then brackets off, then division and finally addition, the answer that he will obtain is bound to be wrong.
Similarly, when the Quran mentions the law of inheritance in Surah Nisa chapter 4 verses 11 and 12, even though the childrens share is mentioned first and then that of the parents and spouses, according to the law of inheritance in Islam after paying off the debts and liabilities first, the share is given to the spouses and the parents depending on whether the deceased has left children or not, and whatever portion of wealth is remaining is divided between the sons and the daughters according to their respective shares.
So where does the question arise of the total coming to more than one? So it is not Allah who does not know mathematics but it is Arun Shourie himself who is ignorant about mathematics.
