I’ve debunked the Muslim claim that the Koran is miraculously predictive of modern science multiple times, from Cosmology and the Koran to The Koran Predicted the Speed of Light? Not Really . . . all the way to Predicting Modern Science: Epicurus vs. Mohammed, wherein I showed that the first century B.C. poem the De Rerum Natura, by Lucretius the Epicurean philosopher, was far more successful at predicting modern science than what garbage passes for science in the Koran. Atheism evidently gives you greater powers of prophecy than Allah. And now Hiram Crespo has translated that article into Spanish and published it for the Sociedad de Amigos de Epicuro, the Spanish edition of the Society of Friends of Epicurus (as well as for Ateístas de Puerto Rico, a website well worth Spanish speakers knowing of no matter what their nationality or ethnicity).

This reminds me to say, and I want to make a general call, that anyone who wants to translate into any language anything I have written online, and publish that translation also online, you have my permission to do so for anything that appears on my domain (richardcarrier.info), as long as you credit the original author and link to the original version here; things I’ve written online that are elsewhere (like the Secular Web, where all those articles above are) I likewise give the same permission for, but you should ask The Secular Web management as well (or whoever is housing the article in question). As for my books, you need to email me to discuss it, because I often don’t always own the full rights, and even when I do, a more specific contract is needed; likewise if you want to publish anything in print (even if it’s just the translation of an online article).
