CONTRADICTION · NARRATIVE
Who Fell to the Ground?
And when we were all fallen to the earth...
The men... stood speechless, hearing a voice...
Paul’s Damascus experience is foundational. If even this critical event’s details don’t match, how can readers trust lesser details? Such contradictions challenge the claim of divinely preserved, error-free scripture.
THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE
They say these accounts describe different moments—first all fell, then they stood. Viewed together, it’s one continuous event, not a contradiction.
THE ISLAMIC POSITION
Muslims note that a perfect text wouldn’t need such forced harmonization. One says all fell, the other they stood. This inconsistency signals human tampering, unlike the Quran’s uniformity.
