The Creation Contradictions of the Quran vs. The Infallible Consistency of the Bible
By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute
It’s astounding how easily overlooked the contradictions within the Quran become when weighed against the flawless, divinely preserved narrative of the Bible. Let’s examine one such fundamental doctrine: the origin of man.
The Quran, often hailed as a book of perfection, presents no fewer than seven conflicting accounts of what man was created from:
-
From Nothing (Surah 19:67)
-
From a Clot of Blood (Surah 96:2)
-
From Water (Surah 21:30)
-
From a Small Seed (Surah 16:4)
-
From Clay and Mud (Surah 15:26)
-
From Dust (Surah 3:59)
-
From Earth (Surah 11:61)
The unavoidable question remains — which one is true? A book that claims divine origin should not contradict itself on something so foundational as the creation of humanity.
In stark contrast, the Bible delivers a single, consistent, and profoundly theological account:
Genesis 2:7 — “Then the LORD God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”
One narrative, one truth, one Creator — Yahweh. The Biblical account is not only harmonious but also deeply spiritual, connecting man’s creation to the very breath of God. It paints a relational picture: man is not just matter, but a divine image-bearer (Genesis 1:27), crafted with purpose and destined for fellowship with his Creator.
Why does the Quran suffer such inconsistencies?
Because it lacks divine inspiration. A true word from God, like the Bible, is infallible, coherent, and unified from Genesis to Revelation. Its fulfilled prophecies, archaeological confirmations, historical integrity, and unbroken narrative affirm its heavenly authorship.
The Quran, cobbled together over 23 years through situational revelations and political motives, inevitably falls into contradiction and confusion. Even Muslim scholars debate these inconsistencies.
Why trust the Bible?
Because it is “God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). It withstands the tests of time, science, history, and logic. It reveals a loving, personal God who offers salvation through Jesus Christ — not a distant deity obsessed with submission and fear.
To every truth-seeker: abandon the contradictions and step into the light of eternal truth. The Bible is the unshaken Word of God, Yahweh the true Creator, and Jesus the only Savior.
