Our childlike primitive ancestors misunderstood our species' childhood for the same reasons.

God was never angry and never cursed our entire species for disobedience. Obedience was never the purpose. Preparing us for eternal life as a Spirit to avoid any negative spiritual consequences has been the goal. Our ignorance and mistakes are just that (as horrific as some of them are) and we will reap whatever we have sowed based on what we have become and have not corrected.

Worship was never for God's benefit. It is and always has been to aid us in achieving the proper spiritual state of mind and drawing closer to God. Contrary to our ignorant ancestors' primitive beliefs, God has no ego and does not have any of the negative human weaknesses. If worshiping His Son brings you closer to God and spiritual maturity, why would God be upset?

You say things about the Quran and you THINK you know things about Allah/God and you are just as WRONG as those who say things about the Bible and THINK they know God/Jesus.

Science and education or God's faith? That be the question. For now, it's science since we are on a forum.
I think you might be intending to post it somewhere else because this a “RELIGION” and spirituality section of the forum.

one of the reasons that make some people do not believe in the Bible
because in the Bible they see things that are not integrated
and it confuse anyone who have a desire to believe and to apply the commands

but the non believers are not excused,
and not only them but also any one who does not believe in the final Holy Book The Quran.

a Holy Book should be from the God
and typical people will have no objection to accept things from the God
but when a man deletes or inserts things into the holy book because he has the influence
then this holy book will not be considered from the God
let alone when the things he inserts is very abominable
and that is one of reasons for the atheists to do not believe in the Bible
and they are excused from that point but Allah will not accept that from them because they have the Holy Quran.
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message
and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
The Holy Quran
