I'm still having difficulties following you. Apparently you seems to agree with my article but again you distance yourself when you write:
"And still, we insist on our own ways to look at the sky, completely dumb-founded"
In the Holy Quran, Allah mentioned the purpose of the sun and the moon many a times (you already quoted); but nowhere you'll find a single reference that specifically dictate us to use the "Birth of Moon" to determine or calculate the months (and other events like Eid, Hajj). In the absence of quranic references in this regard, Hadith becomes our logical next source of reference. And we are all aware of what Hadith has to say.
For the purpose of Ramadan and Eid, are you saying:
1. To use scientic calculations to determine the "Birth of Moon" or
2. To use scientic calculations to determine the "Visibility of Moon"
Please do clarify your position.
