Islam critiqued uncovers Quranic gems; A consistent creation account?

In answer to the video "What is the Quran?"

A contradiction occurs when 2 statements cannot coexist. This is not the case in the Quranic account of creation, nor in any other Quranic story.

The repetitions in the Quran do not contradict one another, but instead complement and elaborate on different facets that are relevant to the direct context in which the story is recounted. If we merge the different accounts of Iblis for example, we get a complete picture of what occured. As he was about to leave, in his hatred for the human race that caused his loss of glory, he requested a time of respite until the day of resurrection to show God that He was mistaken in honoring this new creation, and the request was granted

7:14-15,38:79-81,15:36-8,17:62"Tell me, is this he whom Thou hast honored above me? If Thou shouldst respite me to the day of resurrection, I will most certainly cause his progeny to perish except a few".

Seeing that his demand was accepted, Iblis now laid out his detailed plan. He will lie in wait on the straight path, ensnaring those upon it from every possible angle, making their evil deeds alluring to them, all of them except God's purified servants 7:16-17,15:39-40,38:82-3. When he had finished stating his intentions, God, Who had previously demonstrated mankind's potential and Who created it with the inner ability to rise spiritualy, accepted. God further said that the authority of Iblis will be limited to those who follow him of the deviators, not His servants, and that hell will be his abode and that of those who follow him. Those that act according to their ingrained spiritual predisposition, that remain God-conscious will enter the secure and pleasurable dwelling place for eternity 38:84-5,15:41-8. The matter was now closed, God definately marked Iblis as one of lowly character and ordered him out once more and violently, augmenting the tone of His address while summing up the area of authority granted to him, the consequences for those he might succesfully deceive, and restricted means at his disposal for doing so

7:18"Get out of her, despised, driven away; whoever of them will follow you, I will certainly fill hell with you all"  

17:63-5"And beguile whomsoever of them you can with your voice, and collect against them your forces riding and on foot, and share with them in wealth and children, and hold out promises to them; and the Shaitan makes not promises to them but to deceive. Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority over them; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector".

On the day of Judgement, Iblis will recognize exactly that, he had no autority other than within the area granted to him by God. He is waswas ilkhannas/the whisperer that withdraws. Through these stealthy suggestions, he attracts unto him the deviators

14:22"Surely Allah promised you the promise of truth, and I gave you promises, then failed to keep them to you, and I had no authority over you, except that I called you and you obeyed me, therefore do not blame me but blame yourselves: I cannot be your aider (now) nor can you be my aiders; surely I disbelieved in your associating me with Allah before; surely it is the unjust that shall have the painful punishment."
