I had to google how long it takes to rotate. And I had to use a calculator to find out how long 4 minutes times 365 is. But I'm keeping the cookie anyways.
Thanks!

That is actually worth a cookie in itself. I tried to verify my answer and it is amazing that the the whole internet, dealing with the rotation of the earth, was a carbon copy of this thread. Even some science forums insist on 365.25 days. (even the proselytization)

So u seem to think that the knowledge given from a scripture with religious commands and laws, but just happens to have for instance the word "land" mentioned through its 6,236 verses EXACTLY 13 times and the word "sea" EXACTLY 32 times, 32+13=45 13/45=28.89% and 32/45=71.11% THE EXACT PERCENTAGES of LAND AND WATER that cover our planet today, comes from some human being?
It only comes to 71% if you include the oceans, the freshwater rivers and lakes, AND the polar ice caps. Antarctica is a series of islands that is covered by glacial ice. If it wasn't covered then it would be land. That percentage is completely bullshit, because if you take out Antarctica then the world is something like 69-70% covered in water. And if the qur'an had numbers that gave you that percentage then you would calculate the world's percentage of water using that instead. And if it said 68 or 67% then you'd count the oceans on their own and say "OMG the earth's surface is 68% covered in salt-water just like god told us by stealth". Given the fact there are plenty of ways to calculate the amount of water on the surface of the earth, and they can add up to anything from 68-71% depending on how you want to add them together - ice isn't water FYI. If you are going to count all the states of water than the earth is 100% covered in water because there is water vapour in the atmosphere at every point of earth.
Here's a link that proves it: "Ice caps, Glaciers, & Permanent Snow: volume 5,773,000mi3/24,064,000km3; Percentage of Fresh Water - 68.7%; Percentage of earth's surface area: 1.74%." There is more than twice as much "water" in ice and snow as there is in freshwater rivers and lakes.
And the earth's core is not molten iron. It is an iron-nickel solid.

That's what God does, send His signs in the Qur'an to show that this scripture could only come from Him alone. His revelation in the Torah (Old Testament) and Gospel (New Testament) were also His true revelations that He revealed alone to mankind. But men added things to these scriptures which have been changed over and over again throughout time. It even says in Jeremiah 8:8. "How can you say that we are wise and have the law of The Lord when the lying pens of the scribes have falsified it"? But what the Qur'an does is confirms the truth of things revealed in the Torah and the Gospel, but it also corrects the falsehood that mankind has added to them. God always sent His word to people through His prophets/messengers pbut all, with miracles according to what the peoples' lifestyles were. For example in Moses' pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of magic and illusion. So God sent Moses pbuh who through God's power and will turned his rod into a serpent, and parted the Red Sea. God showed the people His power and might through His messenger Moses pbuh, things that those people, who were vain of their knowledge of magic, could never do. What magic could they come up with that could do these things? In Jesus' pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of medicine. So God showed His power through His messenger Jesus pbuh things that these medically vain people could never do. Such as impregnate a virgin woman, heal lepers, cure the blind, and even bring a dead man back to life. What medicine could they come up with that could do these things? Now in Muhammad's pbuh time the people were vain of their knowledge of poetry, linguistics, science, and mathematics. So God sent the final scripture to mankind through His messenger Muhammad pbuh, a man who could neither read nor write, showing no human could produce it. The 23 years of revealing the Qur'anic scripture, which not only gives God's laws to mankind, but the verses rhyme in their original revealed Arabic language which is still preserved to this day, covering the poetic miracle, and as shown contains linguistic, scientific, mathematical, and even astronomical miracles, all categories which the people of that time "thought they knew so much about" and what people to this day " think they know so much about". And with our technology today we are verifying the Qur'anic miracles, that we have been blessed by God to learn about are precise to the "T". So just as God did with all people since the beginning of mankind, He sent a prophet or messenger pbut all, with signs from Himself. This way the prophet/messenger pbuh could relay the message in the language that his people spoke so they could understand. All were sent from God with the same message to worship only 1 God and Him alone, associating no partners with Him in worship. There were over 120,000 prophets pbut all, since the beginning of mankind sent to every single nation of people God created. However the Prophet Muhammad pbuh was not only sent for the one nation of Arabs but he was sent for ALL MANKIND for all eternity. He was an Arab and spoke Arabic and relayed the message in that language. This is why we call God "Allah" which is simply the Arabic name for God. Just as "Yahweh" is God in Hebrew, and "God" is God in English, and "Dios" is God in Spanish, they are all different languages referring to the same One, Supreme Being. We also call ourselves "Muslims" which is Arabic for "One who submits to God's will". This is why we say all prophets pbut all were Muslims. They all submitted to God's will. Now of course if they didn't speak Arabic then they would call themselves the equivalent definition in the language they spoke. So to sum up, the Qur'an is a miracle within itself sent as a sign for mankind to judge by and to see that it could only be produced by God Allah Himself.
I don't want to be rude or anything, but. . . stfu. This is a science thread, and has nothing to do with your fucking fairy tale. Off to the religion section for you. Go on, git. Git now, ya hear?

Modern science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the Earth, while the land covers 28.889% totaling EXACTLY 100%. So this is water on the Earth's surface. Not rain and snow and ice and glaciers but the water that actually covers the surface of the Earth is EXACTLY 71.111%. At the center of the Earth is the core, which has two parts. The solid, inner core of iron has a radius of about 760 miles (about 1,220 km). It is surrounded by a liquid, outer core composed of a nickel-iron alloy. Sep 26, 2012. The inner core of IRON is the EXACT MIDDLE of the Earth just as Chapter 57 Al-Hadyd " The Iron" is EXACTLY the middle of The Qur'an. So I appreciate u sharing that with me because it helped me to become more knowledgeable of the differences between the inner and outer core of our planet. However u still see from this scientific knowledge listed here The EXACT center of the Earth does consist of IRON which is one of the miracles that was listed. So I thank u my friend for supporting my point.
