Muslim scientist says world is flat and the sun revolves around the earth because Quran says so.
November 28, 2012 at 11:51 am
This is an example of how giving power to religions to dictate education policy, could retard human progress. Personally I thing even Drich or GC would be shocked at this, it would be funny if he was not so serious. this is one big facepalm.
"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful" - Edward Gibbon (Offen misattributed to Lucius Annaeus Seneca or Seneca the Younger) (Thanks to apophenia for the correction)
'I am driven by two main philosophies:
Know more about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you' - Neil deGrasse Tyson
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain

You mean "a muslim says", he's ruled himself out for consideration as a scientist.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I wouldn't go that far, he's clearly reading from the wrong hymnal.

"What I say is based on Koranic science."
Yeah, I'll give you that one.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Could anyone provide a map of this flat earth? I wonder what my location is on this giant table.

At least I'll have a bigger chance of surviving a flat earthquake.

This guy is not a scientist. Science and Islam (science and religion) is the two opposite to each other. Religions attempt to adjust a science, just in time. This guy is too late.
