The Quran stressing on the link between winds and clouds: rain

I'm really really surprised that Mohammed concluded the Condensation of clouds; he literally said that rain is nothing but clouds becoming "fragments; i.e heavy; pieces". Isn't that what we recognize as gas to liquid ?

I don't read Arabic, so I can't probe the meaning of the text further. It's not clear what he means when he says that "He makes them fragments," other than that perhaps he is simply repeating the theme from earlier in the verse about the wind causing the behavior of the clouds. The verse is ambiguous, and perhaps even ungrammatical (in English). It's not clear what his intended sense is. You're simply taking an interpretation that is convenient to your apologetic, but isn't really explicit in the text. That's a form of begging the question and renders your argument invalid. And again, is his observation really beyond the ken of someone in the seventh century?

Beyond that, you haven't even addressed the objections that Rob and myself made about your larger conclusions in the matter.
