[Quranic Reflection]: moon absorbed by the sun in the Quran: far future.

[Angrboda]

Winter does have an understanding of a scientific fact - and it's his understanding of that scientific fact that he seeks to employ in order to fill the void in magic books narrative.  

Its not about a god using it's god magic to move some discs in the sky, as the authors had imagined and as the audience would have expected.  Just the completely natural death of a star.  That lets magic book continue to be magic, without waxing on about all of that embarrassing magic.

Devil (or god in this case) is in the details.  While there are various points of logical failures in the debate about god itself, Islam further has notions that add to it exponantially.  For example, the whole religion itself hinges on a very narrow narrative that Mo supposedly spoke to an angel in a cave.  That's it. That's the whole premise of Islam on which it further builds the quranic and hadith and everything else.

This narrative in itself is never really questions.  Kinda like virgin birth (or some other stupid shit-fact) in Christianity.  It's just taken on it face value and never really questioned the very possibility of it.

Apparently, swarthy men having involved theological discussions with flowery bints in caves was a lot more common then than it is now.
