Muslim Scholar Wrote:This can be a proof for Islam not against it
in Quran God said specifically that the Earth is spherical
Not only that a Pressed sphere (Like a pumpkin)
See Quran 79:30
And after that He spread the earth
The word "Spread" here is not a very accurate translation
The Arabic word used is "دحاها" which is not in English; it means extending a sphere (Usually a paste to make bread; is made first as a sphere then pressed a bit to look like a pumpkin)
You silly theists and your ambiguous Holy books. Pythagoras in the 6th century B.C.E. was already onto the idea of a spherical Earth.
The natural world + reason > your Holy doctrine.
