Islam and Astronomy

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Very good points.

There are many various problems with the dogma of Islam. The orbiting patterns of the solar system being some of the least depressing.

true, but what bothers me is them saying that QURAN is the source of all knowledge and Science.

in 2007 a Muslim scholar went on live TV to argue that the Sun Orbits the earth and the sun is twice the size of the moon, WTF and yet many dumb asses supported his claims even with modern day technology and telescopes, live footage from the ISS and more.

Don't forget that about 25% of modern day Americans don't know that the Earth revolves around the Sun. And these are your neighbors, co-workers, and people you pass on the street everyday. The bottom line is that a lot of humanity is just basically dumber than a box of rocks.
