Than what is your subject here?the subject here is the verse about the iron and its not my subject some guy wrote this and left the thread so i was just clarifying things
This was your statement:

The Earth's core was formed early in the creation of the planet as molten iron sank toward the center. As the planet cooled, some molten iron began to solidify to create the core, which is kept solid by enormous pressure.

and this is how iron get to the earth:
Generations of stars were born in gas clouds and died in explosive novas. The conditions in those novas produced the heavier elements we have with us today.

Now where was it sent down? "hey you piece of iron, go down to earth and do your thing" Gravity needs no command or commander. Iron need no command or commander. These are anthropomorphic views you are projecting on a natural process that functions quite on its own.
When you say that the iron got to earth through supernova explosions you make two mistakes:
1) You leave out that all the heavy stuff that earth is made of, was created through nucleo synthesis in stars and in the supernova explosions that followed. Carbon, nickel, uranium have been created this way. Where in the quran does it say that it all was "sent down" with the iron? Leaving that out suggests a special role for the iron. But there is no special role for iron in this process.
2) You cannot picture this as if there already was an earth ready to receive the iron. The current view is that the earth formed by accretion in a cloud of dust. So all this matter in roughly the same period of time condensed into a proto-earth through a natural process. There was no earth before that to sent the iron to.
