Deep Seas and Internal Waves

[ManMachine]

---

..[Noble Quran 24:40]
This verse mentions the darkness found in deep seas and oceans, where if a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it. The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light. Below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at all[Oceans Elder and Pernetta p.27].
Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters without the aid of submarines or special equipment. Human beings cannot survive unaided in the deep dark part of the oceans, such as at a depth of 200 meters.
Scientists have recently discovered this darkness by means of special equipment and submarines that have enabled them to dive into the depths of the oceans.
We can also understand from the following sentences in the previous verse, "..in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds,..." that the deep waters of seas and oceans are covered by waves, and above these waves are other waves.
It is clear that the second set of waves are the surface waves that we see, because the verse mentions that above the second waves there are clouds. But what about the first waves? Scientists have recently discovered that there are internal waves which "occur on density interfaces between layers of different densities."[Oceanography, Gross, p. 205].
The internal waves cover the deep waters of seas and oceans because the deep waters have a higher density than the waters above them. Internal waves act like surface waves. They can also break just like surface waves. Internal waves cannot be seen by the human eye, but they can be detected by studying temperature or salinity changes at a given location.
Water covers so much of the earth and even mixes with the land in rivers and streams. Yet is there something keeping it from mixing with itself? What is contained in this mystery of separation of waters?

You seem to be under the impression that when the Quran was written people were morons. This is not true.

If technical predictions are important to you then perhaps I can recommend the religion of Pythagoreanism. A religion based on the mathematical, astronomy and even a dash of music of Pythagoras. Which is so detailed, precise and accurate and not at all shrouded in colourful non-descriptive language that can be misinterpreted as any old garbage, (exactly like what you just posted) we still use his theorem today because it is still as effective and potent as when it was written, and no one needs to convince anyone because it is evident to anyone with a modicum of intellect how bloody amazingly great it is.

Only a modern-day moron would be taken in by vague fluff and nonsense... surely?
