People can use all the mental gymnastics they want, to put forth arguments about why Islam is true but, at the end of the day, I just can't take a book seriously that implies that the earth is flat, that the sun revolves round it and states that Allah holds the sky up, so it doesn't come crashing down on us...
Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea by His command? And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission. Indeed Allah , to the people, is Kind and Merciful.

The Quran wasn't written by the creator of the universe, it was written by a moron who didn't have a clue how the universe worked.
