My Thoughts On Islam

Mountains do not have roots or stakes. They are a folding of earth's crust and are therefore quite shallow.



A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Geophysicist Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.
Another book entitled "How do Mountains form" by Terry A.Hicks also states that mountains have deep roots.

Statements from Various Geologists :-

1) Tarbuck and Lutgens write:
The existence of these roots has been confirmed by seismic and gravitational data

2) Brian J.Skimmer and Stephen C.Porter write:

The crust beneath the mountains resembles icebergs with high peaks, but with massive roots below the waterline. The accuracy of this analogy is demonstrated by the gravity profile across the United States, shown in Figure 16.18c. Negative gravity anomalies are observed where the crust is thickest. The anomalies are caused by the roots of low-density rock beneath the mountains.

... Mountains stand high and have roots beneath them because they are comprised of low-density rocks and are supported by the buoyancy of weak, easily deformed but more dense rocks below.

3) Under the sub-chapter 13.2 “How do we know mountains have roots?” academic geologists Gary Smith and Aurora Pun write:

“Airy’s hypothesis predicts that the base of the crust is deepest beneath areas of highest elevation; in other words, mountains should have roots in the mantle…Seismic data demonstrate the presence of thick roots of crust projecting downward into the mantle beneath mountains as predicted by Airy’s model. “




The 'it' refers to power of understanding, not the universe.



I will mention another verse to clear your silly argument.

And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Qur'an, 51:47)




The orbit of the sun was around the Earth - they were geocentrists.

The planets in our solar system orbit around the sun. One orbit of the Earth takes one year. Meanwhile, our entire solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Our sun and solar system move at about 800 thousand kilometers an hour – that’s about 500 thousand miles an hour – in this huge orbit. So in 90 seconds, for example, we all move some 20,000 kilometers – or 12,500 miles – in orbit around the galaxy’s center.

The verse mentions ...the Sun and the Moon,each floating in its orbit.

Where is the fault in the verse ??

That does not say anything about pain receptors; it is obvious that if the skin has burned away, it would have to be replaced to burn away again.

Read the line again in the verse "......We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain..."

Clot of blood does not describe an embryo.

Huh...

Clot of congealed blood resembles like a leech,That is in the initial stages of the embryo.
The description what Quran gave about it was accurate,When Dr keith Moore checked it under a powerful microscope he has verified it.

Also there are several other verses in the Quran related to Human development.

Your confirmation bias is enormous. Try thinking rationally instead.

It's Time for you to think Rationally.

The Earth's solar system is actually part of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, which is being absorbed into the larger Milky Way Galaxy. Consequently, our solar system is not in the plane of the Milky Way but is offset at at rather high angle to it. We don't exactly revolve around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy as many people think.
