The Miracle Of Iron !!

[downbeatplumb]

Yes, that sounds right. This is why the moon has no iron and we have lots! The moon is therefore an extension of the Earth's crust.

But of course this is all part of the formation of the Earth and you cannot use this example as iron being sent to the Earth as before this impact the 'Earth' was basically a different planet. In a way you could say that Theia and whatever you want to call the planet that was here before are the parents of the Earth.

Anyway, the Qu'ran saying that iron was 'sent down' to the Earth is simply a classic example of assumptions made based on the knowledge of the time. i.e. you see rocks made of iron fall from the sky and you assume that this is how all the iron got here. And if you are prone to belief in magical deities then you further assume that he sent them down as a gift for you.

You are of course correct.

I was just pointing out that a significant amount of iron was not due to accretion.

In fact, due this added influx of iron earth has a higher density and larger magneto sphere than you would normally expect for a planet its size with important implications for life.

The giant impact hypothesis is still very speculative and many questions are yet unanswered. Considering this hypothetical status I wouldn't call this hard scientific fact and it certainly is too early to conclude that accretion was completed. In fact in recent research Alfred G. W. Cameron (one of the founders of the idea in a 1974 article) and others found that the moon-forming impact probably took place when the earth was still in the phase of accretion. Cameron inferred that from computer sims. He showed that if the earth at the time of impact was around its current mass it would have required far more angular momentum than can be found in the earth-moon system today. However an impact with a half-built earth could do the job under certain circumstances.

Not true. There are verses in the quran and these verses contradict with modern science...

For example: ''Till, when he reached the setting place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout: We said: O Dhul-Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness. '' - The Cave / 86. Verses. -


Quran and science? Very funny!

HE FOUND IT didnt you see this? thats according to him(dhul-qarneyn). plz strict to the subject to avoid confusion if you want to discuss a new thing open a new thread the subject here is miracle of iron in the quran

And the Irish claim you can find a pot of gold if you follow a rainbow.

Simply primitive shit in both cases. There is no "place" where the sun sets.
