Some facts about our universe

Guess what?

Never mind, it will discover you.

It seems that Joseph thought that he was a god who was worthy of being worshiped.

You're just taking it out of context

I think you're imposing your own atheistic cynical Nazi agenda by insisting that the words say what they say. What if they don't say what they say? God is mysterious after all. Obviously, if the words look like utter bollocks, we're not reading them right. So we should replace them with words that make sense, while still crediting God or whatever nobrash wrote all this stuff.

"With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others"

WTF does this mean? I don't recall any triffids walking as pairs onto the ark?

N.B. The Nazis worked with the Brotherhood, who spied for Hitler in Egypt. Adolf Hitter was a friend of Hassan al-Banna,if I remember rightly, and he gave the Brotherhood money. But I'll still be accused of having that agenda anyway I'm sure.

Something I need to investigate: Which came first, the carpet or the egg? The Quran also says the Earth is egg shaped so I'm wondering if Muhammad first thought the Earth was flat and later changed it. I'll need to check the Surah numbers of the egg-shaped Earth Iyah because I have a hunch they will be Medinan.

EDIT: Maybe somebody already knows the answer of which came first?

It turns out the carpet came before the egg. Quran 79:30 is sometimes translated as the Earth being in the shape of an egg (eh?) and it was "revealed" after all of the carpet Iyah. Though, there are some Iyah that compared the Earth to a bed so I'll need to do some more investigation.

The thing that struck me the most about those carpet verses is Quran 15:19. The part where is says "set thereon mountains firm and immovable". Mountains are most certainly not firm an immovable, especially those of the volcanic type - which could change drastically from one day to the next. Mountains grow precisely because they are not immovable. When tow tectonic plates push against each other they created mountains. The mountains will have started out the size of mole hills.
