Friends, you should ask why muslims try to argue with me on my wall? Mine are issues of concern from a sincere heart with love & of course knowledge. My difference is that I can’t at all stomach their lies, I am informed & free. Actually, many muslim leaders in my country know this very well, I was a staunch muslim & I know the Quran so well. Now, one muslim yesterday posted on my wall saying that quraan is the only book that proofs science y dont u talk about that.. But If I may ask, how scientific is this? The Quran and Hadith claim that the moon was miraculously split into two pieces by Muhammads sword. Quran 54:1-3, The hour drew nigh and the moon did rend asunder. Sahih Bukhari 4:56:831 Narrated Anas: That the Meccan people requested Allahs Apostle to show them a miracle, and so he showed them the splitting of the moon. There is absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever that the moon has ever been split into two. The Quran 65:12, claims there are seven planets. However, according to astronomers, there are eight ordinary planets and five dwarf planets, which leaves the grand total at thirteen in our solar system. Modern astronomy also has found hundreds of other planets in other solar systems and Cosmologists estimate that hundreds of billions of stars and planets exist in the universe. The author of the Quran singling out such a small number of celestial objects only reaffirms his ignorance of the makeup of the universe. The Quran Quran 18:86mentions numerous times that the sun and the moon travel in an orbit, but does not mention once that the earth does too. This is consistent with a earth-centered (geocentric) view of the cosmos that places a motionless earth at the center of the universe and all heavenly bodies travel around the earth. This was the prevailing understanding of the universe prior to the 16th century when Copernicus helped explain and popularize a sun-centered (heliocentric) view of the universe. Tellingly, the suns orbit is always mentioned in the context of night and day. The Quran assumes a flat earth which has physical places into which the sun sets and rises from. Since the earth is a rotating sphere, the sun does not set in any particular place and you can never travel to the spot where the sun sets nor a place where it rises; the sun appears to set or rise on the horizon no matter where you are on the planet. In these verses, the author propagates a popular legend from the 7th century of a man named Dhul-Qarnayn who visits the places where the sun sets and rises; here he finds the sun going down into a muddy spring and later rising on a tribe with no coverings. Quran 67:5, that Stars are Missiles Shot at Devils The author of the Quran does not seem to know the difference between stars (giant balls of gas thousands of times larger than the earth) and meteorites which are small rocky masses of debris which brighten up after entering the earths atmosphere. Many ancient people confused the two, as meteorites look like stars that are streaking across the sky; this is why there were often called shooting stars or falling stars. In the Quran verse, the Quran claims that Allah uses stars as missiles to ward away devils. This repeats a common Arab myth at the time the Quran was first recited. And verily We have beautified the worlds heaven with stars/lamps, and We have made them missiles for the devils, and for them We have prepared the doom of flame. Quran 67:5 Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness. Qur’an 37:10 I wonder why muslims make this a matter of debate which is not ought to be what so ever. With No doubt the Bible is the only reliable written Word of God.
