Exactly what does gravitational pull/the speed of light have to do with a debate over evolution? And that screen shot doesn't disprove my earlier assertion that the Qu'ran was not meant to teach modern science.
And the very men who discovered the speed of light believed in evolution.
You are really an ignorant kid. First of all you questioned the nature of God and his powers. That alone takes you out of the religion. Secondly I provided a scientific proof of the validity of the Qur'an that could not have been known by our prophet whom you accurately called illiterate in a stagnant pre-medieval society. The question I ask you now is do you know how God created? Do you know the nature of God's creation? Do you know the process in which He formed the human people's continuance? I am astounded that you resort to evolution, a theory that is in place "
as long as" the scientific Western community will find out concretely for themselves the nature of man's continuance. It is a place holder. The chairman of the Human Genome project said as much. But you take it as a scientific Law when every single so-called discovery of a bone or a tooth or something disavows old forms of the theory. Recently they discovered a the oldest human fossil, a tooth, in Israel which was enough for some scientist to discard the whole "out of Africa" theory that has existed since the beginning of evolution. It may turn out the theory of evolution itself could be proven false to Western science at some point and what we have so far learned about it now may not even equate to 1/5 of 1/100 of what is truly the nature of Man's continuance. Even so far now, the only concrete evolutionary forms that Western science has gleaned from transitional forms is only existing among the Homo genus. There are no widely accepted transitional fossils ever discovered between Homo Sapiens and Apes although some scientists will find a middle path to say between apes and "our cousins". Everything displayed so far since the founding of the theory has at every turn, even the beginning before it could be clarified, has been notoriously supported politically based on the fact that Christianity has been disproven to the educated Western elite on account of their own human reformations of it so the theory is the
only thing the educated elite have. This is why they have so much devotion to one of the most reforming and unstable parts of known science bordering on what they would ironically deem a blind support to religion.
We as Muslims have something different. A book solely composed of God's words entrusted with an illiterate man. When the Muslims were asked what is your miracle. They said the Qur'an is our miracle, because how else an illiterate man and a pre-medieval dark society know that all of life is from water, that the universe is helio-centric rather than geo-centric 5 centuries before the West, or all these other facts:
The Miracle of Birth
[We] then formed the drop into a clot and formed the clot into a lump and formed the lump into bones and clothed the bones in flesh; and then brought him into being as another creature. Blessed be Allah, the Best of Creators! (Qur'an, 23:14)
THE QUR'AN WRITING ABOUT THE NOW ACCEPTED T
HREE TRIMESTERS OF BIRTH
He creates you stage by stage in your mothers' wombs in threefold darkness. That is Allah, your Lord. Sovereignty is His. There is no god but Him. So what has made you deviate? (Qur'an, 39:6)
ISLAM WRITING ABOUT THE ORBIT OF THE MOON AND SAYING THE ORBIT IS A "SPHERE" AT A TIME WHEN EARTH WAS CONSIDERED FLAT
And We have decreed set phases for the moon, until it ends up looking like an old date branch. It is not for the sun to overtake the moon nor for the night to outstrip the day; each one is swimming in a sphere. (Qur'an, 36:39-40)
CORRECT CALCULATION OF THE LUNAR YEAR
In former times a month was calculated as the time between two full moons, or the time it took the Moon to travel around the Earth. According to this, one month was equal to 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. This is known as the "lunar month." Twelve lunar months represent one year, according to the Hijri calendar. However, there is a difference of eleven days between the Hijri calendar and the Gregorian calendar, in which a year is the time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. Indeed, attention is drawn to this difference in another verse:
They stayed in their Cave for three hundred years and added nine. (Qur'an, 18:25)
We can clarify the time referred to in the verse thus: 300 years x 11 days (the difference which forms every year) = 3,300 days. Bearing in mind that one solar year lasts 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.5 seconds, 3,300 days/365.24 days = 9 years. To put it another way, 300 years according to the Gregorian calendar is equal to 300+9 years according to the Hijri calendar. As we can see, the verse refers to this finely calculated difference of 9 years. (Allah knows best.) There is no doubt that the Qur'an, which contains such pieces of information, which transcended the everyday knowledge of the time, is a miraculous revelation.
THE QUR'AN DESCRIBING THE FACT THE EARTH IS ROTATING
You will see the mountains and reckon them to be solid; but they go past like clouds-the handiwork of Allah Who gives to everything its solidity. He is aware of what you do. (Qur'an, 27:88)
THE QUR'AN DESCRIBING THE NOW ACCEPTED 7 LAYERS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
It is He Who created everything on the earth for you and then directed His attention up to heaven and arranged it into seven regular heavens. He has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 2:29)
Then He turned to heaven when it was smoke. In two days He determined them as seven heavens and revealed, in every heaven, its own mandate. (Qur'an, 41:11-12)
Scientist now approve the seven layers of atmosphere:
1. Troposphere
2. Stratosphere
3. Mesosphere
4. Thermosphere
5. Exosphere
6. Ionosphere
7. Magnetosphere.
THE QUR'AN DESCRIBING THE NOW ACCEPTED 7 LAYERS OF THE EARTH
It is Allah Who created the seven heavens and of the earth the same number, the Command descending down through all of them, so that you might know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah encompasses all things in His knowledge. (Qur'an, 65:12)
Scientists now approve the seven layers of the earth:
1st layer: Lithosphere (water)
2nd layer: Lithosphere (land)
3rd layer: Asthenosphere
4th layer: Upper Mantle
5th layer: Inner Mantle
6th layer: Outer Core
7th layer: Inner Core
THE QUR'AN DESCRIBING THE FORMATION OF PETROL/OIL BEFORE THE CONCEPT WAS EVEN KNOWN TO MAN
Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most High: He Who created and moulded; He Who determined and guided; He Who brings forth green pasture, then makes it blackened stubble. (Qur'an, 87:1-5)
THE QUR'AN MENTIONS THE RELATIVITY OF TIME A THOUSAND YEARS BEFORE EINSTEIN
A day with your Lord is equivalent to a thousand years in the way you count. (Qur'an, 22:47)
He directs the whole affair from heaven to earth. Then it will again ascend to Him on a Day whose length is a thousand years by the way you measure. (Qur'an, 32:5)
The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in a day whose length is fifty thousand years. (Qur'an, 70:4)
ISLAM DESCRIBES THE EARTH WAS MADE IN 16 BILLION EARTH YEARS, THE SAME TIME SPAN ACCEPTED BY MODERN SCIENTISTS
Your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then settled Himself firmly on the Throne... (Qur'an, 7:54)
One example of the harmony between the Qur'an and modern science is the subject of the age of the universe. Cosmologists estimate the age of the universe as 16-17 billion years. The Qur'an states that the entire universe was created in six days. These two time frames, which may seem contradictory, are actually surprisingly compatible. In fact, both these figures concerning the age of the universe are correct. In other words, the universe was created in six days, as revealed in the Qur'an, and this period corresponds to 16-17 billion years in the way that we experience time.
In 1915 Einstein proposed that time was relative, that the passage of time altered according to space, the speed of the person travelling and the force of gravity at that moment. Bearing in mind these differences in the passage of time, the period of time in which the universe was created as revealed in seven different verses of the Qur'an is actually highly compatible with scientists' estimations. The six-day period revealed in the Qur'an can be thought of as six periods. Because, taking into account the relativity of time, a "day" refers only to a 24-hour period experienced on Earth under current conditions. Elsewhere in the universe, however, at another time and under other conditions, a "day" could refer to a much longer period of time. Indeed, the word "ayyamin" in the period of six days (sittati ayyamin) in these verses (Qur'an 32:4, 10:3, 11:7, 25:59, 57:4, 50:38, and 7:54) means not only "days," but also "age, period, moment, term."
In the first period of the universe, the passage of time took place much faster than that with which we are familiar today. The reason for this is that, at the moment of the Big Bang, our universe was compressed into a very small point. The expansion of the universe and increase in its volume ever since the moment of that explosion has extended the borders of the universe to millions of light years. Indeed, the stretching of space ever since that moment has had very important ramifications for universal time.
The energy at the moment of the Big Bang slowed down the flow of time 1012 (one million million) times. When the universe was created the speed of universal time was higher up to a million million times, as time is experienced today. In other words, a million million minutes on Earth is the equivalent of just one minute in universal time.
When a six-day period of time is calculated according to the relativity of time, it equates to six million million (six trillion) days. That is because universal time flows a million million times faster than time on Earth. Calculated in terms of years, 6 trillion days equates to approximately 16.427 billion years. This is within the estimated range for the age of the universe.
6,000,000,000,000 days/365.25 = 16.427104723 billion years
THE QUR'AN WRITES ABOUT COMBUSTION WITHOUT FIRE, ELECTRICTY
Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The metaphor of His Light is that of a niche in which is a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, the glass like a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, its oil all but giving off light even if no fire touches it. Light upon Light. Allah guides to His Light whoever He wills and Allah makes metaphors for mankind and Allah has knowledge of all things. (Qur'an, 24:35)
QUR'AN WRITES ABOUT THE UNIQUENESS OF FINGER PRINTS AS IDENTITY
Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of his fingers. (Qur'an, 75:4)
QUR'AN WRITES ABOUT THE SUN'S TRAJECTORY
It is He Who created night and day and the sun and moon, each one swimming in a sphere. (Qur'an, 21:33)
And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (Qur'an, 36:38)
