Islamic Pseudoscience!

I am not quite sure how to categorize the views expressed by the Islamic 'scientists' in this video. With arguments like 'The earth is flat...and the satellite images of a round earth are false!' and 'Living in Mecca makes one immune to the force of gravity' it is safe to call this pure comedy.

There was a time when Muslims were at the forefront of scientific research, before the fundamentalists came into power. On some accounts it is rather sad to see them reduced to this state, but with views like the ones expressed in this video, it is no surprise that the amount progressive scientific research done in the Islamic world is close to 0% today.

Its pretty Ironic that he said no scientist has succeded in understanding how the eye works while he is wearing glasses..

[zodiak121]

i am a muslim and proud of it and i can ganrtuee you that no where in the qurand or the authintic hadith dose it say the earth is flat i challenge anyone who says otherwise to provide proof .

[kakamana1000]

This guy is an Arab and he does not agree with you!

[NoamTube]

No way! This isn't real dude. Come on. There is no way in this day and age that anyone, even a mental midget would say the sun circles the earth and is SMALLER than the earth. Is this a spoof on BBC or something?

[kakamana1000]

Nope! Sadly this is real.

"No verse in the koran indicates that the Earth is round or it rotates" Yet the Earth is round & it does rotate, I think I detect a flaw in his "koranic science" IT DOES NOT EXIST.

"So far, no doctor has succeeded in understanding how the eye works", holy crap this guy wants to believe his precious book so badly.

"No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is round or that it rotates", at least he knows what his holy book actually says.

And the second guy was talking utter bs about science. I sure am glad that I don´t live in a country where you could see crap like that on TV.

What I would like to know is if and how the second clown graduated from Stockholm University as he claims.

facepalm

@zodiak121 Yeah there are other verses saying Allah, spread the earth so that cows could graze on it. I don't think they were talking about an egg and if they were they were going against the greek concept of the shape of the Earth. No the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but neither is it egg shaped either way. Why don't you give it a rest, there are no scientific theories in that outdated book.

[zodiak121]

@slicingwater I speak arbic and i read the arabic and the english translation of the quran to spread the earth dosent mean it is flat im looking for F-A-L-T flat to spread it is also right cause when u walk do u fell your walkin on a ball or on a spread ground anyway the Quran also says that the earth is shaped like an ostrich egg Verse 79:30 in arabic والارض بعد ذلك دحاها the word used is dahah comming fromthe arabic word دحية meaning an ostrich egg . the earth is not a perfect ball .

@zodiak121 Think harder mate.

[JamesThWilliams]

I'm guessing this brain surgeon stared directly at the sun during the solar eclipse that's why his eyes are so effed up.

[slicingwater]

@zodiak121 It says in Sura 79:30 says "and after that He spread the Earth." from the Pickthall translation. The Yusafali and Shakir translations say the same thing.
