Iraqi Scientist Proves The Earth Is Flat and Much Larger than the Sun

Iraqi Researcher Defies Scientific Axioms: The Earth Is Flat and Much Larger than the Sun (Which Is Also Flat)


Following are excerpts from an Iraqi TV debate on whether the earth is flat, which aired on Al-Fayhaa TV on October 31, 2007.

Fadhel Al-Sa'd, Iraqi researcher on astronomy : The Koranic verse that I have just recited -- "The breadth of Paradise is as the breadth of the heavens and earth" -- attests to the fact that the Earth is flat.

[...]

Iraqi physicist 'Aboud Al-Taei: If the Earth is not round, what shape does it have? I have proof today, as a result of scientific development -- using satellites, modern devices, and spaceships... In particular, considering the spaceships and space shuttles that constantly circle the Earth, and some have left Earth for the solar system... The photographs they took prove that the Earth is round.

When you watch a ship sailing towards the shore, all you see at first is the mast. Then you see the ship's bow, and eventually the entire ship.

[...]

Fadhel Al-Sa'd: When you stand on the beach and you look into the distance, everything you see is in the visible distance. In the blurred distance, you cannot see a thing. Later on, as the ship gets closer to the shore and the harbor, you see its upper part. How do you see it? The eye, as I have said... So far, no doctor has succeeded in understanding how the eye works. How come you see things as round when they are in the blurred distance, but when they get within visible distance, you see them as straight? It happens the same way. When we stand on the ground, we are close to it. Therefore, we see with only half of the eye. If we split the iris into half, we see with the upper half things that are far, and with the lower half things that are near.

In 1999, there was a full solar eclipse. We went to Mosul, and over there we climbed to Mar Matti Monastery, the altitude of which is 3,600 feet.

The sun began to disappear slowly behind the moon. This is because the moon is half the size of the sun. The moon's diameter is 1,200,000 km, while that of the sun is 2,400,000 km.

[...]

'Aboud Al-Taei: The figures he mentioned regarding the size of the moon... By means of scientific methods, and physical and astronomical principles, scientists have managed to determine the mass of the moon. It is one-sixth the mass of the Earth. This explains the gravity on the moon, which was determined by the astronauts who reached the surface of the moon. They proved that the moon is round. Gravity was less there. It was six times less than the gravity on the Earth, which is why the weight of things is one-sixth there.

[...]

Interviewer: Lunar and solar eclipses, sunset and sunrise, and the changing of seasons -- how would you explain all these phenomena, if the Earth is not round, as you claim?

Fadhel Al-Sa'd: The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in Koranic verses.

[...]

Have you ever seen how the sun moves? I have seen the sun moving. The sun makes one move every 24 hours.

[...]

What I say is based on Koranic science. He bases his arguments on the kind of science that I reject categorically -- the modern science that they teach in schools. This science is a heretic innovation that has no confirmation in the Koran. No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is round or that it rotates. Anything that has no indication in the Koran is false.

His final comment,"Anything that has no indication in the Koran is false."demonstrates not only the threat,but the ability of religion to cause unimaginable destruction and suffering to humankind.Our species won't survive if it can't let go of absolutes.Our ego's are so fragile,the lengths we go to defend the things we identify with,in this case the Koran,are absurd.It doesn't have to be religion,kids ruin friendships over PS3/Xbox debates,adults berate one another for liking a brand of car...

[BenDrinkinEsq]

Religion = fail

[jesuslikedpie]

@BenDrinkinEsq not in quaran= a lie

@SalmanAfzalWahla first of all NASA is not a government institution but an independent operation. secondly medieval muslim scientist already knew the earth is spherical (there even was an understanding of the concept of atoms and such..) but i guess the muslim world wants to go backwards so badly some like to forget they were at the peak of science and technology at one point in time. better look in the mirror before you call someone a moron

[butobuto1]

@acs197 a lot of modern science and technology is based on what we inherited from the medieval islamic scientists and researchers... your statement is oversimplified. you can't blame a religion for the idiocy of people (can you blame all of christianity for creationism?). but i'll stick to atheism just to be sure lol

[acs197]

And to think, over a millenia ago, what is now Iraq was the center of knowledge and free thinking...and then Islam happened.

[lnorman79]

is this guy serious?

o-O m

[mrlogicalman1]

bible says earth has 4corners and is 6000yrs old no need to say more

[TheJunkalos]

haha a freaking ancient greek called eratosthenes more than two thounsand years ago discovered the circumference of the earth...............with two sticks!!!! hahah

[MrKevin486]

Oh god...people still believe this shit? What the holy fuck?

[chinhhhhh]

@SalmanAfzalWahla I am also in the US Air Force and I have seen the earth at a high altitude to know that it is round. I have flown all over the earth to know that it is round. Maybe you just havent experienced something called life. Good luck with that.

[chinhhhhh]

Scientists do know how the Eye works and even have inventions that help your vision kinda of like the prescribed pair of glasses that you wear on your face. I do recommend you get lazik surgery though in the future but still sadly that does not correct your stupidity.
