Quran is not scientific (1)

It's annoying when Muslims claim that there's science in the Quran.

32 Verses in the Quran mention the word "Moon"

69 Verses in the Quran mention the word "Sun" (Including sunset, sunrise & Sunrays)

413 Verses in the Quran mention the word "Earth". Many verses mention the Moon and the Sun's orbit as if they both orbit the earth... Out of 413 "earth" verses, NONE mention an earth in orbit. There are several verses that point to a flat, fixed earth... It's also interesting that there are no verses that describe life on the other side of the earth. Clearly, they thought that the earth was flat, fixed in place and at the center of the universe.

ye i agree with the comments above.....good try but a total waste of time and energy if you as me......your interpreting the quran with ur own biased views........the quaran talks about an axis and we all know the earth spins on its axis..........

@hilariousbollywood "your interpreting the quran with ur own biased views"

No, science shows the evidence and it clearly goes against all holy books. Science is NOT bias.

".the quaran talks about an axis"

So why haven't you give me the chapter and verse? All you've done is copied what you've been told rather than making an investigation yourself.

dude, good try, but your just being stupid. quran says the sun rotates and today we know it does and what u said in ur video is just bullshit, it does say orbit. sigh, may allah guide u:)

@SuperElamite "and today we know it does"

What do you mean "TODAY"???? I thought the quran told us 1400 years ago??

What you and other Muslims do is WAIT until science shows the evidence THEN claim the quran mentioned it first. Science didn't get the information from islam!

Anyways, 91-1 says "...BY THE MOON WHEN IT FOLLOWS THE SUN,..."

All the verses are written from a personal perspective, none mention the earth's orbit.

@SCIENCESAVE5

read the arabic version, there are may english translations. my quran says different things than urs in english

[SCIENCESAVE5]

@SuperElamite I can't understand Arabic. But the point is that an all powerful god should have guided the translation process so it was VERY easy to understand in any other language.

Another point is that - are you suggesting that any muslim that cannot understand Arabic (most muslims) cannot be a muslim?

When i criticize Islam you blame the poor translations. So, if there are bad translations HOW can non arabic speaking people understand the quran?

bible says earth is flat , IS 6000YRS OLD AND HAS 4CORNERS PURE PROOF BIBLE IS BULLSHIT. IT DOESNT EVEN MENTION UNIVERSE IS EXPANDING OR ABOUT BIG BANG, OR EVEN BLACKHOLES

quran has nothing to do with science.

@SuperElamite I think you meant to say revolve, rotate is like on an axis or spin. This video says "the word Earth...413 times in the Quran," this is wrong because the word "Earth" is not Arabic. Don't start this because this is where islam teaches that the Bible is wrong because it's in English (meaning that it has been translated from the original), well good thing the original Hebrew and Greek exist,and they match, every time a new ancient copy is found, every time, submit.
