By the sky which returns. (Quran 86:11)
[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling (Quran 2:22)
In the first verse God swears by the sky[1] and its function of returning without specifying what it returns. In Islamic doctrine, a divine oath signifies the magnitude of importance of a special relation to the Creator, and manifests His majesty and the supreme Truth in a special way.
The second verse describes the Divine Act that made the sky a ceiling for the dwellers of earth.
Let us see what modern atmospheric science has to say about the role and function of the sky.
The atmosphere is a word which denotes all the air surrounding the earth, from the ground all the way up to the edge from which space starts. The atmosphere is composed of several layers, each defined because of the various phenomena which occur within the layer.
Rain, for one, is returned to Earth by the clouds in the atmosphere. Explaining the hydrologic cycle, Encyclopedia Britannica writes:
Water evaporates from both the aquatic and terrestrial environments as it is heated by the Suns energy. The rates of evaporation and precipitation depend on solar energy, as do the patterns of circulation of moisture in the air and currents in the ocean. Evaporation exceeds precipitation over the oceans, and this water vapor is transported by the wind over land, where it returns to the land through precipitation.[2]
Not only does the atmosphere return what was on the surface back to the surface, but it reflects back into space that which might damage the flora and fauna the earth sustains, such as excessive radiant heat. In the 1990s, collaborations between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of Japan resulted in the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Science Initiative. Polar, Wind and Geotail are a part of this initiative, combining resources and scientific communities to obtain coordinated, simultaneous investigations of the Sun-Earth space environment over an extended period of time. They have an excellent explanation of how the atmosphere returns solar heat to space.[3]
Besides returning rain, heat and radio waves, the atmosphere protects us like a ceiling above our heads by filtering out deadly cosmic rays, powerful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the Sun, and even meteorites on collision course with Earth.[4]
@desiguy55 so your telling me what ALLAH Doesnt say in the Quran as if your the expert?
instead of asking for proof of where He(swt) says it you just deny it being there.
and thats why I can care less...do you really think I care so much for you that I will continue to argue with you?
dont believe in ISLAM and rot in hell for all I care
addios idiot

@desiguy55 wow your way off.
the earth is flat in a sense...in the Quran ALLAH also says the earth is shaped as an ostrich egg NOT FLAT
but when you see it and walk it seems flat that is what is meant by verse
the mountains are as pegs you moron
stars do help those who travel at night idiot...
and ants can talk , wow why dont you stop worshiping your cow and start hitting the library

@TurbanzRus3 No koran doesn't have to show all science but what it proclaims as a fact has to be verified as true. so far it hasn't. here are some things that koran says which aren't true. male fluid doesn't make a baby, earth isn't flat, mountains aren't pegs that hold down the flat earth. moon and ssun aren't same size, moon and sun aren't just above the earth going in a path. stars aren't lamps to guide traveling arabs at night. ants. rocks, trees, cows can't talk. this is just a few.

@desiguy55 lmaao no science
so The Quran has to show all the science in the world? I think you know that your an idiot
you havnt shown me any bad science . show me one then that proves ISLAM to be false

@TurbanzRus3 no you are the stupid one for not recognizing the liar thief muhammed was just giving old information plus some bad information. yes, the koran is on trial for bad science or no science.

@desiguy55 ohh so now you instead of giving facts to your earlier comments you throw new ones at me.
so Now ISLAM is on trial for not telling you about some science. I dont get it. are you trying to be stupid or does it just come naturally to you?

@TurbanzRus3 moore didn't know that Galen had already gave his theories 450 years before muhammed. for his this was an amazing discovery. yes there are other so called science facts from the koran in which muhammed went with the prevailing opinions of the time. take the earth, muhammed thought of it as a fixed flat land with the sun and moon as living entities who were carried around in chariots and the sun had to ask allah to rise again.

@desiguy55 oh ok so now its old
whats impresss me is that you people claim the Quran is not accurate and hadiths have been changed and we dont really know if Muhammed(p) said it, but galen def wrote about the embryo lmaaao
lets assume he did...so what about the other 40 scientific miracles in the Quran
and how did galen ...and show me what galen actually said, because as stated in the video some things have not been discovered till this century so your bs can only go so far

@TurbanzRus3 Sorry but this embroyology info was old by the time muhammed restated it. If you buy Moore’s latest sixth edition University textbook called "The developing human", he actually directs his readers to read an essay by Basim Musallam, who we just quoted. who shows that the Koran merely echoes what Greek doctor "Galen" wrote 450 years earlier. It seems Dr. Moore is not as impressed today.
