An Islamic look at Earth's Iron Core

[FreeAtLast]

Hi all,

I found this interesting video on the Earth's Iron Core:

Does any other religion relate to this in any way? Also what are your thoughts on this

Thanks

Didn't watch the video, but if this is the old bullshit claim about Quranic verses that say that Iron was sent down to Earth, I'm not convinced that it's even a remotely interesting coincidence. The verse clearly talks about iron being sent down to humans because it's beneficial, not being sent down to form the core of the Earth. It's a bit like using the greek myth of Prometheus sending humans the fire being real because the core of the Earth is hot.

Yeah the first half of the video was good, although speculative.

Great graphics, and very little science, at the level of a public school audience.

But the Koran tacked on the end, is sort of like opponents of evolution quoting evolutionists as authorities. Its piggy-backing at best.

The actual quote from the Koran was unconvincing. If the author of the Koran had meant us to understand something about the core of the earth, he could have been alot more specific and clear.

What, have they given up on trying to convince us that Mohammed predicted the speed of light? :rolleyes:

nice of Allah to send most of the iron somewhere where nobody can get to it.
