The Quran on Mountains:
A book entitled Earth is a basic reference textbook in many universities around the world. One of its two authors is Professor Emeritus Frank Press. He was the Science Advisor to former US President Jimmy Carter, and for 12 years was the President of the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, DC. His book says that mountains have underlying roots.1 These roots are deeply embedded in the ground, thus, mountains have a shape like a peg (see figures 7, 8, and 9).





Figure 7: Mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground. (Earth, Press and Siever, p. 413.)





Figure 8: Schematic section. The mountains, like pegs, have deep roots embedded in the ground. (Anatomy of the Earth, Cailleux, p. 220.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)





Figure 9: Another illustration shows how the mountains are peg-like in shape, due to their deep roots. (Earth Science, Tarbuck and Lutgens, p. 158.) (Click on the image to enlarge it.)


This is how the Quran has described mountains. God has said in the Quran:

Have We not made the earth as a bed, and the mountains as pegs? (Quran, 78:6-7)

Modern earth sciences have proven that mountains have deep roots under the surface of the ground (see figure 9) and that these roots can reach several times their elevations above the surface of the ground.2 So the most suitable word to describe mountains on the basis of this information is the word ‘peg,’ since most of a properly set peg is hidden under the surface of the ground. The history of science tells us that the theory of mountains having deep roots was introduced only in the latter half of the nineteenth century.3

Mountains also play an important role in stabilizing the crust of the earth.4 They hinder the shaking of the earth. God has said in the Quran:

And He has set firm mountains in the earth so that it would not shake with you... (Quran, 16:15)

Likewise, the modern theory of plate tectonics holds that mountains work as stabilizers for the earth. This knowledge about the role of mountains as stabilizers for the earth has just begun to be understood in the framework of plate tectonics since the late 1960’s.5

Could anyone during the time of the Prophet Muhammad have known of the true shape of mountains? Could anyone imagine that the solid massive mountain which he sees before him actually extends deep into the earth and has a root, as scientists assert? A large number of books of geology, when discussing mountains, only describe that part which is above the surface of the earth. This is because these books were not written by specialists in geology. However, modern geology has confirmed the truth of the Quranic verses.

North American Indian Prophecies

There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of the plant.

And now we're in the cycle of the animal...coming to the end of that and beginning the cycle of the human being. When we get into the cycle of the human being, the highest and greatest powers that we have will be released to us. They will be released from that light or soul that we carry to the mind. But right now we're coming to the end of the animal cycle and we have investigated ourselves and learned what it is to be like an animal on this earth.

At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit came down and He made an appearance and He gathered the peoples of this earth together — they say on an island which is now beneath the water — (...continued in link)

the earth's surface relative to another can be represented by a rotation of that portion about a particular point; a pole of rotation. The position of each thumback is the approximate location of a pole of rotation of one plate with respect to another.

One of the beauties of this Q/A site is you're free to ask all kinds of questions - some you might not want to ask, but feel you have to and are more comfortable asking from a forum like this.

I love animals dearly, but another question has occurred to me after my last one:-

In view of various viruses that have plagued the planet recently and the mass culls that followed, in the interests of the NATURAL BALANCE OF NATURE, has anyone posed the hypothetical question that if we were to systematically destroy every last animal on earth, apart from just leaving insects and microscopic life, what would be the end result?

E.g. certain animals have adapted to the way we live and either learnt to live with us and even help us live, over and above being livestock (some intimately like cats and dogs), or inspite of us. Some occasionally attack us, when too much of their territory is invaded or for other reasons.

What I want to know is - would nature SENSE this and fight back & how ?

In order for C-14 to be accurate at all( I understand its only good up to 60,000), this ratio must be that same now as it was yesterday. But test show that just in the past 100 years that it varies considerably. And Calibration methods seem to only narrow the error down to 200%. Isn't it time to through this dating method out yet?

I am just wondering about the Dates and how they allow enough time for evolution.
The first Sea Mollusk (Sea Shells) 500 million years ago
The first Sea Turtles 350 million years ago
The first man 50 million years ago (Both Homo Sapien and Neanderthal)

I have never heard just how long Evolution is supposed to take, but this does not seem nearly enough time for the complex changes involved.

Does anyone know how long it should take to evolve from Sea Turtle to man?

I heard somebody say long time ago that every part of the human body can be traced back to the earth - like water and iron etc and that everything comes from the earth etc etc. Does anybody know what this is?
