What is the Van Allen Belt and did you know Van Allen discovered it from Al Quran 1500 years ago?

Question

Allah SWT discribes the protection of the earth and how its is protected by this process to the perfect detail and yet Mr. Van Allen didn't even bother to tell you that he got that information from Muslims. You want more proof ask Steven Hawkings he knows about Jibreal A.s. and the Bang! Ask him!

The process of perpetual coiling, including the interpenetration of one sector by another is expressed in the Qur’an just as if the concept of the Earth’s roundness had already been conceived at the time, which is clearly not the case. “It is He who made the Sun a shining thing and the moon as a light, and measured out their stages . . . ” (10:5) The Qur’an describes the Sun as a “siraj” which means a torch, generating its own heat and light where as the Moon is described “an-nur” which is light originating from another source.

. “Have We not made the earth an expanse; and the mountains stakes?” (78:6-7) “And Allah has cast into the ground mountains standing firm so that it does not shake with you.” (31:10) It has recently been discovered that mountains have roots that go into the earth’s crust which is composed of seven tectonic plates. Their movement is the cause of earthquakes. It is thought that the roots and weight of the mountains play a vital role in stabilizing the earth’s crust.

Answer 2

No quote or link to where Hawkings relates the Van Allen Belt to Islam? I would highly doubt, based on the number of other Islamic science claims I've investigated, that this is overblown and very generically statement and does not offset the other extreme errors, like how man was made or that Mecca was a Holy city before the 5th century CE.

Answer 3

The Van Allen Belt is also mentioned in a great old B52s song: Theres a Moon in the Sky (Called the Moon)

Peace!

Answer 4

Nonsense. The Van Allen belt was discovered by Explorer I, the US's first satellite, in 1958. (Sputnik missed it.)

Answer 5

And here all this time people thought he got that information from a geiger counter aboard a rocket.

Don't you feel even a LITTLE silly, lying like that?

Answer 6

Not so. Re-interpreting scripture in the light of real scientific discoveries is a common deception amongst the religious.

Answer 7

I'm not making fun of Hawkings, but I have to say even with his physical disability effecting his verbal communications, his REAL voice make more sense than you.

Answer 8

He also said that stars could fall: 81:2 And when the stars fall,

That would be a nice trick.

Answer 9

That sounds like a load of crap to me.
