Quote:You are wrong about mountains not having roots. They are not purely superficial structures. Here's more on the issue of mountains and their geological function. What's nice about this link is that they cite textbooks as well in their explanation. Anyway, as I suggested above this shouldn't turn into a debate about "Is the Qur'an a book of science?" It clearly is not. Your comment about lamps and ornaments is neither here nor there because they are obviously poetic devices. They are descriptors, rather than functional claims about the nature of the universe.

Mountains do not have roots. As noted previously, mountains are the result of plate tectonics, (uplift), or seismic activity.
Further, “superficial structures”? What does that even mean? What is a “non-superficial structure”?
