Quote:i.e. one that exists only on the surface of the earth and does not have roots.
So, the link I provided explains exactly what mountain roots are and how they come about. It actually goes into a fair amount of detail for a layman in geology (which I'll wager most of us here are). If you maintain that the claims on the website (which cites textbooks and gives references) are wrong, then you'll have to explain why.
cheers
Quote:The verse states that mountains perform the function of preventing shocks in the Earth. This fact was not known by anyone at the time the Qur'an was revealed. It was, in fact, brought to light only recently, as a result of the findings of modern geological research.
The above is from the website you linked to. Please discuss for us how “mountains perform the function of preventing shocks in the Earth”.
This appears to contradict the geological record of how mountains were created.
