Quranic Miracles

[Ruggedtouch]

It's a lot more than you've done. So far, you seem to be demanding an awful lot of evidence and offering precious little of your own.

I'm only requiring you to support your claims (scientific miracles in the quran), with evidence. I haven't seen it

You're right -- and as one of my early posts in this thread noted, Muslims run into problems for this very reason. The Qur'an is not a book of science, and although it is obvious that certain things are being described poetically while others are not, it certainly does create a bit of a ruckus when we attempt to sort the two. You'll get no argument from me there that at the least it can *appear* to be dishonest when Muslims try to do so. That's why I hate these debates.

Then why attempt to support an unsupportable claim that mountains stabilize tectonic plates when mountains are the result of the butting together of tectonic plates?

I don't know why you keep insisting that it's unanswered. The site very specifically addresses your claims.
1. You are wrong that mountains have no roots.


2. It is not news that mountains are formed by plate tectonics. The site explains this, and it is not problematic.


3. The site describes how a presence of a mountain stabilizes plates.


You have at no point addressed any of these claims. All you have done is say that the site is wrong. Now that leaves the question: Can you back it up?

1. Are you now back to roots or pegs?



2. Plate tectonics cause uplift of the overlying stratum from the pressure of the underlying stratum. That's not a root/peg, that's uplift of the overlying stratum from the pressure of the underlying stratum. Seems simple enough.


3. A site with a religious bias posts religiously motivated dogma and you believe it true. That's fine but it clashes with facts. When earthquakes and volcanoes happen primarily along zones of uplift (do a search on the USGS site or search for "ring of fire", it becomes plainly obvious that mountains do not stabilize the earth. Mountains and uplift are the result of plate tectonics which is exactly the opposite of a stable crust.
