Quranic Miracles

[Khairan]

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

The evidence has been offered. You haven't addressed it.

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?

Again, how are these two mutually exclusive? The argument expressly states that the mountains resulted from plates colliding, and *after* they have been formed they stabilize the land mass.

1. Are you now back to roots or pegs?

Stop being disingenuous -- I have made it clear that "roots" comes from pegs, and explained why. If you need further clarification, then see Muslimah's post below.

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.

Wrong. Not only is there uplift, but other rock gets pushed down. The articles I've linked, which you still ignore, have expressly addressed this.

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.

Indeed, the site does have religious bias. However, they name their sources and they refer to geology texts in their discussion. So your argument that they are "biased," while true, fails to be a proof of anything. Like I said, provide EVIDENCE that mountainous areas are more unstable than areas that are not mountainous.
