<option weight="1">{{Pictorial-Islam|1=Arab Transmission of the Classics|2=[[File:SophoclesTurk.gif|190px|link=Arab Transmission of the Classics]]|3=The Arab transmission of the classics is a common and persistent myth that Arabic commentators such as Avicenna and Averroes 'saved' the work of Aristotle and other Greek philosophers from destruction. According to the myth, these works would otherwise have perished in the long European dark age between fifth and the tenth centuries. Thus the versions of Aristotle used in the West were translations from the Arabic, which came from the South West of Europe in the reconquest of Spain from the Muslims during the twelve and thirteenth centuries.
This is incorrect. It was actually the Byzantines in the East who saved the ancient learning of the Greeks in the original language, and the first Latin texts to be used were translation from the Greek, in the 12th century, rather than, in most cases, the Arabic, which were only used in default of these.

Muslim apologists claim that Surah 25:53 of the Qur’an is scientifically accurate. They conclude that since the process was unknown to humankind during the time of Muhammad, this verse (and the Qur’an as a whole) is revealed by Allah. This article will prove the verse in question is scientifically wrong. Also it will prove that a layman could make a better guess than the allegedly divine author of the Qur'an. In summary, we will: briefly introduce you to a real river-estuary-ocean system, make logical deductions based on the verse and see how far only common sense can take us, explain what the verse claims on the meeting of fresh and salt water, explain what elementary science tells us about the process, explain what modern science tells us about the process, show you how apologists "prove" this “scientific miracle”, and state our analysis on the “scientific miracle”.
