	Note that there is no mention of orbits for the heavens or the earth in the Qur'an. An orbit is only mentioned for the sun and the moon, and the stars have falling places/times (مَوَٰقِعِ - inflected as an Arabic noun of time or place http://www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume8/00000312.pdf Lane's Lexicon Volume 8 page 3058]</ref>~~) ({{Quran\|56\|75}}~~). For the Qur'an to be scientific, it must contain accurate statements in regards to all that is visible i.e. material objects and phenomena. How can Allah appeal to such things as signs of his power and existence if he fails to make his case obvious?		Note that there is no mention of orbits for the heavens or the earth in the Qur'an.

	All the evidence in the Qur'an points very strongly to the fact that the author had been observing the universe, not from the heavens, but from the Arabian Desert. The author tells us that the heavens are above the earth. Why? Because he was looking at the heavens from the Arabian floor and not from the vast space above or below. Otherwise Allah would have seen the Milky Way as a disc. Our solar system too is a disc. The earth is just one of the planets moving around the sun. However, in the the Qur'an we find the sky mistakenly being referred to as if it were a solid structure that could fall upon the earth and crush people and things between them. There are verses upon verses which lead us to these conclusions.
