==Science and the Seven earths== | |||
===Seven Layers of Earth's Atmosphere=== | |||
Secondly, this claim contradicts the Qur'an. The following verse says that stars are located in the lowermost heaven. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|37|07}}| We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars,- }} | |||
Stars are not located in the lowest layer of the atmosphere i.e. troposphere but are light years away from the earth. | |||
===Seven Universes=== | |||
Another common apologetic claim is that these seven heavens are actually seven universes which we are yet to discover. | |||
{{Quote|{{cite web|url=http://www.understanding-islam.com/q-and-a/miscellaneous-issues/what-about-seven-heavens |title=Understanding-Islam.com |publisher= |author= |date= |archiveurl= |deadurl=no}}|It seems that the huge universe that we live in, the one whose boundaries are not yet known to man, is just one of these heavens (universes) there are seven others, of which we -- with all our scientific developments -- do not know anything about.}} | |||
The following verse contradicts such a claim since it says rain was made to fall from heaven. Certainly, rain does not come from outer space. The word used for heaven here is ''sama'', the same as that for the seven heavens. | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|54|11}}|So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth. }} | |||
