| ==Conclusion==
| | <br /> |
| | |
| The scientific evidence does not support any of the claims concerning the Qur'anic verse 65:12 and its scientific accuracy.
| |
| | |
| Earth's atmosphere is divided into five main layers based on temperature. Within these five principal layers, several secondary layers may be distinguished by other properties. There is no classification into 7 layers.
| |
| | |
| Verse 37:6 further disproves the claim because it says the stars are in the lowest heaven.
| |
| | |
| Modern geology states that there are only four or five layers of the Earth, or up to eight if the new hypotheses of the subcore georeactor are accepted. Without the double-counting of layers, There is no classification into 7 layers.
| |
| | |
| The number of continents is traditionally considered seven, but there are only six as Europe and Asia are technically a single land mass (i.e. Eurasia) and on the same tectonic plate. Therefore, the traditional number of seven continents is more a cultural bias than an actual geographical/geological fact.
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, if one delves a little deeper into the Islamic sources, it is discovered that the seven earths being referred to in verse 65:12 are in fact flat islands, one under the other.
