 ===Earth Made of Seven Layers===

-Many Muslims have come up with some extraordinary claims, including the claim that modern science proves the Qur'an correct in asserting the earth is made of 7 "layers". This article seeks to show the error of the claim that verse 65:12 shows the earth is composed of 7 layers. In truth, the earth is not composed of 7 layers, but 5. Even if the earth was composed of 7 layers, it doesn't alter the fact that if these apologists cared to delve a little deeper into their own sources they would discover that the 7 earths being referred to in verse 65:12 are in fact flat islands, one under the other.
