Scientific Errors in the Quran: Difference between revisions

The Qur'an is emphatic that ''all'' animals live in communities. Some animals such as the jaguar or leopard are well known for being solitary creatures, rarely meeting in pairs and only to mate. They do not live in communities and routinely fight each other over territory.

 

There are also species even whose young are not raised as a family, which lay eggs and abandon them before hatching. Sea Turtles bury their eggs on a beach and leave them. When an egg hatches the baby turtle must dig to the surface and make a sprint to the sea or perish. Some reptiles behave similarly. An even better example is the Carolina anole, which is a lizard species. They lay just a single egg every 2 weeks, around 10 in total, each taking 5 to 7 weeks to hatch. Anole hatchlings much fend for themselves and are by nature solitary creatures from birth.

'''There is not an animal in the earth, nor a flying creature flying on two wings, but they are peoples like unto you.''' We have neglected nothing in the Book (of Our decrees). Then unto their Lord they will be gathered.}}
