Someone posted a "miracle" on facebook group
"In deep seas and oceans, the darkness is found at a depth of 200 meters and deeper. At this depth, there is almost no light, and below a depth of 1,000 meters there is no light at all. (1)

Today, we know about the general formation of the sea, the characteristics of the living things in it, its salinity, as well as the amount of water it contains, and its surface area and depth. Submarines and special equipment, developed with modern technology, have enabled scientists to obtain such information.
Measurements made with today's technology have revealed that between 3 and 30 percent of the sunlight is reflected at the surface of the sea. Then, almost all of the seven colours of the light spectrum are absorbed, one after another, in the first 200 metres, except for blue light . Below a depth of 1,000 metres, there is no light at all
This phenomenon could not have been known 1400 years ago. Here is how Quran Describes this phenomenon:
Or [the unbelievers' state] are like the darkness of a fathomless sea which is covered by waves above which are waves above which are clouds, layers of darkness, one upon the other. If he puts out his hand, he can scarcely see it. Those Allah gives no light to, they have no light. (Qur'an, 24:40)"
I posted a video of Islammiracle in response
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qryFbSu5Soche gave the following response to the video
Firstly your video does not refutes the miracle it merely provides that other alterntive interpreation. but this point is irrelvant. the correct interpreatation of the verse is one whch is in scientific context. moreover i have already said that the mere fact that it is POSSIBLE to interprate a verse in a scientific manner is a miracle because most verse only have 2 to 3 altrenative interpreations at max and when we see that there are 30+ such prohphecies the probability that its just happened by chance is VERY VERY VERY LOW.
Seconly your video references books like illiaid etc . MUHAMMAD(PBUH) was NOT IN CONTACT WITH THESE BOOKS. THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU TO PROOF THAT.
THIRDLY pearl divers cannot dive below the depth where sea becomes 100% dark so it is wrong to say Prophet knew from pearl diving. moreover Prophet never went to sea and never wen pearl diving.
i m not in science stuff....is there any detailed video refuting this claim
or anyone here who can refute
