    I think over the billions of year the moon has been there, following the chaotic crash of that other planet with earth, that the moon's orbit has changed considerably.

    Or just a semiticised version of the Greek word"Diabolos".

    Blasphemer.

     `Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad.  You're mad.'
     `How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
     `You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

    That's a bloody pedantic definition of orbit.

    Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West. bunny

    Apologies if this has already been discussed

    Quote
    “O you who believe! be not like those who disbelieve and say of their brethren when they travel in the earth or engage in fighting: Had they been with us, they would not have died and they would not have been slain; so Allah makes this to be an intense regret in their hearts; it is Allah who gives life and causes death and Allah sees what you do.” (3:156)


    The classic about this is I think the Mamluk armies who refused to use guns - not a good idea!

    This is actually an apologist lie. The Qur’an uses the word “wajada,” which means “he found” and is best translated as “he found.” The qur’an could have easily said “ra’aaha ka’annahaa taghrubu fi ainin…,” or “he saw it as if it were setting in a fetid spring.” Instead, it says “wajadahaa taghrubu fi ainin hami’atin…,” or “He found it setting in a fetid spring.”

    Now, the apologists love to say that the word “wajada” or “he found” implies Thul Qarnain’s perception and not the reality, but that is absolute nonsense. The same word is used in the same surah for other things that travelers found. For example, “wa wajada ‘indaha qawma” or “he found there at a people.” Does that mean that they only appeared to be people? Were they really monkeys or grizzly bears?

    Also, in the story of Musa and khidr in the same surah, it says “wajadaa fihaa jidaaran yureedu an yanqadha..” “They found therein a wall which was about to collapse.” Did it only appear to be a wall? Was it really just a hanging bed sheet?

    It is so silly the things they will say.


    And what of the other defence, that apparently he reached a place at the time of sunset or something like that?
