Regarding Dr Zakir Naiks (and about 10,000,000 others) claims that the Earth is shaped like an Ostrich egg:
As far as I understand the claim is from Sura 70/30, which in all the translations I've got mentions nothing about an ostrich egg; which is mainly round but a little squashed in the middle. If the claim is true verily it is most impressive.
I have an Iraqi friend who says that there is no mention of an egg in the verse. He says that the verse says something like "The Earth is spread out like an ostrich nest". I've seen ostrich nests and they're round and flat. A bit like how most people imagined the earth to be in the 7th century.
If you speak Arabic, how would you translate this verse?
Egg or nest?
I had(have) a video on the subject (currently unlisted but still on my channel) which refutes this claim.
It will be remade in the coming weeks.
