is there a non muslim source for this quote
OP - June 21, 2011, 08:17 AM

Apparantely, Jacques Cousteau said the following. But I cannot find the quote in it's original context. I can only find it on muslim websites who have obviously all copied each other.

"We studied the assertions by certain researchers about barriers separating seas, and noticed that the Mediterranean Sea had its own salinity and density and housed autochthonous fauna and flora. Then we examined the water of the Atlantic Ocean and discovered features entirely different from those of the Mediterranean Sea. According to our expectations, these two seas that merged in the strait of Gibraltar should present similar characteristics in terms of salinity, density and other properties. The two seas presented different features even though they were adjacent. This greatly puzzled us. An incredible barrier prevented the two seas from coming together. The same sort of a barrier had also been observed in Bab Al-Mandab in the Gulf of Aden connecting with the Red Sea. "

I would give that about as much credibility as Neil Armstrong hearing the call to prayer from the Moon.

If those muslim websites don't say where did Cousteau write that, then don't bother.
I searched for the text translated in french and didn't find anything.
