RE:ROTATION OF SUN AND MOON

Dr. Bucaille explains that modern science has worked out the details of the sun%u2019s orbit as follows:
%u201CTo complete one revolution on its own axis, the galaxy and the sun take roughly 250 million years. The sun travels roughly 150 miles per second in the completion of this%u201D (The Bible, the Quran and Science, p. 162).

After describing this, Dr. Bucaille comments:
%u201CThe above is the orbital movement of the sun that was already referred to in the Quran fourteen centuries ago.%u201D (The Bible, the Quran and Science, p. 162)
And yet this is a new finding. As Dr. Bucaille says, the knowledge of the sun%u2019s orbit is an acquisition of modern astronomy (The Bible, the Quran and Science, p. 162).
Two verses in the Quran refer to the orbits of the sun and moon. After mentioning the sun and the moon, Allah says:
%u201CEach one is traveling in an orbit with its own motion%u201D (Quran, 21:33; 36:40).
Even after the Quran was revealed, early commentators could not conceive of the orbits of the sun and moon. The tenth century commentator Tabari could not explain this so he said, %u201CIt is our duty to keep silent when we do not know%u201D (XVII, 15 quoted in The Bible, the Quran and Science, p. 161).

What about growing in moral value. Killing people in the name of god or religion is not growth. A ship swings a lot before it sinks.

MUSLIMS are very strong in their MORALS ....
i think its time for you to teach your HINDU rioters some morals ....which is lacking in your religion ...ask them not to torch any womb and not to rape and burn any woman ...ask them to show some mercy on childrens and elders and also women while rioting ...

Mr. younus siddique, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia like "Britinica" created as a free source on the internet, reviewed by persons having knowledge in the relevant fields. The articles on Wiki carries weight over the telecasts of TV Channels like CNN.
Pl put search words "fastest growing religion" in any interent search engine and see the relevant article available at Wikipedia. You will get a fair idea about the claims and counter-claims regarding the religious growth.

Mr. Reddy, are you aware that Wiki is open to correction? They will update their articles when authentic information is provided and prominently display when an article is not "unbiased" They show professionalism rather than taking side with one claimant or another.
Pl visit the web of "Actual Freedom - the thrid alternative" This is an Australian Site and is an alternative to organized religions. It will also enrich your knowledge.
Also download and read "The Necessity of Atheism" feeely available at Project Gutenberg to know more about the "good works" of the religions!
