so I just made a thread earlier and was looking at chapter 25 after quoting a verse from it. there seems to be even more contradictions.
25:45
the length of a shadow is based upon where on the earth's surface you are and the earths rotation on its axis while orbiting the sun.(sunrise to sunset)Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.
the above verse shows a complete lack of understanding. it is what a medieval person looking up into the sky would assume how the shadow is casted.
also the following verses
25:46
25:47Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.
(Pickthal)
Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal?
only reinforces it.And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.
its an idea that light shines already, but sun is an indication. and night is a "covering".
night isnt a covering/clothing, its the side of the earth not facing the sun.
if not for the sun, the earth wont even be in the first place let alone being in full darkness.
