Mo comparison really. If you honestly think that...well, it just betrays your ignorance on the subject. I'm sure you're relatively bright...but I just don't think you know the subject.
Evidence????? it is a religious tract, it needs no evidence, like the buybull, it simply asserts all sorts of wild claims with no proof other than "because I said so!" and pretends to be quoting a mythological diety thingum.
There isn't really any evidence; just an endless repetition over the last 1400 years or so. There's a group of people who revere the Koran (or Qu'ran, if you prefer) as the word of God. They believe one thing, and other groups of people don't.
the change in the length and the direction of the shadow is indication to earth rotation
and the earth rotaion causes the night and day
if the shadow does not change in lenght and direction
that means half of the earth will have night all the time and the other have will have light all the time then the life will be impossible to continue
Have you not seen how your Lord spread the shadow. If He willed, He could have made it still - But We have made the sun its guide (i.e. after the sunrise, the shadow shrinks and vanishes at midnoon and then again appears in the afternoon with the decline of the sun, and had there been no sunlight, there would have been no shadow).
Then We withdraw it to Us a gradual concealed withdrawal.
And it is He Who makes the night a covering for you, and the sleep (as) a repose, and makes the day Nushur (i.e. getting up and going about here and there for daily work, after one's sleep at night, or like resurrection after one's death). 25 .45:47
The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah
is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider's house, if they but knew. 29:41
here the word she is used for the spider in this verse.
and that indicates that it is a female spider .
but why a female spider and not just a spider in general ?
because the female spider is the one who build the house and not male one .
the male spider can help in building the house but the main process is mainly feminine.
Did we not make the earth a receptacle? (Surat al-Mursalat, 25)
The Arabic word "kifatan," translated as "receptacle" in the above verse, means "living things being gathered together and protected in their dwellings, places where living or inanimate things are gathered together; on which things are piled; place where things are collected. "" Kifatan "comes from root word" kafata, "which means" to collect, gather toward one, close embrace. "
With its gravitational force, the earth pulls the human beings and everything else on it, living or inanimate, toward its center. It is very likely that the use of a verb meaning "to pull toward one" refers to this force of gravity. (Allah knows the truth.)
It is thanks to the force of gravity that pulls the animals, plants, human beings and everything else on earth toward itself, that people are able to walk on the ground, stay where they are without flying off into the air, and orbit the earth without flying off into space, and that the rain is able to fall.
Sir Isaac Newton, regarded as one of the greatest scientists ever, investigated this feature of the earth and and made one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time by speaking of gravity in his book Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) , first published in 1687. The Latin word "attraere" Newton used in discussing gravity also means "to attract, bring together." The reference in the Qur'an to one of the earth's four great forces, only described in the 17th century, is just one of the proofs that the Qur'an was sent down from the presence of Allah.

as far as i know they did not have the technology back then to do such a thing.. i guess noah could have just shrunk the animals to say like 100th of there original size , then he could have fit them on such a small vessel
but why didn't noah with all his powers just make the flood not happen.
Again, until someone can tell me why I need to read a book or believe in a religion started by a man telling me he HEARD voices talking to him, I have NO interest in ascribing to such a religion. Today that same man would be ignored, laughed at, under some serious medication or locked up in the loony bin.
