![]() Reply 2: Ptolemy believed in the round earth: If the Earth was flat, then at any given time we would all see the same stars, and we don’t. The sky over the northern hemisphere is not the same as the sky over the southern hemisphere. In other words, you see different sets of stars in the night sky depending on where you are. For quite a small change of position to south or north causes a manifest alteration of the horizon.” “Again, our observations of the stars make it evident, not only that the Earth is circular, but also that it is a circle of no great size. This can be found in his book “On heavens” where he writes: The general consensus of the start of Islam is around 610 A.D, meaning that Aristotle discovered the correct shape of the earth 1000 years before Islam. Reply 1: Aristotle (384-322 B.C) said the earth was round: Who could have mentioned that? So he (an atheist that a Muslim is debating) will tell you “ahh your prophet (p.b.u.h) was intelligent man”. Imagine, the Quran mentioning that the earth is geo-spherical 1400 years ago. In a lecture immediately after mentioning the miracle, Zakir Naik appears to claim that the Quran is the earliest source that mentions the earth being geo-spherical Part 1: prior knowledge of the round earth So how true is this alleged miracle? Well as I stated in my previous article, there are 3 main criteria that must be met for the claim to actually be a miracle.
