Iraqi TV Debate: Is the Earth Flat?

Back


A debate between an Iraqi "Researcher on Astronomy" and a physicist on Iraqi television. Apparently, this is an important question in the Islamic world... -From the transcript- Interviewer: Lunar and solar eclipses, sunset and sunrise, and the changing of seasons -- how would you explain all these phenomena, if the Earth is not round, as you claim? Fadhel Al-Sa'd: The sun circles the Earth because it is smaller than the Earth, as is evident in Koranic verses. Have you ever seen how the sun moves? I have seen the sun moving. The sun makes one move every 24 hours. What I say is based on Koranic science. He bases his arguments on the kind of science that I reject categorically -- the modern science that they teach in schools. This science is a heretic innovation that has no confirmation in the Koran. No verse in the Koran indicates that the Earth is round or that it rotates. Anything that has no indication in the Koran is false. ------------------ RACIST COMMENTS DIRECTED AT WHAT PEOPLE ARE WEARING, MAKING FUN OF HOW THEY ARE TALKING, OR THE COLOUR OF PEOPLE'S SKIN WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.
