The brainlessness of this irrational atheist at Rational Skeptics website is stupendous, nay mind blowing! While responding to another dumbo, he purposely asks the questioner what he means by "stabilizing." His intention is to refute the Quranic information that mountains play a role in the safe keeping of the earth and making it stable. Biased goobers like these masquerading as professionals with flaunty cynicism first need to shake, dust, wash and dry their polluted insight and open up their parochial minds before participating in any discourse.
'Quake' means to tremble or wobble or heave etc. which can be due to a variety of reasons in every context this term is used. Speaking of the earth, that instability or fluctuation or variability or erratic reaction .... call it what you like .... can be caused due to climatic conditions, atmospheric gases or minerals and so on. So let's find out what part mountains play in maintaining an equilibrium which can definitely called "stability" or a "stabilizing" source as well.
Briefly and comprehensively, we'll check at the
Quartz website on the importance of mountains for the well-being and security of Earth, which can also be addressed as a stabilizing factor. Below I've quoted a few excerpts from this site. But if you get the time, visit the site and read the details that tell us the vital role mountains play in trapping minerals in the Earth's crust and consequently how that helps to stabilize the atmosphere and the planet.
"
It's true - the hills make us feel alive. If it weren’t for mountains, our planet might be an orbiting husk. That’s the finding of a new paper in the journal Nature (paywall), which suggests mountains act as elevators for minerals deep in the earth that may play a crucial role in stabilizing the atmosphere."
Also "
the forces that churn the earth’s crust into jagged peaks also help our climate stay relatively stable in between catastrophes—such as meteor impacts, solar storms, and industrial revolutions."
Furthermore, experts admit "
that the methodology isn’t perfect. Extrapolating data from a single place to an entire planet and an incredible timespan is something of a necessity, because the earth’s chemistry is not something you can easily measure in laboratory-sized chunks." That's a plain admission that scientific studies (in this case geology) cannot ever be foolproof. All such research can only compile data and study them to draw possible conclusions. Some of those possibilities might be the actual truth, some maybe close to the truth, some may contain only a shred of truth and some may be totally wrong. The degree of accuracy might never be proven for a long time or in many cases never at all. Hence, we as believers say, Allah knows best. But the arrogance of disbelievers distracts them from the task of fact-finding to obdurate arguments & disputes often culminating as a shitstorm only for the sake of challenging with little concern for the precision or correctness of the substance in focus.
Geologists are not sure of the precise problems Earth would face without tectonics. But they do know and admit that without it the Earth certainly wouldn't be the same. The Quranic reference in Verse 16:15 is a huge pointer of the necessity of mountains and automatically of the necessity of tectonics that play a vital role in the creation of mountains.
Very vital point and thoroughly perceived.
Hatred towards the Quran and the growing human instinct of challenging it have reached such heights that if skeptical geologists realize that a certain geological issue conforms with any part of Quranic information, they try to withhold that information or give it twist in their attempt to show that the Quran is wrong.
You've caught on to their mischief very intelligently Sister. This is exactly what's happening and getting increasingly widespread among this lot. In the process they are ruining science. Even if they intentionally have to tender an incorrect scientific information, they will do it, if that helps them to refute the truth contained the Noble Quran. In fact these croaking toads, frogs and polliwogs have come to such a stage that whenever any scientific issue is under discussion and that aspect is also within the Quran, their focus shifts from that particular scientific topic. Subsequently their discussion turns into a debate with the goal of simply constructing an eyewash using bombastic technical terms for the purpose of contradicting the Quranic information and looking victorious. May the the filth of their vile ego land them to Hellfire forever. Ameen.
And again for the information of our readers, the Noble Quran has given us all such spectacular contents on spot-on scientific facts in the 7th century. Not just that, but since the Quran delivered what we would today call 'modern data or statistics' more than 1400 years ago, Allah Almighty has chosen the kind of terms and the style of expression that would be easy for communities in that era and those that followed immediately to grasp. This is another point which disbelieving dolts overlook.
Sister Heba, many thanks for your brilliant work.
