well MODERATE,

IM GLAD YOU PASSED 2ND GRADE GEOGRAPHY, UNFORTUNATLY THE KORAN SEEMS TO DISAGREE ONCE AGAIN WITH COMMON LOGIC.

"It is He who hath made the earth level for you: traverse then its broad sides, and eat of what He hath provided. - Unto Him shall be the resurrection." (Sura 67:15).

"When the Heaven shall have split asunder and duteously obeyed its Lord; and when Earth shall have been stretched out as a plain, and shall have cast forth what was in her and become empty..." (Sura 84:1-4). MOHAMMED SPEAKING ON THE END OF DAYS

"And the Earth -- we have stretched it out like a carpet; and how smoothly have we spread it forth!" (Sura 51:48). Only with a great many tucks, darts and safety pins is a 'carpet' fitted to a round planet.

"He hath spread the earth as a bed, and hath traced out paths for you therein, and hath sent down rain from Heaven, and by it we bring forth the kinds of various herbs..." (Sura 20:55).
