The Holy Quran correctly categorized that there were 11 planets in our solar system, with the sun and moon. The astronomers and scientists till recently could only observe 9 planets and this was taught in schools till recently when space science enabled the realization and addition of the ‘dwarf planets’, making a total of 11.

Note- the ancients could only see and hence only knew of 6 planets ( 5 + Earth). These were visible to the naked eye and were identified by their ‘orbit’ motion as compares to stars. See: WikiAnswers-Six Planets

Quran: Chapter Yusuf(Joseph) A.

12:4. When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me.

Bible also has a similar tale, lost a little in translation. Genesis 37:9 {Click for Hebrew original lexicon}

And science has it thus;- UniverseToday.com:

Are you wondering how many planets are in the Solar System? Until just a few years ago, there were 9 planets in the Solar System. However, the International Astronomical Union decided that Pluto is no longer a planet, so there are now only 8 planets in the Solar System.

The IAU decided that Pluto and Eris should be reclassified as dwarf planets. The asteroidCeres meets those requirements, so it’s a dwarf planet too .

So, how many planets in the Solar System? Until a new, large object is discovered out beyond Pluto, there are only 8 planets, and 3 dwarf planets. (Total= 11)

Dendera Bulb, built to specification

developed the electric bulb, battery and electric technology. Or that space travel and exploration, and high tech engineering construction are unique to our age. This article demonstrates as I found out from a recent show on the History Channel, and as I was made to understand from reading the Quran that, as the Quran nicely puts it:

[Quran 40:21] Have they not traveled in the earth and seen how was the end of those who were before them? Mightier than these were they in strength– and in fortifications in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not for them any defender against Allah.

[Quran 30:14, Chapter Ar-Room{Rome}] Do they not travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those before them? They were superior to

them in strength: they tilled the soil and populated it in greater numbers than these have done: there came to them their apostles with Clear (Signs). (Which they rejected, to their own destruction): It was not Allah Who wronged them, but they wronged their own souls.

This clearly indicates to us that when we think we are the greatest civilization and most advanced, we need only travel to find out that greater and more advanced peoples inhabited the earth long before us and all ended abruptly in their arrogance.

Now here is the evidence:

Dendera Bulb in Egyptian Cave

1. Light Bulb technology.
Surprisingly, contrary to what you may have learned in school, the Africans in Egypt are clearly found to have developed this technology thousands of years before our generation. This was observed in temples of Dendera, where the caves were found as reported on the history Channel as having too low levels of oxygen to support lit torch light and pitch dark caves with no soot on the walls, yet perfect carvings that could not have been made in darkness. The picture above clearly depicts what is known today as the electric bulb, complete with the power cord, the transparent case, and the filament.

The resemblance of the Egyptian bulb with ‘modern’ ones is startling! The adventuring Europeans (Alexander the Great et al) came across ancient manuscripts on the manufacture of these technologies and secretly used these in directing their scientific revolution of re-discovery.

Now to use a bulb, some may argue that evidence of ancient batteries must exist. Thank God, we found some of these more than 3000 years old, in Baghdad-

Baghdad Battery

2. Baghdad Batteries
These batteries were discovered recently and are found to be perfect electric cells. In both cases as with all others skeptics argue that aliens introduced these technologies. I call so-called contact with aliens, the simple way of the religions/spiritualists. We the people of the religions Never attribute our success and prowess to ourselves, but always accept and acknowledge the very visible supernatural powers that aid us.

The aliens that helped build these fantastic, yet ordinary technological tools are no different from the aliens that inspired Albert Einstein.

From these pictures that speak louder than any words can, we realize immediately that the ancients
had so much development in technology, construction, exploration and development that contests the best we have to offer today. If we are similarly wiped out by some disaster, and our records lost, it will be just the same for new generations to prove that we developed to the level we did today. And skeptics will likewise argue that the appearance of our technology in our era was not possible by our thinking alone, and that we possibly did not achieve as much and even if we did, we must have been aided by aliens.

I can imagine generations in the future arguing about how we carved the portraits of the founding

fathers on the rock in USA. Seems funny, but that’s the same way we refuse to recognize the advances of generations past. Albeit better preserved than what we may leave behind.

They try to make you believe that so called ‘today’s scientific discoveries’ were made without Spirituality, whereas, in truth these discoveries are plagiarisms of better ones produced in the ancient past, in full spiritual harmony and acknowledgment. Little wonder, our technological era is the most environmentally harmful in earth’s history.

3. Construction technology

In building technology, there is no question that the structures left behind are even more advanced than many engineers today accept they can build in the time frame they were constructed.

Pumanpunku, has blocks of diarite stone, only cut-able by the tougher diamond, left behind that are so perfect and have such phenomenal straight, thin grooves, and other properties that make them architectural feats envied even in our time. So also do the structures of 17,000 year old Tiwanako. Images below.

We must realize our little impact and development, and put it in proper context and not be haughty, arrogant and as foolish as many who get so engulfed in their achievements and start thinking much of themselves, and less of God, the source, till they are wiped out of existence and their achievements are debated as those of aliens or as not what they clearly are.

Sleep (Image: Liveclever.com)

The non believing scientific world with all their modern technology should justify why humans spend almost half of their lives in sleep. Before they figure out more complex things, galaxies and the likes, they should explain this simple thing that affects all of us… a most characteristic, essential activity we are engaged in through out our lives. What is the use of this if not a divine, non physical purpose. Why do we sleep?

Science no doubt professes to have so many answers, aided with their gadgets. So they should at the very least give an evolutionary justification to what we do almost half of our lives. That is significant, very significant!

Now here is the reason for my challenge, which actually stems from the Muslim Quran. The Quran says of sleep:

Quran 78:9 and We have made your sleep [a symbol of] death

Quran 39:42 It is God [alone that has this power - He] who causes all human beings to die at the time of their [bodily] death, and [causes to be as dead], during their sleep, those that have not yet died: ^[44] thus, He withholds [from life] those upon whom He has decreed death, and lets the others go free for a term set [by Him]. In [all] this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who think!

Quran 25:47 And He it is who makes the night a garment for you, and [your] sleep a rest, and causes every [new] day to be a resurrection.

Quran 30:23 And among His wonders is your sleep, at night or in daytime, as well as your [ability to go about in] quest of some of His bounties: in this, behold, there are messages indeed for people who [are willing to] listen!

Upon coming across this, I immediately knew by inspiration that science had no explanation yet for half our lives, – the very essential part spent in sleep, and that evolution does not answer this need. A quick search revealed that I was absolutely right.

NewYork Times:

But even the most gifted scientist on the planet cannot explain why people sleep.

”It may be the biggest open question in biology,” said Dr. Allan Rechtschaffen, a sleep expert and a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago.

Scientists’ ignorance about one of life’s most basic activities is not for lack of trying.

Fifty years of sleep research have ruled out some possibilities and yielded a variety of intriguing leads.

One of the best guesses science has yet given, is that sleep somehow allows the brain neurons rest. But you see, the reason science and evolution can not explain sleep is the simple question- why make a machine that needs to switch off/rest?  Why not evolve in a manner, where you can work and progress in both the day and nocturnally? Why this unique activity that reduces our life time efficacy? Machines are made today that run 24hrs/day all year long. Why need rest?

This is the ultimate challenge. And I invite anyone and everyone to give a none spiritual, extra-earthly realm and dimensional answer to this essential question, or to deny the simple answer or give a reason for the denial of it as I present next.

Now let me explain the basic reality from the Religions Holy book- Quran.

In sleep, we die!

Let’s use the car example that is so often used in attempts to explain sleep. The body should be able to run as a special car driving, 24 hours a day, all several years long. Picture a car driving around. The car only rests, when the driver parks it and leaves. Once the driver is no longer in the car, the car, though capable and able is as dead. So the driver is the soul of the car, and the car, just a vessel. The car dies and is resurrected over and over. The reason it parks is not to rest, even though it cools down, etc at this time. These are not essential but just useful gains of the rest. The rest is a spiritual event, here the soul of the car exits the dimension of the car and enters another dimension. Hence it can easily be proven that sleep and death are two identical states, and there is an additional essence to man, other than the cells and networks that operate him.

If scientists re-channel their efforts on sleep to figuring out the quantitative and qualitative loss of an essence, the soul, while a person sleeps, realizing that the carcass left is just a breathing biological contraption. They will properly understand sleep, and the reality of our existence/life in the earthly realm and our attachment to our Creator/Controller.

Till then, I challenge them to provide evidence of a lack of this disconnection, to prove the functional dissimilarity between a sleeping man and a dead man, and to simply answer- why we sleep.

There is much more to be discussed on the ultimate gain of this recognition, which I shall present to all subscribers in the course of this challenge.

Dedicated to Richard Dawkins, the Pharaoh of the Atheists of our time!

Richard Dawkins admits the mathematical possibility of God… making him an Agnostic — not an Atheist. He also allows for Intelligent Design as long as we are looking for evidence of alien designers (not God). And he also can’t put a figure on the positivity of the ill-doctrine he promotes.

The 2006 Nobel award was given for the Big Bang theory described thus,- (I color coded to elaborate)

“…that the universe began billions of years ago as a tiny dot that exploded into today’s huge system of stars and planets..”
And Quran Science book -
“..see that the heavens and earth were fused as one unit of creation , before We clove them asunder…” (Quran 21:30)

We easily see that this so called science discovery is an exact word for word plagiarism from Allah’s authoritative boastful, confident statement in the earlier Holy Quran Science book.

So it’s evident Scientists actually tapped the Big Bang Idea and our water origin from the 4th century Quran, to propose, promulgate, study and release the theories!

————-

Why is Prophet Mohammed not recognized by the Science committee at large (Many individual scientists do), and accorded His due respect for first publishing this.

He also first described in the Quran how the Universe continues to expand…they may have also stolen that from him/Quran.

Quran: It is We who have built the universe with (Our creative) power, and, verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it. (The Winnowing ways/Scaterers, 51:47)

The Quran goes further to first teach us with all confidence years before Science figured it out that all life began from water.

Quran 21:30 Do the Unbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, before We clove them asunder? We made every living thing from water. Will they not then believe?

This is definitely the source of scientists research and theories on evolution:The Noble Quran, 24:45
And God has created every animal from water: of them there are some that creep on their bellies; some that walk on two legs; and some that walk on four. God creates what He wills for verily God has power over all things

And on life’s origin from water we have:

http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn2259

“…New research shows that primitive cellular membranes assemble more easily in freshwater than in salt water. So although the oldest known fossil organisms were ocean dwellers, life may actually have developed in freshwater ponds….”

http://www.chem.duke.edu/~jds/cruise_chem/Exobiology/sites.html

“….In fact, astronomers are currently examining the satellites of Jupiter, Europa and Ganymeade, and Titan, one of Saturn’s satellites, to see if they contain liquid water and the conditions which may give rise to life as we know it….”

The Muslim Holy Quran clearly predicted and promised the discovery of these as we see here and in several other similar verses:

[Quran 40:21] Have they not traveled in the earth and seen how was the end of those who were before them? Mightier than these were they in strength– and in fortifications in the land, but Allah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not for them any defender against Allah.

[Quran 11.82] So when Our decree came to pass, We turned them upside down and rained down upon them stones, of what had been decreed, one after another.

[Quran 20.128] Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk? Lo! therein verily are signs for men of thought.

It was initially assumed in ancient times that women were responsible for female children, later science figured that the man was sort of more responsible because he carried the Y(male) chromosome. Both these have been found to be wrong in absolute sense, in reality God(Allah) determines sex, but this is through a process of ‘prevalence’ of the contributing gametes by both the male and the female. The first known authentic documentation on this was provided by Prophet Muhammed(P) of Islam in Hadith(records of his narrations):

The Hadith above determines that participation of both parents is required to determination of sex.[1]

Recent advances in fertilization studies showed that sex determination is an electric phenomenon[2], the ovum has an electrical polarity cycle with a changing electrical charge ( positive , neutral , negative) , also Y-carrying sperm has a positive charge & X- carrying sperm has a negative charge .When the ovum is negatively charged , it unites with Y-carrying sperm with the positive charge and a male child is produced . When the ovum is positively charged , it unites with X- carrying sperm with the negative charge and a female child is produced . Thus , the coming child acquires the sex of the gamete (sperm or ovum) that has a positive charge .

According to basics of electricity, the positive charge is the prevalent or the stronger and this fact is in amazing accordance with the hadeeth of prophet Muhammad and proves not only the truth of this hadeeth , but also gives an evidence to his prophethood who had told these facts since 1500 years because in Arabic the term prevail means overcomes or conquers , and it becomes clear that the gamete that has the positive charge overcomes the negative one & the child will have the sex of the prevailing gamete . Thus , male and female share each other in determination of the sex of the coming offspring in accordance with the prophet’s hadeeth.

Although these scientific facts informs us about the way by which one sex is determined , this does not mean that we become able to have the child we desire , Allah , the Almighty , in the noble Qur’an said

“Unto Allah belongeth the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth .He createth what He will. He bestoweth female (offspring) upon whom He will, and bestoweth male (offspring) upon whom He will or He mingleth them, males and females, and He maketh barren whom He will . Lo!He is Knower, Powerful “( Al-Shura , 42 : Ayat 49-50)
