>> And if you look at the reality - which you are sure is being described in the Koran - it is not circular or elliptical either . The galaxies are always receding away from each other at 200,000kph and at an increasing rate. So therefore the true path of the Sun in space is a lopsided spiral. Why was not this mentioned in the Koran. It is as obvious as the solar year isn't it????

expansion of the universe eh? ok. heres an ayah from surah sura 51, verse 47

"The heaven, We have built it with power. Verily. We are expanding it."

so there you go. reality staring at you fom 1400 year old pages of a book. i forgot to add this in my last post. better late then never i guess.
