THE QURAN EXPLAINS GEOLOGY

The Challenge of The Qur’an ~ 367 ~ This theory was first properly expounded in the year 1915 by a German geologist, Alfred Wegener. Together, they could be fitted into one another like a Jigsaw puzzle. For instance, the eastern coast of South America joins with the western coast of Africa, etc. There are several other such resemblances to be found on opposite coasts of vast oceans, e.g. mountains of the same kind, rocks dating back to the same geological period, animals, fishes and plants of the same type and so on. Professor Ronald Good, in his book entitled, Geography of the Flowering Plants, writes that botanists are almost unanimous in their view that the presence of certain types of plants in various regions of the earth cannot be explained unless we suppose that, at some point in the past, these tracts of land were joined together. Some fossil magnetism having supported this theory, it has become an established scientific doctrine. A study of the particular direction of stone particles reveals the altitude and latitudes of the rock of which they formed a part in ancient times.
