You also missed the point about the Qur'an saying that the stars are in the 'lowest heaven', which you interpreted as the troposphere. There are no stars in the troposphere.
Walmul, you do realize that evolution makes absolutely zero pronouncement on the Big Bang or the origin of life. Evolution holds only that given an original form of life, all present biodiversity could have arisen from this by evolution.
He Who created the seven heavens, one above the other ...
And We have adorned the lowest heaven with lamps ... (67:3,5)
And He completed them seven heavens in two days
and inspired in each heaven its command;
and We adorned the lower heaven with lamps,
and rendered it guarded... (41:12)...
Firstly, it's not a mosque.
Secondly, it's not at Ground Zero.
Thirdly, no-one's ******** about the Japanese garden near Pearl Harbour.
Conclusion, shutup unless you can prove that the imam leading the effort has radical or terrorist leanings.
Evolution has been established. In fact, there is more scientific contention against the Big Bang theory than evolution.
The Forer Effect is documented and evidentially demonstrated.
The Prophet said: "Amongst the nations before you there was a man who got a wound, and growing impatient (with its pain), he took a knife and cut his hand with it and the blood did not stop till he died. Allah said, 'My Slave hurried to bring death upon himself so I have forbidden him (to enter)...

Look around the Internet; there are many examples of spear tips, beads, etc. forged with meteoric iron way before 0 BCE. A quick search of 'Egpytian Meteoric Iron' will throw up multiple examples of this.
Let's do a quick run-over why the iron miracle is very short of miraculous.
The Qur'an was written in the 7th century AD. In the 20th century, explorations in the Valley of Kings and other Egyptian sites uncovered numerous iron-wrought artefacts, such as knives and spearheads in the tombs of...
Neptune and Pluto cross paths.
The Sun does not have a 'resting place'; it is in constant orbit around the galactic centre. The euphemism 'resting place' only makes sense in light of the Sun 'setting' on a particular point on the Earth.
Love to hear it.
That would be astronomy.
A well-observed trend in urbanization is that urban areas tend to spring up next to rivers. So we have a positive corellation between the presence of rivers and urban areas. What you are saying is the equivalent of saying that the river was...
Resorting to twisting science again, eh?
1) Mountains are not like pegs. Pegs are bodies which are staked through a separate body. Mountain 'roots' are part of the crust, not separate entities.
2) Earthquakes still occur and in fact have a higher prevalence near mountain ranges. So they're...
