Doesn't really negate my point.
Technically, neither did anything else. All Things are ultimately Stardust.
But iron can still form on Earth.
...and that also doesn't address my point at all.
Likely Mohammad was simply drawing upon that commonly used motif.
IOW, basically, yes. No scientific miracle here.
Why'd Allah allow that to happen? Why not reveal in a language that's actually more easily translated to other languages? Heck, knowing that English would become so commonplace during the time when the world can rapidly communicate over long distances, why not reveal it in, say, Latin, which translates easily to English and hundreds of other languages, and still widely spoken at the time?
Point is, that verse has nothing to do with how Earthquakes happen.
Yes, "lest it should shift with them"; in other words, "so it[Earth] doesn't shift with them[Mountains]." In English, that sentence is literally saying that the mountains are there so the Earth won't move.
Because it is. I've still not seen any of these "signs", and all the ones people point at are, in fact, not.
Which later verses say will ONLY happen on Judgment Day. But stars die all the time. So, it's wrong.
Yuppers. No scientific miracle here.
Oftentimes, metaphorical images also use abstract images of things that don't exist in the real world.
It's an artistic image, not a description of anything.
There's no reason it should be enough. After all, if it were enough, it wouldn't be special because technically, everything would be made of clay.
Not that I'm aware of.

Personally, I don't even see the need for "scientific miracles". I'm able to confidently believe in the Gods, the Otherworld, Elves, and others without any such thing.
