Your argument is defeated. Try to take it graciously.
Seeing as Fatihah is so overly proud of his ignorance, I honestly see no point or reason to continue.
The facts have been presented to him.
He flat out refuses to see anything that contradicts his beliefs.
He so much refuses to see the truth he claims to covet to the point of his even twisting the truth around to support his own lies.
Any one who is that far gone is beyond help unless they actually want help.
And so far Fatihah is more than content living in his lies.
So content in fact, that he sees proof of his being flat out wrong as proof of his being right.
Confirming once again, that fundamentalists are the same the world over - regardless of which God they worship or which book they choose as sacred.
I see a statement. Where is the proof?Response: I never said that isostasy had anything to do with earthquakes. But it does when it comes to the formation of mountains.
It is generally accepted that the earth is a dynamic system that responds to loads in many different ways, however isostasy provides an important 'view' of the processes that are actually happening. Nevertheless, certain areas (such as the Himalayas) are not in isostatic equilibrium, which has forced researchers to identify other reasons to explain their topographic heights (in the case of the Himalayas, by proposing that their elevation is being "propped-up" by the force of the impacting Indian plate).
Isostasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaWhen continents collide, the continental crust may thicken at their edges in the collision. If this happens, much of the thickened crust may move downwards rather than up as with the iceberg analogy. The idea of continental collisions building mountains "up" is therefore rather a simplification. Instead, the crust thickens and the upper part of the thickened crust may become a mountain range.
However, some continental collisions are far more complex than this, and the region may not be in isostatic equilibrium, so this subject has to be treated with caution.
Well, you tried, Painted Wolfie. It just proves the old adage that "you can lead a muslim to the answer, but you can't make him think". It's tragic, really. *sniffle*Shame really.
Not really, you need someone to rip on.Well, you tried, Painted Wolfie. It just proves the old adage that "you can lead a muslim to the answer, but you can't make him think". It's tragic, really. *sniffle*

Not really. Your Muslim counterparts have been exposed to some REAL science, yet they deny what the rest of the sane world belives, and decide to believe whatever the book tells them.Take out the word 'muslim' and replace it with 'atheist' and will work perfectly.

Have you grasped it yet Fatihah

Isostasy actually is an iffy question when you talk about mountains... not all mountains are isostatic (Himalayas for example)...
And who's model of Isostasy do you use?
Isostasy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fatihah may think my links support his views... but that just shows he never really bothered to read them. Shame really.

The fact that you quoted, from Wikipedia on the other thread, an isostatic process as being evidence that mountains stabilise the earth for your mountains prevent the earth from shaking argument. It is almost as if, not only are you misunderstanding the words of others, but you are also misunderstanding the words you yourself write.Response: Show me where I said that isostasy has anything to do with earthquakes? Your inability to do so is the proof.
So the fact that mountains are not isostatic and can form without it doesn't bother you at all?
You will still insist that the Qur'an was talking about isostasy being the cause of mountains?
Which model of isostasy exactly?

Response: Your inability to comprehend is no fault of mine. No where have I said isostasy is the reason why the earth does not shake nor can you quote any post in which I have. You can however do what you've been doing by quoting something then giving your meaning and not the actual meaning.

I am also not allowing you to squirm away by claiming that the earth shaking is different from earthquakes. They are definitional equivalents. It is, however, rather amusing to see you try and argue against a tautology.
Response: "definitional equivalents"? Speaking of givings words your own meaning...
