Fahrenheit, and they glow. A meteor compresses air in front of it. The air heats up, in turn heating
the meteor.[48] Earth is surrounded by a magnetic force field — a bubble in space called "the
magnetosphere" tens of thousands of miles wide. The magnetosphere acts as a shield that protects
us from solar storms. However, according to new observations from NASA's IMAGE spacecraft and
the joint NASA/European Space Agency Cluster satellites, immense cracks sometimes develop in
Earth's magnetosphere and remain open for hours. This allows the solar wind to gush through and
power stormy space weather. Fortunately, these cracks do not expose Earth's surface to the solar
wind. Our atmosphere protects us, even when our magnetic field does not.[49] How would it be
possible for an illiterate man to describe the sky in a manner so precise that only recent scientific
discoveries have confirmed?
The Qur'an (13/3) also says, "…And fruit of every kind He made in pairs..." Fruit is the end
product of reproduction of the superior plants. The stage preceding fruit is the flower, which has male
and female organs (stamens and ovules). Once pollen has been carried to the flower, they bear fruit,
which in turn matures and frees its seed. All fruits therefore imply the existence of male and female
organs; a fact that is mentioned in the Qur'an. In certain species, fruit can come from non-fertilized
flowers e.g. bananas, certain types of pineapple, fig, orange, vine, etc. They also have definite sexual
characteristics.
The story of Moses holds many lessons for humankind. One part of the story in particular has intrigued
people for centuries – the parting of the Red Sea and the drowning of the Egyptians. All three major
monotheistic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam tell relatively the same story, but the Qur'an
seems to provide highly accurate information regarding this issue. While all versions include the
parting of the Red Sea, the Qur'an (10/92) tells us that Pharaoh drowned and his body has been
preserved for all time as a sign: "Today We will preserve your body so you can be a Sign for
people who come after you. Surely many people are heedless of Our Signs."
It was actually this verse that convinced French medical doctor, member of the French Society of
Egyptology and an author Maurice Bucaille (1920-1998), beyond any doubt that the Qur'an is the
Word of God and paved the way for him to embrace Islam. After conducting a series of monumental
and processing experiments on the mummified body pf Pharaoh in the late 80's, it was established
that the remains of the salt stuck in his body furnished cogent evidence that he had drowned and that
his body was retrieved from the sea swiftly after he drowned. However, the question as to how his
body — to the exclusion of other mummified bodies of other ancient Egyptians — remained that intact
although it was recovered from the sea puzzled him a great deal.
However, a member of the team he was leading whispered in his ear, saying "There is no need to
rush about this issue, since the Muslims say that this Pharaoh did drown." At first, he vehemently
