SyeTen's video: Muslim Mastermind with Neil deGrasse Tyson

Guess what? I made a shit-ton of mistakes in this video as usual. Question 1: The moon varies from about 230,000 to 250,000 miles from Earth. And the nearest star is about 93 million miles away. I suppose. If you want to be picky about it. Jesus. Question 2: Neil's answer should be "oblate spheroid" and (78:7-6) appears on screen because I'd originally written a shit question about mountains and I'm an incompetent prick. It should say only (20:53) A couple of people have assured me that the Qur'an does not state the Earth is "shaped" like a carpet, but merely that it is "spread out" like a carpet. Thanks. That's really helpful. What's the shape of something that's spread out like a carpet? Last time I checked, it was fucking carpet-shaped. "[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants." (20:53) Some translations use the word "carpet". Yes, I realize there are a few Muslim apologetics who claim the word دَحَىٰهَآ (in 79:30) comes from a root word meaning "egg-shaped" or "like an ostrich egg", but I can't find one single official translation that makes any reference to "eggs". You may as well say the word "pencil" means "bird-shaped" because the root word "penna" is Latin for feather. But you probably already knew that, you sexy bastards.
