Can someone here pls help me refute the claims made by this video https://youtu.be/8yMD99gyr14 most of his claims to me are like he is forcing his own meaning into verses but anyway this seem like the compilation  almost all the supposed scientific error in the Quran that the nonbelievers could come with, if we can refute this one then we would know for sure that the Quran has no scientific errors peace

Not all of then have been given satisfactory answers, some have been discussed years ago and with new scientific advancement now we can better understand and answer it, like the one talking about mountains stabilizing the earth, and some have not been discussed here at all, that is why I made this post so that they can be addressed in the same place once and for all

i think (55 seven earths) topic is hardly discussed in recent past..

planets or the layers inside the earth ? or  CONTINENTS ..

Perhaps you can help us out and highlight the ones that have not been covered before.

peace someone12, all,

From my experience the people who claim various errors in Quran are usually poorly informed (e.g. inaccurate translation and/or Hadith-based translation) or biased (e.g. cherry-pick to present a certain slant to make it look like there is a problem). I had a debate one time with ex-Muslims about this, I'll see if I can find it later.

No.60 to 57 for starters

60) his argument is Quran does not go into the detail or accuracy he would like. He points out no error/contradiction whatsoever.

59) quote from Asad's translation of 67:5: "As regards the term rajm (pl. rujum), which literally denotes the "throwing [of something] like a stone" - i.e., at random - it is often used metaphorically in the sense of "speaking conjecturally" or "making [something] the object of guesswork" (Jawhari, Raghib - the latter connecting this metaphor explicitly with the above verse -, Lisan al-'Arab, Qamus, Taj al-'Arus, etc.). Cf. also 37:6."
Having said that, the other cited verses can have wide interpretation. I haven't looked into it personally, but Asad's interpretation seems a possibility.

58) goes by Hadith-based interpretation and cites no explicit Quran error/contradiction

57) again, goes by Hadith-based interpretation and/or Traditional tafsirs/explanations by choosing the meaning of "fall" when the root can mean otherwise:
From project root list:
Kaf-Dal-Ra = To be muddy, be obscure, lose light, fall.

inkadara vb. (7) perf. act. 81:2

LL, V7, p: 124, 125  ##  http://ejtaal.net/aa/#q=kdr

Remember, this guy claims to have only selected the strong/clear examples. No diligent student of Quran could ever consider the above examples as strong/clear. Sure for Traditional Muslims it may be a problem, but not Quran based muslims.

A its not proveable one have to dig a hole till the end. although only 3 (crust, mantle and core) are well-known as yet.
B there are billions of planets in billions of galaxies in heavens
C continets desinged by people .. and also how to design the continents ?

Asia,Africa and Europe shared one big  land mass...
South and North America also shared one big land mass..
Australia , Greenland, Antartica shared the land on their own..

moreover new possible continent  Zealandia currently New zealand got lot of its land underwater what make geologists think its another continent.

where and how do we adjust 7 ? at its accurate.
