now you know more don't you? quran says nothing about relativity,
only some laymen trying to forcefully connect dots which don't exist.
if the theory changes tomorrow that these laymen would also try to
connect quran with science.

and to be honest, if it was talking about relativity, why doesn't it
just say directly that objects travelling at high speeds will
experience shorter times. in your posting, nothing is said about angels
travelling at high speed or anything remotely connected to relativity.
only some guy decided to say 'the angels can travel up to the speed of
light'.

you were preaching, not merely asking for people's opinion. let's see
what you wrote:

"Theory of relativity both SR and GR can be found in Quaran
http://islam.speed-light.info/relativity_quran.htm
The theory of everything is also in there.
Find out more.
Read Quaran."

if you indeed only wanted to ask an opinion you would have asked "i
found this information on the web, what are your opinions of it? is
there anything substantial to it" ... and when your cornered you
pretend to play innocent. you are a disingenuous person Alphonse.

okay then go ahead and follow your idol harun yahya, who doesn't
know anything about the sciences. how can he? he was only educated as a
philosopher (and not very good at that), yet claims to know more
biology and physics than people who actually study and do research on
these subjects...
