If it was written by aliens with this super knowledge, why would they say everything was created in six days, when without the creation of a planet earth, and a sun for it to orbit, there would be no definition of a 'day' and even if there was, it would apply strictly to planet earth, how do they know how long it took before their chosen unit of measurement even existed, and why would they choose to use it in the first place,
[Quran 22.47] They challenge you to bring forth that torture [in Hell] and Allah will not break His promise; a day of your Lord [Paradise/Hell promise] is like a thousand years of what you count.
[Quran 50.38] We [Allah] created the heavens and the Earth and all what's between them in six days, and We were not touched by fatigue.
[Quran 41.9] Say: "Is it that you deny Him [Allah] who created the Earth in two days? And you claim others to be equal to Him? He is the Lord of (all) the Worlds."
In God's Throne time, Earth is 2 days old while the Heavens and Earth and everything in between are 6 days old. This makes the age of Earth to be one third the age of the universe (2/6 = 1/3). Similarly in Earth time, the age of Earth is 4.5672 billion years while the age of the universe is 13.7 billion years; this is also one third (4.5672 bln/13.7 bln = 1/3). So it is the same ratio in Earth time or in God's Throne time. The theory of general relativity explains why time at God's Throne passes slower than on Earth. General relativity explains why 6 days passed at God's Throne but we measured it as 13.7 billion years (that is each day at God's Throne measures around 2.28 billion years on Earth). So according to the Quran:
God's Throne > Paradise/Hell > Earth

Great post, I am a firm believer that the history of the universe and human life is all being told from different perspectives. Each religion has it's own take on what happened but they are all very similar. The Ancient Astronaut Theory helps to bind these religions together into a singularity of discernable truth. All you have to do is look beyond the veil and glance at the secrets God is telling you. But again, fantastic post!

Do you actually read any of this or just reply out of your a**?
So, the isotopes of iron and the atomic number etc. were known in older cultures? ...

One of the least evidence filled false-proofs I've seen on ATS.
That's not proof.
If that's the kind of proof you require you're prolly not actually an atheist.
The atheists I know have much higher standards. Fact.

Kind of funny that you didn't even have time to read the post before you post your definitive opinion.
Care to explain the mathematical miracles? Care to explain how Muhammad knew about the Big Bang? Or how he knew about the universe constantly expanding? Or the development process of humans? Or that all life came from water? Or that the earth was rotating?
And since when did Muhammad live in Egypt?

Furthermore there are some things you didn't mention, this book has some pretty out of date ideas such as the flatness of the earth (like Christopher Columbus).
The Koran says that the earth is flat and its mountains are like poles which create a balance so that the Earth does not tilt.

The Koran says that moon was cut in half by Muhammad (54:1). Was he referring to a "half moon" How Muhammad actually did this, we are not told. Why no one else in the world saw it we are not told. How he managed to cut through hundreds of miles of solid rock
we are not told. How he put it together again, we are not told.

The Koran teaches a reverse theory of Evolution, it says men were turned into apes because they broke the Sabbath. (Suras 2:65; 7:163-166). WRONG!

The Koran says at night the sun sets in a well of water and mud here on earth. When it was completely covered by the water, darkness falls upon the earth.

"Furthermore, no clerical hierarchy is specified in Islam because nobody except God has power. No Imam has a closer connection to God than you. No intercessor is required."
Umm after being in and out of Middle Eastern countires for a number of years ..this maybe what is written ,,but it isnt how its practiced...amazingly akin to christianity!

The most unique, and perhaps most remarkable feature discovered on Iapetus in Cassini images is a topographic ridge that coincides almost exactly with the geographic equator. The ridge is conspicuous in the picture as an approximately 20-kilometer wide (12 miles) band that extends from the western (left) side of the disc almost to the day/night boundary on the right. On the left horizon, the peak of the ridge reaches at least 13 kilometers (8 miles) above the surrounding terrain. Along the roughly 1,300 kilometer (800 mile) length over which it can be traced in this picture, it remains almost exactly parallel to the equator within a couple of degrees. The physical origin of the ridge has yet to be explained. It is not yet clear whether the ridge is a mountain belt that has folded upward, or an extensional crack in the surface through which material from inside Iapetus erupted onto the surface and accumulated locally, forming the ridge.
