Miracle of Iron in the Qur\'an: EXPLAINED torrent

Miracle of Iron in the Qur'an: EXPLAINED.

A few links to purely educational sites (nothing "anti-Islamic") concerned with the history of meteorites, metallurgy and minerolgy and the use of weapons made from meteoric iron by ancient civilisations.

Or maybe it's ALL a conspiracy.

Interesting link I found along the way (particularly towards the bottom of the page under "Meteor Cult Classics":

AND...if you're gonna tell me Allah was talking about the iron in the Earth's core, you must ALSO tell me how the HELL you were supposed to use the core of the planet in "mighty war".

Also, another miracle often missed; COWS ARE FROM SPACE!

Surah 39:6: "He created you from one person, then created from him his mate. He SENT DOWN to you eight kinds of livestock."

Who would have guessed?

Any Muslims want to back me up on the absurdity of calling Surah 57:25 a "miracle"? No? Not one? Thought not.
