Richard Dawkins 'Did Muhammad Split the Moon in Two?'

Islam claims that Muhammad split the moon in two, this video should help refute such unscientific claims that many muslims today still assert are a miracle of their prophet,many muslims even point to natural geological cracks on the moon, called Lobate scarps as evidence that the moon was once split apart by their buraq flying messenger

if the moon was truly split in two, why is there no other record of it being seen anywhere else in the world? Egypt, Greece, Italy all under the Byzantine's and the Sasanian Empire of Persia were all great centers of learning in the 7th Century and all share roughly the same time zone as the Arabian peninsula. There is no record of anyone having seen the moon split in two from any of them. It's explained quite clearly by this solar eclipse

The moon split event occured at night and solar eclipses doesn't occur at night.

According to me ... I am from south indian coast state kerala. In prophet's time the king in kerala witnessed for splitting of moon from kerala. And he made an investigation at that time and heard about prophet muhammed's (s) miracle from a arab sailor . And he inspired and went to arabia with some native people .After he met prophet muhammed (pbuh) in arabia, he become muslim and he gave land to make a mosque in kodungallur, kerala, india .And prophet(pbuh) send a scholar named malik dinar (a) to our kerala. Now I am proud of my ancestors who became muslims at the time of prophet(pbuh) by the moon splitting miracle... Masha allah... Now we have more than 10 million muslims in kerala state, india....

Why did not the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, Mayans etc ( all great astronomers ) not see or record the splitting of the moon as with other great sightings . Logically speaking, would it not effect the tides, seasons weather ? Was there a catastrophic event in 1400 that was recorded in history .

Asalamu alaikum, , for my Muslim brothers and sisters, who tried and conveyed their message... please remember..Summun, bukmun, aumyun fahum layarjioon....

I bare witness that there's no God but Allah n I bare witness that Mohammed peace be upon him is his Prophet

Richard Dawkins is in the title, why is there almost none of him actually making his case? Clickbait

[saboor]

From this comnt section i am sure about one thing that is
In this world there are only two types of people
Who believe and who do not believe

[alwisyahidwahyudin]

0:24 I really love how he act on his faith, yet still objective for the science purpose. There are a lot of conservative people that actually ignore how knowlodges grow and things change. Islam teach us to learn until death. Not to be ignorant people.

Not an eclipse, the moon was actually split

[Nazeko_chankamado]

Moses split the sea and in the science its unbelievable and Abraham entered the fire .. all of that is miracle and miracle it’s unbelievable in science

Brothers, I'd just like to remind you that, in the effort to enlight those who don't understand, your language shows your values and credibility more than the facts/arguments that you given. Manners is the fruit of the knowledge.

[azmantv]

astafirullah, muslim know between eclipse and splitting moon, that Prophet Muhammad miracle.. my Allah bless you all..

[mysteryworld]

You are talking about moon eclipses and showing videos of solar eclipse.

[ganeshjain]

If Allah split the moon 🌒, then how come no other people living nearby Arabia have noted down this miraculous rare occurrence? Why didn't the Jews, the Christians, Byzantine or Persians or Hindus in India see this or record this anywhere? All these countries have only 1-2 hours time difference with Saudi Arabia, so they too should have witnessed this and noted down this occurrence

[ahmadselim]

Because a man 1400 years ago would be able to tell that it was going to happen before it happens

[freezaibnfrostalkatalibnui]

So the Greek who are known to watch the night sky fell asleep on that specific night

[OpheliaImmortal]

This went from interesting to watch to insanely juxtaposed by some sort of weird moon logic

[BigWordHole]

Best joke the comedian Muhammad ever told his fans

[vervoid]

A solar eclipse and splitting the moon in half are two totally different things incase you did not realise! Stop clutching at straws islam and reform and move into 2019. It would be much appreciated.
