Here’s a little Muslim science for you. Oh sure, you’ll find some Christian “scientists” who claim all sorts of things that have no scientific basis in fact, but some of this guy’s theories are really out there.

Hmm, actually, Mecca sits several thousand miles north of the Equator - at least according to the globe in my office. Even my four-year-old could tell me Saudi Arabia wasn’t on the same line as the equator (OK, I did coach him a little). And aren’t the Northern Lights caused by the confluence of solar radiation at the magnetic poles of the Earth? If Mecca was the true magnetic pole, wouldn’t they be called the “Mecca Lights”?

Also, I did a pretty thorough search of the internet, and I had a hard time finding anything anywhere that proved that Neil Armstrong claimed that Mecca was the center of the world. In fact, the only references I could find were from that pseudo-scientist in the video and another Muslim “scientist”.

And what’s with this short-wave radiation that shoots out into space, traveling infinitely outward? Again, lots of web searching found nothing to support that claim. In fact, all I found were references back to that same interview.
