This passage implies the Sun is the same size as we see it and that it actually sets down in water. Muslims will refute this by saying that the passage means that Dhul Qarnain reached an ocean were he saw the sun set. But why would he say this specifically at this point? Why would he "go to a place" where the sun sets? In that case isn't that EVERYWHERE that there's water? No, reading it simply shows that the Quran means that the sun actually sets at a specific point on earth. |
Like I said, refuted here:

Don't be shy, I challenge you to refute my arguments. Show me the flaw in my reasoning.
After all the allegations I've seen from non-muslims, I must say that the Dhul-Qarnayn=Alexander the Great has got to be one of the most pathetic. Most intellectuals are able to realize the serious flaw in this argument after realizing that the Qur'an nowhere draws the comparison.
