The reason I don't buy into this "scientific stuff" is that for every known scientific revelation discovered by science, Islam will scour through it's hadiths looking for any association. I think hadiths number in thier thousands, so it's not a miracle that every now and then you obtain a nearish match (with a little spin).
The earth was smashed into by the "mother of all" comet/meteorite that weighed giga-tonnes, the noise of the impact thundering around the planet probably deathened every animal that was not instantly burned to smitherines by the impact, the sea boiled and a 150 metre Tsunami raged. If that was not devastating enough the global forest fires smoke and dust blottet out the sun followed by two year nuclear winter. 95% of all life was destroyed, yet the best you can do is some local flood and a guy called Noah wwith some roughly correct scientific facts. As for the cataclysmic event I just described, where is it recorded in the thousands of hadiths and the quran?
