The Moon Miracle of Islam: DEBUNKED in 3 Minutes

Jesus might have walked on water, but Muhammad split the Moon in half!!!

...At least, that's what he apparently did as reported in the Qur'an. Not only is this one of the most unscientific claims from the book, but it is absolutely absurd you would think that walking on water would be just a breeze. For a supposed miracle, this must have been a daunting task.

Of course, one needs to be skeptical of all claims made in holy text. Skepticism is crucial because it allows you to question what is absurd and find out more about how the universe, particularly the Moon, work and came to be. To those who believe that this miracle happened: Why not question what you believe?
