“A few stars are known”, says the unscientific scientist philosopher Sir James Jeans, “which are hardly bigger than the earth, but the majorities are so large that hundreds of thousands of earths could be packed inside each and leave room to spare: here and there we come upon against star large enough to contain millions of millions of earths. And the total number of the starts in the universes is probably something like the total number of the grains of sand on all the seashores of the world. Such is the littleness of our home in space when measured up against the total substance of our home in space when measured up against the total substance of the universe (The Mysterious Universe page 1) and the area in which life can exist too small, says Sir James Jeans’ The stars themselves are disqualified (for the existence of life) by being too hot. We may think of them as a vast collection of fires scattered throughout space, providing warmth in a climate which is at most some four degrees above absolute zero ---- about 484 degrees of frost Fahrenheit scale ---- and is even lower in vast stretches of space which lie out beyond the Milky Way. Away from the fires there is this unimaginable cold of hundreds of degrees of frost; close up to them there is a temperature of thousands of degrees, at which all solids melt, all liquids boil”. (The Mysterious Universe Page 4). Now, according to the Quran, the stars are not at all meant to be the habitations of life, they are there either to beautify the world or are signs for guiding the me in darkness on land and in the area. The earth alone is meant to be the abode of life and it’s according to the Quran well suited for this purpose and is large enough. The Quran's advice therefore against the misleading notion of the unscientific philosopher in the form of a direct rebuttal is: O my bondmen who believe: Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefore serve me only. Unto us ye will be returned. Those who believe and do good works, them verily we shall house in lofty dwellings of the garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure; how sweet the garden of the toilers, who preserve and put their trust in their Lord (Quran -56 to 59).
