thank you for the response... no worries... i'm sure that thipps is busy like we all are
whilst i appreciate the response, it does not adequately address my query of asking for a scientifically peer reviewed source for the claim that iron is not a naturally occuring element that is found natively on earth and could only come from an extra-terrestial source.
of course, iron is found in places other than earth as well.. as the comets, meteors and other falling objects have demonstrated.
assuming, for the sake of argument that what you report is correct, how do you reconcile the liquid iron center of the earth with the fact that iron isn't naturally occuring here?
I know that the earth core have a liquid Iron and actually it’s the most abundant element in the total composition of the Earth (35% of its total mass) and the fourth abundant element in its crust (5.6%).but I should explain that we talk about the early period of the earth formation …before most of Iron element quantities melt and go down to the core of the earth ….we talk about result of chemical and physical calculations about the compositions of the earth elements and it’s materials origins and formation .
Professor Armstrong works at NASA, otherwise known as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where he is a well-known scientist there. We met with him and asked a number of questions about Qur’aanic verses dealing with the expertise in Astronomy. We asked him about Iron and how it was formed. He explained how all the elements in the earth were formed. He stated that the scientists have come only recently to discover the relevant facts about that formation process. He said that the energy of the early solar system was not sufficient to produce elemental Iron.
In calculating the energy required to form one atom of iron, it was found to be about four times as much as the energy of the entire solar system. In other words, the entire energy of the earth or the moon or the planet Mars or any other planet is not sufficient to form one new atom of iron, even the energy of the entire solar system is not sufficient for that. That is why Professor Armstrong said that the scientists believe that iron is an extraterrestrial that was sent to earth and not formed therein.
