Pluto loses status as a planet

About 2,500 scientists meeting in Prague have adopted historic new guidelines that see the small, distant world demoted to a secondary category.

Another reminder to those who think science is ablsolute. How many times do we hear "it is a scientific fact!". This also serves as good guidance to some of the Muslim scientist types who would have been trying everything to prove nine planets from the Islamic sacred sources.

This was exactly my point, now they are not satisfied:

A fierce backlash has begun against the decision by astronomers to strip Pluto of its status as a planet.

Subhanallah! Before the change and after, it does not make a different to the Islamic religious text, look at this!

Qur'an 12:3 - "We narrate unto thee (Muhammad) the best of narratives in that We have inspired in thee this Qur'an, though aforetime thou wast of the heedless."
Qur'an 12:4 - "When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me."

Firstly not that there is no mention of the EARTH. Therefore, it must have been one of those eleven planets, and not just a random 11 planets!

Secondly let us count up the number of planets in out solar system: 1 Mercury, 2 Venus, 3 Earth, 4 Mars, 5 Jupiter, 6 Saturn, 7 Uranus, 8 Neptune. That's 8. (Before the change of Pluto's status it was 9.)

So where are the missing three?

Let's take into account the dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres and Eris.
That makes 11!!

This is clear evidence to me that Allah knows the future, He did not say "9 planets bowed down to Yusuf" because He almighty knew that in the future there would be a dispute over this 1 planet, so Allah decided to include the dwarf planets!!


Lol, I just saw this group the other day on a website, called "When I was your age, Pluto was still a planet...!".
