No. It's not global warming that does that, it's fracking. Fracking has been linked to some recent earthquakes, so obviously giving mother earth an, uh... so obviously fracking is the cause.
Science needs to write a Bible.

Matters that have been "settled" and need no further review need to be written in the said Bible so that those who oppose them can be tarred and feathered appropriately.

I have no idea how many Muslims think that earthquakes are caused by women wearing dresses.

I'm not even sure what it matters. Some apparently do think that.

So with what justification are you suggesting that the nonsense blurted out by some man called Maulana Fazlur Rehman can be characterized as the "Islam" in the "Islam vs. Science" dichotomy you mention in your OP?

Did I say everyone in Islam agrees with him? No, I merely stated he was a Muslim and made this accusation.

So is he right or wrong?

You cited the personal opinion of Muslim Maulana Fazlur Rehman for the "Islam vs. Science" dichotomy you put in your OP. On what basis do you cite him for this dichotomy?

I think we should just go ahead and tar and feather you anyway even without a science Bible.

Does such a dichotomy mean that all Muslims think the same way?

No.

Why did you quote Maulana Fazlur Rehman in your OP then?

Why wasn't your dichotomy "Maulana Fazlur Rehman v Science"?

Who said that all scientists believe that global warming is causing earthquakes?

The fact is that there are those in Islam and in science that believe this stuff. Why not discuss it rather than just be the contentious troll we have all come to know and love? 😵

So what is your reference to "Islam v Science" in your OP supposed to mean if even you yourself can't explain it or justify it?

If you want a serious answer, it seems smaller earthquakes in the US are caused by fracking. They send a gooey muck fluid down a mile or more deep at about 10,000 PSI and that busts the rocks releasing methane which is theoretically collected at the well head. But it loosens the rocks which can now slide over one another causing earthquakes, but not the 8.0 monsters, just little 3's and 4's.

That's a better theory than the naked tourists. However, the fracking is a long way from Hawall. 😏
