This to me is a fantastic finding because it is a clear challenge against the science of today which according to all the great minds of the past few centuries and all the technological advancement mankind has achieved cleary teaches that the Earth spins.
I'm quite used to people saying that if it says something in the bible it must be true but I've never come across an instance where if it doesn't say it in the bible it can't be true.
My point was that something as important and clear as the Earth orbiting Sun should have been in the Quran or Bible. It would have been clear evidence for the believers that the Quran and Bible have something in them which couldn't be verified by the ancients but could be verified by modern mankind later on. So if this "fact" isn't in the Quran or Bible then as a believer I think you should question why it isn't and verify the "fact".
