Qur'an on Meteorology
Meteorologists will tell you that rain clouds form in the following manner:
1) The wind pushes the clouds so that they can begin to converge.
2) The clouds then join and form larger clouds.
3) Updrafts cause these larger clouds to grow vertically, such that they appear stacked up.
4) Drops of water start to accumulate in the newly formed upper parts of the clouds, and when they get heavy enough they fall to the earth as rain.
The Qur'an already summarized this process more than 14 centuries ago, with stunning accuracy, and that too in an age of scientific ignorance:
Do you not realize that God drives the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them?
[Al-Qur'an, 24:43]
