[QUOTE="elwill, post: 44193105, member: 214387"] God has said in the Quran: [SIZE=3][B][IMG]http://www.islam-guide.com/aqwas-ys.jpg[/IMG] Or (the unbelievers state) is like the darkness in a deep sea. It is covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds. Darknesses, one above another. If a man stretches out his hand, he cannot see it....

The darkness in deep seas and oceans is found around a depth of 200 meters and below. At this depth, there is almost no light (see figure 15). Below a depth of 1000 meters there is no light at all.[URL="http://www.islam-guide.com/ch1-1-f.htm#footnote1"][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/URL] Human beings are not able to dive more than forty meters without the aid of submarines or special equipment.
