The Quran on Seas and Rivers

 The verse informs us that the seas do not mingle with one another despite
all large waves, strong currents, and tides
 Where two different seas meet, there is a barrier between them.  This
barrier divides the two seas so that each sea has its own temperature,
salinity, and density. 
 Even at places where the two seas were closest to each other, each mass of
water preserved its properties.
For example, Mediterranean sea water is warm, saline, and less dense,
compared to Atlantic ocean water. 
 This information has been discovered only recently, using advanced
equipment to measure temperature, salinity, density, oxygen dissolubility,
etc. 

Marine scientists views about mixing of seas

Dr. William W. Hay is a well-known marine scientist. He is Professor of Geological
Sciences at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA. When he was
asked question regarding this verse he said:

"I find it very interesting that this sort of information is in the ancient scriptures of
the Holy Quran, and I have no way of knowing where they would come from, but I
think it is extremely interesting that they are there and that this work is going on
to discover it, the meaning of some of the passages." And when he was asked
about the source of the Quran, he replied: "Well, I would think it must be the
divine being."

The French marine scientist Captain Jacques Cousteau, who is famous for
underwater research, explains the results of his investigations about water
barriers as follows:
  “We were investigating of some researcher’s judgments that put forth that
there were some barriers that separated different masses of the seas from
each other. As a result of various studies, we saw that the Mediterranean
Sea has a peculiar natural level of salinity and density. At the same time, it
has specific life forms.
 Then, we analyzed the mass of water in the Atlantic Ocean and saw that it
was completely different than the Mediterranean Sea.

However, these two seas have different structures even in places where they
converge closely. Upon our investigations, we came across with an event that
amazed us. or, there was a great water curtain at the merging point that did not
allow these two seas to mix up.

 The same kind water barrier was founded by German scientists at Bab al-
Mandab, where waters of Gulf of Aden and Red sea converge in 1962.

Rationale behind not mixing of seas;

If Allah did not put the law of not mixing up between these two waters, the fresh
water rivers on earth would mix up with the salty sea water and the living
creatures in them and in their environments would be annihilated all together.

Quran … word of Allah;

The fact that the seas do not mix up with each other and the fresh water rivers do
not mix up with salty waters shows the infinite power of Allah; its being expressed
1400 years ago in the Quran proves that the Quran is the word of Allah.

Therefore, the Quran cannot be the word of man. It is the pre-eternal word of
Allah, who is the creator of lands and skies.
