1) Show me the place in the Quran that says that the earth is fixed
2) Provide me with a single source that says ants cannot speak

I anticipate that such antiquated anti-intellectual thoughts will find their antidote in the antonyms of such idiocy: namely, the anterior and antecedents of rational thought.
"And we set mountains on the earth lest it should move with them, and we made on it broad passages between them as routes for their guidance..." (Sura 21:32).
ssdexecutor,
THE KORAN Chapter, 'The Ant' 27:61
The 21th sura(I knew it through Al-Jazeera and all the mad clerics who preach there)and my experience. Do you speak with ants?, I would like to have a conversation with some who are invading my kitchen.
2) We had so many ants in our countryhouse they had built a whole ant-hill over winter. There must have been thousands of them, but scream as I might, they totally ignored me.
Provide me with a single source that says snakes, donkeys, burning bushes, pecan pies, blue paint and/or my cup of coffee cannot speak.
(1) "Have you not regarded how God created seven heavens one upon another, and set the moon therein for a light and the sun for a lamp?" - While the Quran may not use the word "fixed", it's clear from the passage that the Quran accepted Aristotle's "crystalline spheres" theory, which postulated seven concentric spheres surrounding a fixed earth. The seven spheres held the seven known planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn).
