End Times in Islamic Eschatology states?

that the End Times will be upon us when, "the Sun will rise from the West instead of the East".

There are 2 ways of this happening. The first being, geomagnetic reversal (if the magnetic poles switched places). The other is if the earth stopped spinning and began spinning in the opposite direction.

The 1st way (G.R.) Through analysis of palaeomagnetic data, it is now known that the field has reversed its orientation tens of thousands of times since its formation very early on in earth history, with the last reversal was the Brunhes–Matuyama reversal approximately 780,000 years ago.

Investigating reversing the earths spin rotation could happen only if the Earth's axis points switched places by spinning 180 degrees, or the earth somehow stops its rotation and begins spinning the other direction. The chances of the latter being impossible without an external force big enough to induce the halting and re spinning of the earth.

Since geomagnetic reversal has happened before, doesn't that negate the Islamic End Time prediction.

    Haha. Nice try.

    It depends on who you're asking. As a muslim, I do believe something bizarre is bound to happen. Because as you already (most likely) know; this is a sign of the last day. After the sun rises from the west, no more prayers will be accepted. People will be drowning in their sweat. Bloodshed. Mothers will leave their children. Everything will be chaotic. The Smoke. Loads of other signs, but if you want, email me and I'll send them to you.

    Also, I'm really glad you're not using profane language, or making any judgemental comments about Islam. I do not believe that was a valid rebut though, sorry. I do appreciate the effort you put into it though. Like, your refute.
