What do you mean why do I think that?
Are you completely reliant on your science books that you've lost all of your logic and reasoning?

When water evaporates it is gone forever, lost, doesn't come back to earth magically.

Water level of the earth has to be constantly replenished. Never mind millions of years but let's look at the last fifty years and how much water has been lost. It must be a huge amount.

Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala replenishes this lost water to keep the equilibrium. He calls it 'the balance'.

I understand and acknowledge your answer. However the vapor and the steam produced are sometimes lost meaning that it is not returned to the atmosphere and then come back down to earth as rain. It is gone. Lost.

Therefore, to equate the balance Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala sends down 'new fresh' water in the form of rain.

Put the thread over a hook or something such that it will hang the weight vertically down. The higher the space the better. You will want to do it in doors because you don't want the wind blowing it about.The position on the floor that the weight settles at is directly below the position of the thread over the hook or other support. A plumb-line.Pull the weight up to the top of the space so it is near the hook and away from the ground, allow to settle. Take a candle or cigarette lighter and burn through the thread. This will cut the thread whilst not giving it any side ways motion. The weight will drop. It will not land exactly on the spot that was directly below the heigh point. It will land east of that position. This is because the heigh point is moving eastwards faster than the floor. If you can explain why this happens in some other way than the Earth rotating please tell us. The weight can fall left, right, centre, east, west, north or south. No big deal.

It will always fall to the East.

It will always do this due to the fact that it is traveling around the Earth faster at a heigher level.

I have seen your new drivel about water and evaporation. You are just trolling now.

Abu Loren wrote: When water evaporates it is gone forever and does not linger in the atmosphere for it to rise and become clouds and then fall again as rain. That is ludicrous. The water simply disappears, gone forever.

Greetings Abu Loren,

Where do you think clouds come from then?  How do you think they are formed?
I mean, I can actually watch the clouds form, appear, and disappear again, since I live near the ocean. 
Where do you think humidity comes from?  It is the water in the air... the water that eventually forms into clouds as the sun lifts it upwards and it joins with other water molecules and appears as clouds.
Thin wispy clouds will often disappear from the sky even as I watch, as the heat of the sun in summer evaporates the water.
Other times clouds continue to grow and form into rain clouds, as water off the ocean is picked up on winds coming inward onto the land.
It's all really quite elementary and easy to observe.

What is your explanation for where clouds come from?  and why do they dissipate?
I am interested.  I find this discussion quite interesting.

asalaam and blessings,
