I tried to give you a way out of the trap you were in by suggesting that the Miraj was a dream. You have refused to take the offer. Now you are in trouble.
Scientifically, nothing you have said makes sense. Lets say that Mohammad traveled at almost the speed of light for 12 hours. He would have had to travel one direction for 6 hours and then would have taken 6 hours to return. This would have given him 21,600 seconds to travel each way if he didn't stop to talk to anyone on the way. Since light travels at 186,000 miles per second, the maximum distance he could have traveled would have been about 4.0 billion miles. That would only get him to Pluto which is 3.6 billion miles from the sun. Any discussion about other galaxies is out of the question. http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/pluto_worldbook.html
If you try to explain the Miraj as a miracle of Allah, then you have forfeited any possible claim that the Mohammad is scientifically accurate. There is nothing wrong with using magic in your thinking, as long as you recognize what you are doing, but it is illogical to then turn around and claim that your holy book is scientifically accurate. Once you have to resort to magic to defend your holy books, you have lost the debate. Would you like to reconsider the possibility that the Miraj never happened, but that it was a dream?
