Alternative: you will never fabricate the earth
Research rendering: you will never pierce the earth
The earth already supplies the physical object opposed to the walker's arrogant force; the construction tests penetration, not bringing an earth proposition into existence.
fabricated

فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا
Alternative: after they boarded the ship, he fabricated it; did you fabricate it to drown its people?
Research rendering: after they boarded the ship, he breached it; did you breach it to drown its people?
The ship exists before the event and remains the patient whose damage could drown occupants; fabrication contradicts the boarding sequence and physical consequence.
