The word actually used in the quranic verse is "sky سماء" , and the word at the end of the verse موسعون tramslated into "expanders" could also mean "broadeners" or simply "Rich and capable". The last is the one chosen by most Muslim interpreter, having nothing to do with expanding the heaven. Still, even if it wasnt, it would only mean that god made the sky breod, simply! this understanding makes much more sence when u read the verse in Arabic. Now, the next verse talks about the earth being "spread out", which is basically about the being flat. Oh yeah I know u would insists that its not about the earth being literally flatened (though this is what the word in usage ماهدون basically means) but that its looks like that from the prospective of human eye, fine, but the same way u have no right to insist that the previous passage means anything more than the sky being broad to the human eye. Dont just selectively change prospective in the next verse!

No, it doesn't mean "rich and capable". The word literally mean "expander" or also "widener".
Please refer to the rich discussion I had with the member "Grandizer" on page 13 of this topic:

https://atheistforums.org/thread-61164-p...pid1986736

Also, ماهدون doesn't mean -even closely- that the earth is flattened; it means -literally- that the earth was made suitable for roads to exist.

what is it exactly and precisely 
to talk science u should give us an accurent physical meaning associated to the word heaven in coran
is it the whole universe?
is it the atmophere of the earth ?
if u're gonna say it's the universe trying to adapting it with the cosmological concepts u'll get in many other problems with it bcz quran say that the earth was created before the heavens 
the heavens was elevated from the earth 
and that's not the cosmos at all

Please use full words in order to understand you.
But I demand you to bring the verse that says the heaven elevated from the earth.
Hi Bro عليك سلام النور وما من نور إلا نور العقل فإحتكم له فهو أشد مثقالا
i'm not good in english 
I'm an arab i'm good in arabic both thinking and understanding
the word heaven in quran is very disturbed in it's physical meaning and it's impossible to fix it with scientific concept as we undestood science 
to prove my claims
i'll give uthe  evidences in arabic 


"But I demand you to bring the verse that says the heaven elevated from the earth"
اللَّهُ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا ۖ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ الشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ ۖ كُلٌّ يَجْرِي لِأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ يُدَبِّرُ الْأَمْرَ يُفَصِّلُ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّكُم بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّكُمْ تُوقِنُونَ 

الرعد 22


و السماء رفعها و وضع الميزان

رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ___رفعت مقابل ماذا؟؟ أليست الأرض الموجودة  نعم الموجودة قبلها

خلق الأرض قبل السماء

فَقَضَاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَأَوْحَىٰ فِي كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ أَمْرَهَا ۚ وَزَيَّنَّا السَّمَاءَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَصَابِيحَ وَحِفْظًا ۚ ذَٰلِكَ تَقْدِيرُ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ 
فصلت(12) 
تفسير القرطبي
وظاهر هذه الآية يدل على أن الأرض خلقت قبل السماء . وقال في آية أخرى : أم السماء بناها ثم قال : والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها وهذا يدل على خلق السماء أولا . وقال قوم : خلقت الأرض قبل السماء ، فأما قوله : والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها فالدحو غير الخلق ، فالله خلق الأرض ثم خلق السموات ، ثم دحا الأرض أي : مدها وبسطها ، قاله ابن عباس . وقد مضى هذا المعنى مجودا في " البقرة 
هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ لَكُم مَّا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَسَوَّاهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ ۚ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ   
البقرة 29
تفسير إبن كثير
هذه وهذه دالتان على أن الأرض خلقت قبل السماء ، وهذا ما لا أعلم فيه نزاعا بين العلماء إلا ما نقله ابن جرير عن قتادة : أنه زعم أن السماء خلقت قبل الأرض ، وقد توقف في ذلك القرطبي في تفسيره لقوله تعالى : ( أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء بناها رفع سمكها فسواها وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها ) [ النازعات : 27 - 31 ] قالوا : فذكر خلق السماء قبل الأرض . وفي صحيح البخاري : أن ابن عباس سئل عن هذا بعينه ، فأجاب بأن الأرض خلقت قبل السماء وأن الأرض إنما دحيت بعد خلق السماء ، وكذلك أجاب غير واحد من علماء التفسير قديما وحديثا ، وقد قررنا ذلك في تفسير سورة النازعات ، وحاصل ذلك أن الدحي مفسر بقوله : ( والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها والجبال أرساها ) [ النازعات : 30 - 32 ] ففسر الدحي بإخراج ما كان مودعا فيها بالقوة إلى الفعل لما اكتملت صورة المخلوقات الأرضية ثم السماوية دحى بعد ذلك الأرض ، فأخرجت ما كان مودعا فيها من المياه ، فنبتت النباتات على اختلاف أصنافها وصفاتها وألوانها وأشكالها ، وكذلك جرت هذه الأفلاك فدارت بما فيها من الكواكب الثوابت والسيارة ، والله سبحانه وتعالى أعلم

Somebody should have told the romans that the earth had been made suitable for roads, would've saved them alot of time and effort.

Ok, I will.

If the Universe is expanding, AND if the Quran correctly predicted this, isn’t there room in the Universe for that apology you owe me (sorry, I don’t know the Arabic word for ‘apology’).

Wrong. I did not copypasta a wall of text, I quoted the relevant lines of you signing off as "MK" and wondered why that might be. Getting your internet personas confused perhaps? Because you could have explained it, whatever it is, but you instead chose to accuse ME of quoting walls of text when anyone reading can see that I did no such thing.

So why was that false accusation your goto? Why did you not explain why you signed off as "MK"?

اسف ؟ اعتذار ؟
But the context of the apology is what matters; in other words: why should I give it?
And reply in that thread to keep topics organized.

You should apologize because you wrongfully accused me of being a liar. Have you no conscience? Have you no decency? Do you not have the ability to admit your mistakes?

I apologized to you for having made a false accusation in the Shoutbox. Don’t you feel I deserve similar consideration?

Edit: Oh, sorry. Universe, expansion, Quran, blah blah blah. There - still on topic.
