( 3 ) Thus has He revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and to those before you - Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
( 4 ) To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and He is the Most High, the Most Great.
( 5 ) The heavens almost break from above them, and the angels exalt [Allah] with praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on earth. Unquestionably, it is Allah who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
( 6 ) And those who take as allies other than Him - Allah is [yet] Guardian over them; and you, [O Muhammad], are not over them a manager.
Things "break" when they are "expanded"?
How did Mohammed know that heaven was expanding?
If we assumed ignorance and lying of the author of the Quran; why would they refer explicitly to such a fact?
Even a nomad Muslim in the desert 1400 years ago, would know that the skies (universe) is expanding. Not just that; actually saying otherwise defies the verse above.
The universe is expanding, by the direct statement of verse 47 of Sura 51 in the Quran, and the implicit referring by verse 5 of Sura 42
Long before Hubble's discovery. 1400 years approximately.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubble%27s_law
Quote:Hubble's law is considered the first observational basis for the expansion of the universe
The verse in Arabic:
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
How long have you been on this website?
You should know better.
Islam isn't the only religion that has apologists whom try to square science with their holy writings.
GOOGLE THE FOLLOWING..
"Christian science"
THEN
"Jewish Science"
THEN
"Buddhist science"
THEN
"Hindu science"
EVERY RELIGION pulls this crap. When the club member cant simply plug their club, they either try to debunk science, then when they cant do that, they try to retrofit modern science to ambiguous words in old mythology.
It does not work for ANY religion, because scientific method is RELIGION NEUTRAL and is a tool. It is not there to prop up any religion.
Buddha's writings, the Vedas, the Jewish OT, the bible, nor the Koran, knew anything about MODERN science which explains expansion.
If "expansion" constituted exact formulas, then by that logic, the ancient Greeks knew what quarks, and protons and neutrons and electrons were because they created the word "atom".
Using the word "expansion" means NOTHING in terms of modern knowledge.
