( 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

The verse in Arabic:
والسماء بنيناها بأيد وإنا لموسعون
If you write anything vague enough you can get it fit any outcome. Its what mediums do to fool their audience.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
