[Quranic Reflection]: moon absorbed by the sun in the Quran: far future.

[WinterHold]

In the Quran, a very strange verse is describing Judgement Day, it says:




Judgement Day is the day of resurrection; it will come after our deaths, we shall rise from the dead to be judged by God and then receive our judgement for our deeds in this life.

Shockingly; verse 9 of Sura 75 is predicted exactly by science; when the sun turn into a "red giant" in the far future, it is expected to swallow the moon:

Eclipse and zombies. Stolen from the Christians. Or more accurately, stolen from the same credulous pagans that the Christians stole it from.

You can tell that it has nothing to do with the Earth-Moon system being engulfed by the Sun billions of years from now as it becomes a red giant by the verse immediately before it. "And the moon is dimmed" is precisely the opposite of what would happen as the Sun expanded to engulf it.

The events in the order of the verses speak about what happens in the day of judgement (see verse 1):
1- The moon is dimmed (verse 8)
2-The moon and the sun joining (verse 9)

This is identical to the scientific explanation:

A red giant star is a dying star in the last stages of stellar evolution. In only a few billion years, our own sun will turn into a red giant star, expand and engulf the inner planets, possibly even Earth. What does the future hold for the light of our solar system and others like it?

When the sun becomes a red giant, automatically the light from the moon will be dimmed because the light from the sun will be massive + both the earth and the moon will be so close from the sun. So massive that a celestial body that reflects the sun's light will be insignificant.

Let alone that earth and the sun will get so close because in the end; we know the conclusion:

Expanding red giant stars will swallow too-close planets. In the solar system, the sun will engulf Mercury and Venus, and may devour Earth, as well.

The Quranic verse told the tale of this event with mere few words.

What a bunch of fanatical religious apologists believe and what is true are two different things.  Did you know that the islamic hierarchy supresses the fact that the quran in its current form didn't appear until the 9th century CE and that it's about as heavily edited as the bible is.

[Quranic Reflection]: Quranic manuscripts from 1400 years

The Birmingham Quran manuscript is a parchment on which two leaves of an early Quranic manuscript are written. In 2015 the manuscript, which is held by the University of Birmingham,[1] was radiocarbon dated to between 568 and 645 CE (in the Islamic calendar, between 56 BH and 25 AH).[2][3] It is part of the Mingana Collection of Middle Eastern manuscripts, held by the university's Cadbury Research Library.[2]

Ah, but muslims want us to believe that they copied other peoples religions because an angel told a rug merchant some shit in  cave.  We're not supposed to wonder whether they might have heard about this stuff the same way that anyone else ever heard about anything.  We're not supposed to notice that they then engaged in the same establishment myth production as all of the other people who did the same thing, with those same beliefs.

Ultimately, we're not supposed to notice that magic book..is a book, written by people.  That has to be the single hardest pill to swallow.  Not that god transcribed their thirdhand religion...but that they think anyone other than themselves would believe that....and, in the case of OP specifically...that this silly shit is the kind of silly shit that would convince anyone else.

When this book gives a detailed scenario that people only knew today; then this book is special.
