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:
No, it really isn't. It is superficially similar to certain aspects of the scientific explanation once you've done some post hoc cherry picking and misinterpretation.
Quote: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.
No it won't. First, the moon would not be getting dimmer, the sun would be getting brighter. The moon would not be dimmed. Second, and more importantly, the moon shines by reflected light. That means that as the sun gets brighter so does the moon. This is the opposite of what verse 8 says. Thank you for using modern science to demonstrate just how wrong the Quran is. Again. In case there was ever any doubt.
