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

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Bottom line: the conclusion of this verse is that the moon and the sun are joined in the future, and that is proved by science to happen.

But the verse doesn't say that the moon and the sun are 'joined'. It says they are 'brought together'.  Not the same thing at all.

You might have a better case if the verse said something along the lines of, 'And the Sun will grow to a great size and will devour the moon'. But it doesn't, so you don't.

That's the thing about Abrahamic prophecies - they're either dead wrong or so bloody vague that you can shoehorn any expedient meaning into them you want to. Now, you take the Delphic Oracle - she said that Oedipus would mate with his mother and murder his father.  THAT'S specificity for you. Mohammed didn't do nearly as well.
