It is superficially similar to certain aspects of the scientific explanation once you've done some post hoc cherry picking and misinterpretation.No post hoc. Read the verse again and realize that this was said 1400 years ago.
Quote: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.
It will get dimmer and probably humans won't even see it on that day because the red giant's light would be so strong and close to both earth and the moon. So if you will see the stronger light; not the weaker light.
You neglect that earth will be so close to the red giant, so close that it will swallow it later on. If our planet was faraway from the sun I might believe you, but never if the earth is proven to end up inside the sun.
look at the picture in this link again: (this is earth facing the red giant)

Except the people on the night side of the planet, who will only see the moon brighten. The people on the dayside won't see the moon just like they don't now.
If I were you, I wouldn't go around accusing others of doing things "just to make it look like they knew what the fuck they were talking about." (paraphrase)
