2-in genesis 1:20 the moving creatures is getting out(not created and its talking about dragons) from the water in the Quran it says that every living thing is created from water there is a big difference
plz read genesis from the begining so you can understand what kind of mistakes that is done if its written by someone it will help you understand later threads about scientific facts in the Quran
Dividing waters from waters has everything to do with what you're saying since the ancient Hebrews believed that the universe was composed of water prior to the creation event. YHWH split the heavens and the earth in Genesis and does so again in the Koran.
Gen 1:20 is actually talking about fish and birds. Regardless, the theological background is created for the idea that living things were created out of the waters.
Oh, and btw, the earth is 5 billion years old. The universe ("heavens") is 13.5 billion years old. The two weren't "cleaved" apart. One was created long after the other was. This is not consistent with either the Biblical or Koranic verses.
Hmm i thought the universe was older...
