[Quranic reflection]: The Big Bang theory in the Quran.

RE: [Quranic reflection]: The Big Bang theory in the Quran.
It's a lot like making things fit within a horoscope. When vague enough, you can make it work.

Look at this verse and you'll understand:

Man you are dense. You have been repeating this for years. Saying the earth is flat 1 billion times does not make the earth flat.

Neither the Koran, or Bible, or Torah or Talmud, not Buddhist writings, not Hindu writings, or ancient Mayan writings constitute modern scientific knowledge. None of those things are science textbooks. 

You are wrong in trying to retrofit science to your old mythology as much as any other religious apologist who does it for another religion.

All I said is the following verse:


Quote:Sura 21, The Quran:


https://quran.com/21?startingVerse=30&tr...C207%2C149

(30) Do the disbelievers not realize that the heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass then We split them apart?1 And We created from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?

— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran

 How is that a retrofit ?[Image: huh.gif]
Even though it's 1400 years old

Believe me, a lot figured it out waaaay before modern science was even born.

I'm amused that religious people continue to play this game - it actually undermines their position.  Think of it this way:  A scientist (usually of a different belief, or none) has succeeded in explaining a natural principle better than a god.   Hehe

IDK Astrega, I mean a cosmologist would literally say:

"Hey; the universe was single dense unit that exploded".

A Muslim would say:

"heavens and earth were ˹once˺ one mass then God split them apar?"

The first gets a noble prize 
The second get a crusade.

Funny.

Every time I find a verse in the Quran that applies to scientific concepts that we newly discovered in this age only, I have to share it. It is not due to my lack of belief; but it is due to the simple reminding that the Quran is the truth.

Look at this verse and you'll understand:


Quote:Sura 3, The Quran:
https://quran.com/3?startingVerse=191

(191)˹They are˺ those who remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth ˹and pray˺, “Our Lord! You have not created ˹all of˺ this without purpose. Glory be to You! Protect us from the torment of the Fire.

No you don't, because if you actually did that you wouldn't be bringing upany. Tyere are no qu'ranic verses that point to a valid scientific theory.

What you do instead is, is point to verses that fundamentalist preachers with no scientific knowledge or curiosity tell you are scientific.

Quote:Read my text again and again: scientists' knowledge stop at the explosion of the Singularity; nobody knows what came before the Singularity:

‘Before the Singularity’ is a semantically null statement. It’s like asking ‘What colour is Tuesday?’ or ‘What does blue taste like?’
