The Quran and the Big Bang
Claim: Quran Mentions about Big Bang
Lets look the next verses to understand the Qur’anic image of “big bang”…
21:30 Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were of one piece, then We parted them, and we made every living thing of water? Will they not then believe?
Debunked
Details
- Earth is PART of the “heavens”(universe,planets,….),there is no separation.
- Earth is as separated from heavens as ANY other part of the universe.God must have separated ALL planets from heavens,oh wait from quranic point of view heavens is all other planets !!! (I know it is confusing)
Also
- As quran says heavens and earth where one piece then god separated them.
- To accept this you need to also accept that earth,planets and even meteors where formed before big bang,and were one body of mass,then an “explosion”(which is a misunderstanding of big bang) caused by GOD, separated them.
- There was no earth up until 9 billion years after the big bang. So it couldn’t have been part of “heaven”.
This is how planets form:
As you see the argument of quran is not valid at all, and this “miracle” is result of linking and wishful thinking of muslims, that quran is miraculous.
When muhammed talked about separation of heaven and earth he was talking about the common belief that earth is part of heaven
Separation of heaven and earth in different cultures;
Egyptians
Thoth, the moon god [Which there are many arguable evidence for similarity of moon god and allah], was given a spell to protect humans from harm when the sun disappeared below the earth. From that moment on, humans were separated from the gods, as earth was separated from the heavens. For more information, visit: Canadian Museum of Civilization
Māori
Tangaroa – son of earth and sky. In the most well-known version of the Māori creation story, Tangaroa is the son of Papatūānuku, the earth mother, and Ranginui, the sky father. He is one of the 70 children who, when earth and sky were separated.
