Quranic Verses
-9-
Do the disbelievers not see that the skies (space)
and the earth (matter) were joined
together
then We ripped them apart?
21:30
The creation of the universe is a subject that has been given great attention
in the Quran. The huge
and varied amount of information contained in the Quran about almost
every stage and aspect of the creation
continues to astound scientists today because of its very accurate
agreement
with 20th century knowledge. How can a book written in the 7th
century contain such a rich amount of scientific
information that was to be discovered
13 centuries later? Neutral
observers consider this
to be valid
evidence
that such a
book could
not be the
work of any
human
being.
Fourteen
centuries
ago there
was simply
no human
who
possessed
such
knowledge.
All the
evidence
available
today
suggests an
explosive
origin to the
universe that
brought
both space,
matter and
time into
existence.
This is what
is referred to
as the Big
Bang. The
theory of the
Big Bang
which has
successfully
taken over
the place of
the 'Steady
state' theory
was worked
out in the
1920?s by
two
scientists
quite
independently of each
other, the
Russian
meteorologist Alexksandr
Friedmann
and the
Belgian
mathematician Georges
Lemaitre.
The Big
Bang itself
resulted
from an
extremely
dense
singularity.
The creation
of the
universe is
one of
matter,
space and
time that are
intimately
linked
together.
Matter and
space were
joined as
one and then
were
separated in
the
explosion.
This is very
accurately
described in
the Quran in
the above
verse.
