From I. A. McDOOM
The evidence in favour of the big bang theory continues to pile up.
There could now be little or no doubt in people’s minds that the Universe
was created from a singularity with a big bang and that the Universe is
expanding. In this connection the following three verses of the Koran which
was revealed some fourteen hundred years ago, are vital.
Chapter 59, Verse 24: He is Allah, the Creator, the Shaper out of naught
(original singularity), the Fashioner.
Chapter 21, Verse 30: Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and
the earth were joined together (original singularity) then We clove them
asunder (big bang) and We got every living thing out of the water (origin
of DNA?). Will they then not believe?
Chapter 51, Verse 47: The heaven, We have built it with power (big bang).
Verily we are expanding it (expanding Universe).
