Osiris said:
actually, it says... "anything smaller or greater than that"...
this depends on the english translation but nonethless it still says smaller indicating that there is something smaler than the atom.
Now you people have clearly misunderstood me. you have claimed that Muhammad wrote the Qur'an and in that case I have and will be presenting verses showing of knowledge posessed in the Quran that no man at the time could have had. I am
not saying you have to believe because of this. all I want is your explanation as to how Muhammad got his information. the Qur'an is not a book of science. Should science be used as the only tool to prove the Qur'an's validity? NO. is it the only tool? no. why choose science? because we live in a modern world of thinking where science is the basis of thinking. science is not the only criteria but one of them.
getting back to the topic.
Topic: Science in the Qur'an
1)"Praise be to Allah, the lord of the worlds."1:1
Explanation: the Qur'an states "lord of the
worlds" indicating more than one world, planet, galaxy, however you interpret it.
Question: how did Muhammad know there were more "worlds" other than earth?
2)"Have they not who disbelieve seen that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one piece), then we parted them." 21:30
Explanation: the Qur'an explains a mystery that physicists and astronauts have been trying to figure out for centuries. this mystery is the creation of the universe, using 2 specific words;
Fataq and
Rataq. the word
fataq in arabic signifies the process of breaking and separation of elements, and the word
rataq signifies the process of fusing or binding together of elements into a homogenous mass. hence the verse reveals that the heavens and earth at the beginning were together and then separated. this collaborates with the current Big Bang theory of creation that states 20,000,000,000 years ago the universe began with an explosive expansion of a single extremely condensed matter.
Question: How did Muhammad know about the Big Bang theory?
3)"He comprehended in his design the heaven when it was (only) a smoke." 41:11
Explanation: this verse indicates the heavens in the beginning were just a smoky mass before being transformed into a various galactic system of stars, and planets. A modification of the Big Bang theory describes the original condensed matter as arising from empty space. this is called the "Inflationary theory". the astronomers today have pictures of other galaxies being formed by the condensation of spiraling cosmic mists.
Question: How did Muhammad know that the heavens were just a smokey mass before being transformed into stars and planets?
3) the Qur'an repeatedly refers to 3 groups of creation: things in the Heaven, things on earth, and things between them.
"We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, but for just ends." 15:85
"To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil." 20:6
"Not for sport did we create the heavens and the earth and all that is between (them)." 21:16
Explanation: the following verses also mention things created between the heavens and the earth: 25:59;32:4;43:85;44:7;46:3;50:38; and 78:37. The creation of these things mentioned repeatedly is needs explanation. Scientists have recently discovered the existence of extra-galactic material in space. the basic process of the formation of the universe involved fragmentation and condensation. As earlier stated the arabic words
fataq(fragmentation) and
rataq(fusion) come into play. during the initial process of
rataq(fusion), a few fragments were left out in space. they are now called interstellar galactic material. these are the materials the Qur'an refers to as between the heavens.
Question: How did Muhammad know of the things that lie between the heavens and earth?
