CAN
SCIENCE HELP US IN OUR DECISION?
SCIENCE
101)
THE
BIBLE GETS COSMOLOGY COMPLETELY WRONG!
Genesis
1:3-5 There was evening and morning one day. This statement indicates
that the first thing created was the day and night. However, we
know that day and night would come after the existence of the sun and through
its rise and set. However, verse 14 from the same chapter indicates that the
sun was created on the fourth day, God made two great lights,
the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night.
Genesis
Moreover,
Genesis 1:14-19 describes the creation of the sun, moon and stars on the fourth
day, after the creation of the earth on the third day.
Our modern knowledge of the formation of the solar system does not allow us to
state that the sun, moon, and stars came into being after the creation of the
earth.
Scientists
tell us that stars eventually exploded and recondensed over numerous cycles,
forming the heavy elements that LATER condensed into the earth.
Quran
THEN
CAME A VAPOR/GAS THAT WAS DESTINED TO BE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH DURING THIS
OPEN STATE
- Scientists tell us that after the big bang, plasma formed and later cooled
to gases (helium and hydrogen).
Quran 41:11 Moreover, he directed himself to the heaven and it was a vapor. Yusaf Ali
THE
CREATION OF THE HEAVENS:
Scientists tell us that eventually, the gases condensed into stars.
Quran
41:12
So he ordained them seven heavens in two periods, and
revealed in every heaven its affair; and We adorned the lower heaven with
brilliant stars and made it to guard; that is the decree of the Mighty,
the knowing. -Translation M.H. Shakir
THE
EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE- Scientists
claim that the universe is expanding.
Quran
51:47
With power and skill did we construct the heaven: For
it is we who expand the vastness of Space. -Translation Yusaf Ali,
Maurice Bucaille
SCIENCE
102) THE BIBLE SAYS THE EARTH IS FLAT!
Isaiah
And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and
shall assemble the outcasts of
Revelation
7:1
And after these things I saw four angels standing
on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the
earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any
tree. (RSV)
Luke
4:5 The
devil led him up to a high mountain and showed him in an instant all the
kingdoms of the world. (NIV)
Jesus is said to be capable of seeing all the Kingdoms of Earth from the top
of a really tall place. Of course, this would be impossible if the Earth was
spherical. Christopher Columbus almost suffered a mutiny in the 15th century
because his crew feared falling over the edge of the Earth.
VS
THE
QURAN SAYS THE EARTH IS ROUND!
Quran, 79:30: God created
heaven, and after that he round shaped the earth. -Translation
M.H. Shakir
The Arabic word being
translated here Dahaha is translated as "expand;" however, it has
another meaning in the Arabic language and that is round shaped or egg shaped.
SCIENCE
103) THE BIBLE SAYS THE SUN IS MOVING AROUND THE EARTH
"He
set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (From
the NIV Bible, Psalm 104:5)
"The
sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. (From
the NIV Bible, Ecclesiastes 1:5)
"And
the sun stood still...So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and
hasted not to go down about a whole day."
(From the NIV Bible, Joshua
Then
the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back
the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
(From the NIV Bible, 2 Kings
Not
only does the Bible support a moving sun - it was simply common sense. Only a
fool would look up at the sky and say that the sun did not move! These
phenomena are simply due to Earth?s rotation and NOT
by Sun?s rotation. Sun is stationary for Earth, because earth is stuck in the
sun?s Gravity, like we are stuck in earth?s gravity. Does the bible ever
mention that the earth or any other planet rotates, like the Quran does? The
answer regrettably for Christians and Jews is no.
VS
THE
QURAN SAYS THE EARTH IS ROTATING
Quran,
"It
is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all
(the celestial bodies) rotate (falak), each in their celestial spheres."
Yusaf Ali, M.H. Shakir
The
Arabic word "falak" used for planets and planets' movements in Verse
21:33 means rotation or movement. The Quran states that all celestial bodies
including the earth rotate.?
