No, I will leave the arrogance and ignorance with you.
I knew it! I just knew it.
LOL
Almost everytime that I have come across Muslims here who would twist their verses to mean the Big Bang, they will use the some biased YouTube videos without understanding a single thing about Big Bang cosmology.
First of. The YouTube video described the Big Bang as the "explosion"...WRONG!
It wasn't any explosion...just the young universe as a singularity began "explaining". Science explain the expansion of the universe as the same as the expansion of "space".
The "single point" which the video described it as, is the singularity and that the universe in its most primal state. But it wasn't singularity isn't separate from the universe, it is the universe, and it wasn't a single point in the universe, the singularity is the universe, and it was everywhere.
The most common analogy to describe the expansion of the universe is not "explosion", but that of the balloon.
Imagine the universe in its singularity state being the deflated balloon. When you blow air into the balloon, the whole surface of the balloon will expand.
Whether the balloon is in its previous deflated state or it ever-increasing inflating state; the different states they were in don't indicate they were two different balloons. No, it is still the same balloon.
So whether the universe is in primordial state as a singularity, or in its current form, as we see it now, it is the same universe.
And no Muslims (that misuse the Qur'an passages with the BB) seem to understand the physics of an explosion, because they all seemed to confuse the name of cosmology "Big Bang" as an explosion, because they are so small-minded.
The Big Bang described the singularity as being hot and dense, then as the universe expands, the universe is actually cooling down. As the universe expand and cool, the particles began to form from the energies that come with and from the singularity, turning smaller particles into larger particles.
So as time go by the universe actually start
- from "very, very hot" (at singularity state),
- to still "very hot" (smaller particles began to form, eg quarks, leptons, ),
- then to "hot" (grouping together of subatomic particles and forming into larger particles, eg hadrons like protons, neutrons, nuclei, follow by bounding together hadrons into atomic elements, like hydrogen and helium),
- then to our current state of being warm (when elements began to form into larger objects, eg from hydrogen bounded together by gravity, to form the first generation of stars).
So as time go by, smaller particles become bigger particles.
But with the "explosion", it is the other way around. By using a bomb as an example for the explosion.
Before the explosion, the bomb actually begins with the object being whole (hence singular) and temperature-wise it will start off as being cold. Then when the bomb detonates, the bomb will break apart, becoming hot at flash-point. Then the bomb fragments will break further down into smaller pieces, when it reach maximum temperature of the explosion. Then from maximum temperature it will cool down exponentially.
This scenario of the bomb (or explosion) is the exact opposite of what expanding universe is all about.
The Big Bang go from being hot at the beginning, and time and space expand, the cooling universe allow formation of particles before the formation of the first stars.
The explosion, on the other hand, begins with a cold bomb, whole and complete. When the bomb explode, it will become and then cold, but everything in the explosion precinct will break apart.
The Big Bang is not about breaking apart, but from building upward. Where as a bomb exploding is actually breaking things apart.
So I would put it very bluntly to you, that the authors of the two YouTube videos are just two more very ignorant idiots.
Now I understand all about the passage, the YouTube video is referring to: 21:30.
To show you what I means, here is the other translations of the same verse:
The problem is, as with most Muslim interpretations, is matter of context: they have the tendencies to replace original context of the verse with modern context. Muslims often confuse the word "heaven" with the "universe".
The "universe" is really a very modern astronomy concept, that no one before the 20th century knew of or understood.
For instance, astronomers before the telescopes thought the Andromeda Galaxy was a star, as part of the Milky Way. And after the telescope was invented, astronomers of that revised this galaxy as a nebula and still part of the Milky Way, during the 17th and 19th centuries.
They didn't realise that the Andromeda Galaxy was a separate galaxy, even bigger and with even more stars than the Milky Way. It wasn't until the early 20th century that they recognise Andromeda Galaxy as a separate galaxy, that they realise there were even more galaxies out there, billions of them. Astronomers simply didn't know just how large the universe is, because back then there telescopes weren't powerful enough.
The problem is that you (and other Muslims) are attempting to twist your passages in your scripture into modern science. That's dishonest circular thinking, without understanding modern science, and clearly not understanding the contexts of their own verses, which they (including yourself) have twisted out of proportions.
The real contexts to the "heavens", is the "sky", not the "universe".
And the sky is not the heaven. The sky is actually just how we see and what we see when we look up from our position, at ground-level.
The image of the sky or heaven, as how every ancient and medieval people would see the heaven as a "dome", or a "ceiling", "roof" or "canopy". That's what they think they see in the sky is only a very tiniest of portion of the universe.
Note that I have highlighted all references to heavens" in red, both in verse 30 and verse 32. In green, I have the "sky" references in green.
In blue, where it described the heavens or sky as "ceiling" (in Sahih), "roof" (Pickthall & Muhsin Khan) or "canopy" (Yusuf Ali).
Clearly verse 32 is describing the heavens as sky, and I think it is the same with verse 30.
You don't understand the concept of scholarship. You may be able to read Arabic, but if you cannot, then any half-decent scholar would rely more than one source, even if you can read Arabic.
Being able to read Arabic, don't guarantee that you understand the context of a verse that he or she is reading. I am quite sure that each Muslim can have different interpretation in what they read.
But it is not just a matter of you or those YouTube videos trying to understand the verse: no, you are attempting to reinterpret the text and change its meaning. That's an example of dishonesty that some Muslims clearly exhibited.
