All it says is that &#8220;the heavens&#8221; and &#8220;the earth&#8221; were once together and that God separated them. It&#8217;s a BIG jump from this basic statement to the Big Bang Theory (a theory first suggested, not by a Muslim reading this Qur&#8217;an, but by a Catholic priest). <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The idea of God (or the gods) separating and organizing creation isn&#8217;t unique to the Qur&#8217;an. If this is a proof, then many other religions of the world are vindicated. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most importantly, the Qur&#8217;an says that EVEN UNBELIEVERS recognize that the heavens and the earth were separated.
