The Splitting Asunder of "The Heavens and The Earth"

The word ratq translated as "sewn to" means
"mixed in each, blended" in Arabic dictionaries. It
is used to refer to two different substances that
make up a whole. The phrase "we unstitched" is
the verb fataqa in Arabic and implies that
something comes into being by tearing apart or
destroying the structure of ratq. The sprouting of
a seed from the soil is one of the actions to
which this verb is applied.
Let us take a look at the verse again with this
knowledge in mind. In the verse, sky and earth
are at first subject to the status of ratq. They are
separated (fataqa) with one coming out of the
other. Intriguingly, when we remember the first
moments of the Big Bang, we see that a single
point included all the matter in the universe. In
other words, everything, including "the heavens
and earth" which were not created yet, were
included in this point in a condition of ratq. This
point exploded violently, causing its matter to
fataqa and in the process created the structure of
the whole universe.
When we compare the expressions in the verse
with scientific findings, we see that they are in
perfect agreement with each other. Interestingly
enough, these findings were not arrived at until
the 20th century.
The picture represents the Big Bang, which
revealed once again that God created the universe
from nothingness. The Big Bang is a theory that
has been proven with scientific evidence.
Although some scientists tried to advance
alternative theories against the Big Bang,
scientific evidence caused the theory to be
completely accepted by the scientific community.
