According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their own light. Prove it scientifically?

Question

According to the Bible both the sun and the moon emit their own light. In the Book of Genesis, chapter 1, verse 16 says, "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night".

Science tells us today that the moon does not have its own light. This confirms the Qur’anic concept that the light of the moon is a reflected light. To think that 1400 years ago, Prophet Muhummad (pbuh) corrected these scientific errors in the Bible and then copied such corrected passages in the Qur’an is to think of something impossible.


Remember
There is no god but Allah , Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the messenger of Allah.

Answer 1

There is no god BUT Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the messenger of Allah.

Answer 2

"Dr. Bucaille says:
“Whereas the Bible calls the sun and moon ‘lights’, and merely adds to one the adjective ‘greater’ and to the other ‘lesser’, the Qur’an ascribes differences other than that of dimesion to each respectively” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).

In all of these verses, God expresses the notion that the sun and the moon are “not absolutely identical lights” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 156).

Dr. Bucaille draws his conclusions from what he found in the Qur’an about the sun and the moon:

“What is interesting to note here is the sober quality of the comparisons, and the absence in the text of the Qur’an of any elements of comparison that might have prevailed at the time and which in our day would appear as phantasmagorial” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157).

In short, “There is nothing in the text of the Qur’an that contradicts what we know today about these two celestial
bodies.” (The Bible, the Qur’an and Science, p. 157) "

Answer 3

Not true the Sun First for Day ,the Moon A Second to reflect light from the sun to the opposite side Earth, Ha looks like that would have told man the Earth was round . The Allah I know, is a Huge Allah or God. He can do any thing and always Gives his Chosen the upper hand. over those who do not accept his Anointed Son.

Answer 4

Both books were written by humans. Belief does not make something fact. Just like the catholic church believed that the earth was flat for centuries didn't make that a fact. Your book just happened to have guessed right on that fact. Doesn't mean theres a supreme being, or anything super natural for that matter. The thousands of gods that have been created over the past several thousand years and beyond were created in the minds of humans. Including allah, which was created by the prophet muhammad.

Answer 5

I got no problem with that one. The moon reflects light, but it could easily be considered a "lesser light" source. The Bible doesn't say that the moon actually generates its light but that it is a great light.

Wanna get technical? Okay. The light itself (i.e. the photon wave-packets) are definitely coming from the direction of moon and are still considered a lesser light. Therefore, the "lesser light" refers to the light itself, not to the moon.

Answer 6

Please don't take things out of context just to try to prove your point. If I went on and on about how the Quran says the earth is flat and the sun sets in a muddy pool, you'd give me some tired analogy and tell me to go read the entire passage. When it comes down to it, none of your questions are going to make a true believer in Christ who is lead by the Holy Spirit to abandon their faith. You are not asking a sincere question- you want to prove a point. My point is, the devil is a deciever and has used religion (ALL religion) to distract people from what is really important- having a personal relationship with Him.

Answer 7

The sun emits light, but the moon does not. It reflects sunlight... Why do people take the bible so literally without thinking about it!

Answer 8

That's like arguing with someone when they say "gee the sky is blue today". The sky takes on the color from other sources, it has no color of its own.

Just like the bible talks about the four corners of the earth. Obviously the earth is round. The Marines used to have a saying about four corners of the earth, how they cover them all. I doubt the Marines thought the earth was square.

It's a manner of speaking.

Answer 9

how do u know that lesser light is not the reflected light


and peace be no him why did muhummad kill so many people and why do muslim killing so many now they cry peace and go on killing

just like the Bible said it would happen
that people would kill for a false god..

Answer 10

Yes, the bible is wrong on that and other astronomical views. On the other hand, the first serious criticisms of Ptolemaic theory in Islam didn't take place until the 13th century by Nasir al-Din al-Tusi. (That was ahead of Christianity in general, but still wrong.)
