"Haven't the unbelievers seen that the heavens and the earth were joined together (in one singularity), then we clove both of them asunder.” (21:30)
This verse reflects the unity of creation as a dominating factor in the orderly form of the universe throughout its evolutionary history from one stage to another.
However, long before discovering the established phenomenon of the red shift, and its logical consequence of describing our universe as an expanding one, scientists used Einstein's theory of general relativity to extrapolate back in time and came to the striking conclusion that the universe had actually emerged from a single, unbelievably small, dense, hot region (the Hot Big Bang Model of the universe).
More recent calculations indicate that hydrogen and helium were the primary products of the Big Bang, with heavier elements being produced later within stars. The extremely high density within the "primeval atom" would cause the universe to expand rapidly. As it expanded, the smoky cloud of hydrogen and helium thus formed would cool and condense into nebulae stars, galaxies, clusters, super clusters, black holes, etc.
This explains the original singularity of the universe; its explosion to a huge cloud of smoke from which the different heavenly bodies were formed by separation into eddies of various masses followed by condensation. The condensed bodies were arranged into stellar systems, clusters, galaxies, supergalaxies, etc., and the formed galaxies started to drift away from each other, causing the steady expansion of the universe.
The Glorious Quran describes these three successive stages in the verses (21: 30), (41: 11) and (21: 104). The first and the third of these verses are discussed above, while the second reads:
"ثم استوى إلى السماء وهي دخان فقال لها وللأرض إئتيا طوعًا أو كرهًا قالتا أتينا طائعين"a (فصلت)
"Then He (Allah) turned to the sky while it was smoke, and ordered it the earth to come into being willingly or unwillingly, they answered: we do come in willing obedience*" (41: 11)

In the beginning there was nothing. Then there was something: a singularity, which grew at the speed of light and was billions of degrees. It was almost pure energy. In the first epoch, it is believed gravity existed and none of the other forces. Matter and antimatter were almost equal and annihilated each other. The difference is what became what we know as our Universe. Assymetry had been established. And so it was the first 10^-44 seconds and God saw it and said, "Yeah baby!"
And then with the rapid expansion, the Universe cooled and elementary particles began to form: photons and electrons, and other exotic leptons. And God saw it and said, "Aww Right!" 90% of the total entropy of the Universe occurred in that second. And such was the first second.
Then came the hadrons: protons, neutrons. But it was still too hot for atoms. (My epochs may be a little rough here). When the Universe was, I believe, several days old, the first atoms, hydrogen could form. Then helium. And so was the first week and the first month and God was pleased.
After something like 300,000 years, the Universe finally became transparent. Hydrogen atoms could fall toward gravitational centers of huge clouds to form the first stars and proto-galaxies. And the dark, gaseous Universe lit up.
Then stars became supernovas and enriched the interstellar medium with heavier elements. Then second generation and third generation stars after a few billion years. And planets, and life, and us. And then God said, "That's enough. I'm outta here!"
(I couldn't resist the God thing. Sorry.)

The Universe is an entity that was Created into a volume containment which consisted of two compoments.
These components consisted of a substance forming the structure of Space and out of that same substance mass structure was integrated. How mass was formed ,came out as fractals .out of these twisted fractals the more complex mass structure was constructed. The Universe became a constricted containment that formed the gravity phenomenon which is the cause of all motion.Its a closed dynamic system where all stars and galaxies are in continual motion.
This scientific Scenario is very Much the summary of the Creation of the subtance of the Heavens and the substance of the Earth ,which is Outlined In Genesis 1,chapter 1.
Therefore it it imposssible to divorce Science from The Biblical Record of Creation. The two, as truth , can go hand
in hand ,one comfirming the other.

Father Georges Lemaitre, a Catholic Priest and Physcist, once postulated the Primordial Atom which is a singularity that exploded (by, fusion it is expected) in what Dr. Fred Hoyle terms a Big Bang and then released mass in rudimentary and even possibly complex forms and over a period of time the hot plasma particles turned into the various elements of the periodic chart, gravity wells draw part of this matter to form stars, planets, galaxies.
The rest is history.

The universe began as a single space-time pulse of minimum size and duration that resulted from nothing but a finite potential.
The pulse continued and grew,accelerating to the speed of light.
The plum sized entity contained all the ingredients required to evolve into the universe we see and experience to-day.
There was no gravity,no temperature,no electro-magnetism
no strong or weak forces.
Only space of maximum density and a quantum error that allowed the eventual formation of matter and us.

An unknown force from the void was transformed into what we call the big bang, this was a sirge of pure energy.
This energy quickly became particles which grew into everything that exists in the universe today.

First there was nothing.
Then suddenly with mechanisms that we do not understand this nothing become something very very hot and very small and extremely dense. As this something started to cool down it started to grow bigger and started forming the stars then stars formed galaxies etc.
By the way there was never a bang... The term “Big Bang” was originally given to the theory (originally called “primeval atom”) by Fred Hoyle on a radio program in which he was mocking the theory. No explosion sorry...

Well, since I don't like being dishonest with people, you are going to hear the truth.
God created the heavens and the Earth, and then He set the Universe in motion with a perfect plan. That is why scientists can't understand everything they see, it's over our heads!
