The Holy Qur'an in Surah Al-Anbiya, Ch. No. 21, Verse No. 30, says. "Do not the unbelievers see. (Arabic)… the heavens and the earth were joined together, and We clove them asunder?"
Does the above Ayaat (verse) explain the Big Bang Theory?
According to
Peebles, P.J.E., Schramm, D.N., Turner, E.L. & R.G. Kron 1991, "The Case for the Relativistic Hot Big Bang Cosmology", Nature, 352, 769 - 776.
The Universe is expanding. It has since expanded from this hot dense state into the vast and much cooler cosmos we currently inhabit. The theory actually indicates that space is dynamic and more space is constantly created between particles as the density of the universe falls. I have also read about big bang in the website www.irf.net. The Holy Quran does not say anything about expanding Universe. It seems the verse in the Holy Quran does not match with the definition of Big Bang Theory. What are your views on this?

I like the fact that you do believe in Big Bang and trying to link it with your faith. It's good because you don't disregard that theory just because it's not mentioned in your book, as most christians do...
But you put those two vague verses together and say, "There you have it, Big Bang Theory"
Why didn't muslim scholars put forward that theory before Scientists did then?

What doesn't the quran claim to explain? Next it will be the discovery of bubble gum. It seems all of the verses I've seen could be interpretated almost anyway chosen. The quran and the bible are merely books of parables written by men, nothing more.

Actually, the Qur'an speaks explicity of the expansion of the universe. 51:47 "The heaven, We have built it with power. Verily. We are expanding it." The Arabic "sama" is used here for heaven. "Sama" denotes the physical, extra-terrestrial heaven.
It seems that, with further study of the Holy Qur'an, one might find that it is in perfect keeping with modern science.

The Koran says the Sun sets in a murky spring too. Would you like to tell me exactly where that is?
And those sound nothing like the Big Bang.

Any origin myth can be picked apart until you find something that can be twisted to fit in with current evidence from science. That doesn't make the myth true.

in all honesty that verse looks like it can be twisted in any direction that the reader chose to.
I am sure it was also explained in a spiritual sense in earlier times.
