Page 33 - The Creation Of The Universe

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar) 31

"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 fatk in Arabic and implies that something comes into being by
tearing apart or destroying the structure of ratk. 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 ratk. They are
separated (fatk) with one coming out of the other. Intriguingly, cosmolo-
gists speak of a "cosmic egg" that consisted of all the matter in the universe
prior to the Big Bang. In other words, all the heavens and earth were in-
cluded in this egg in a condition of ratk. This cosmic egg exploded vio-
lently causing its matter to fatk and in the process created the structure of
the whole universe.
Another truth revealed in the Qur'an is the expansion of the universe
that was discovered in the late 1920s. Hubble's discovery of the red shift in
the spectrum of starlight is revealed in the Qur'an as:
It is We Who have built the universe with (Our creative) power,
and, verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it. (Surat adh-
Dhariyat: 47)
In short, the findings of modern science support the truth that is re-
vealed in the Qur'an and not materialist dogma. Materialists may claim this
all to be "coincidence" but the plain fact is that the universe came into be-
ing as a result of an act of Creation on the part of Allah and the only true
knowledge about the origin of universe is to be found in the word of Allah
as revealed to us.
