I am a 22 years old Muslim and I want to share some facts about The Holy Quran, so , it is necessary for you to be open-minded and open-hearted because if I turn the glass upside down and poured water on it, I would never get a glass of water.
CREATION OF THE UNIVERSE:
‘THE BIG BANG’
The creation of the universe is explained byastrophysicists as a widely accepted phenomenon, popularly known as ‘The Big Bang’. It is supported by observational and experimental data gathered by astronomers and astrophysicists for decades.
According to ‘The Big Bang’, the whole universe was initially one big mass (Primary Nebula). Then there was a ‘Big Bang’ (Secondary Separation) which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the probability of it happening by ‘chance’ is nil. The Qur’an contains the following verse regarding the origin of the universe:
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We clove them asunder?” [Al-Qu’ran 21:30]
The striking similarity between the Qur’anic verse and ‘The Big Bang’ is inescapable! How could a book, which first appeared in the deserts of Arabia 1400 years ago, contain this profound scientific truth?
Well I believe its the words of the one who created 100 Billions Galaxies.
Deuteronomy 18:21:22
"You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?”
" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."
“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.” (Deuteronomy, 18:19).
Now its your job to find out the truth. My job is to deliver the message.
"And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message." [036:017]

I've only just woken up so I'm not really up for any particularly deep brain activity yet but it's certainly very interesting and has definately made me wonder.
I respect your choice of religion but other religions have claims that they could also use to show the validity of their teachings. In other words they are not convincing enough for me to join any of them.
I will say one thing, whoever first made that statement was wise in that area.

Then just do one thing pray to your lord and ask him to guide you to the straight path. Ameen
Brother boycew02 this is my advise.

Yes, not convincing for anybody except thier selves, because they don't have anything influencial or true.

I think 14 centuries ago no body was that wise to predict something about creation which is discovered recently by modern science and technology.
I think the wise was not any one but the creator himself.

I have heard this before. I prayed to God once, and he led me to the Jehovah's Witnesses. Boy did he lead me wrong. But then if one believed in karma, one could say that I had lessons to learn there, and I learned them well. I looked for God in Hinduism and prayed to God again. Another big mistake.
What I am saying is, do not expect to be led to the right path just because you prayed and believed.

sometimes we are guided wrong so we may see the truth.
I am sure it didn't take you long to discover the error of your path and readjust it.
What does cleaving the Heavens (whatever they may be) and the earth asunder (whatever that may mean) have to do with a theory that attempts to explain how the origination of the Universe was kickstarted?
Don't get me wrong, I don't really like any of the other religions' explanations, either, but the two claims don't really seem to fit together.
So, I'm still waiting for the science part to kick in. This doesn't explain anything to me anymore than an alliteration in the bible. God created the earth in 6 days (or so Christians believe) and did you know that if I count 36 stars in the sky, and divide that number by the total amount of days it took god to create everything that I'd have that VERY number!!! Look, I can do this all day long. I can pick random numbers and I can make them seem very significant if I want to. I can pick verses and read them for what they really are or turn them into something significant.
"Cry havoc!Let loose the dogs of war". - Shakespeare, Julius Ceasar
You see what Shakespeare is talking about is not actually talking about Antony realizing the error of killing Ceasar.
Oh no, I'm gonna twist this around to suit me. You see, what Shakespeare was actually talking about is the creation of religion. Upon the creation of religion letting loose the dogs of war was a metaphor, of kind, in saying that once religion spreads it will be like dogs of war. Do you see how easy it is to take any sentence from any given writing and turn it into something that benefits you? I can probably go through Shakespeare and do this a thousand times. Picking one sentence out of a book does nothing to prove anything.

Sister Jessaka, if God Almighty really exist and we believe him, then we should never lose hope. The religion you are following might not be true and can not bring peace to your heart, therefore keep praying to God Almighty for guidance, but with an open heart and much more hope.

As brother dncngrl1964 said: Sometimes we are guided wrong and we just don't understand it.

That clearly explains The Big Bang Theory if you look at it a bit closer.
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of Creation), before We ripped them apart?”
