The birth and death of the universe


The birth and death of the universe

By:Magdy Abd Al-Shafy

More than 1400 years ago the Holy Quran referred to the beginning of the creation of the universe in one of its Holy verses , this reference is in conformity of what is now scientifically known as " the Big Bang " . In this Holy verse , the Holy Quran rebukes the atheists of every age ,who deny the creation of the universes, the claims of the atheists are based on the unsubstantiated illusion that the universe is static and it has no beginning or end . This unsubstantiated belief , in fact , dates back to early times . The idea first appeared in the Greek time and has been fostered in the Roman time but receded back in the face of catholic church . Unfortunately and under the fascination of the early philosophy , this doom belief has taken up again and has been developed till it became a sweeping force leaving most of the world in a quagmire of paganism . Modern atheism is the product of the scientific errors and contradictions between some verses in the bible and the Torah and the scientific discoveries .

Because of the scientific contradictions between some Holy books and science , atheism reared its head again and even much more brazenly than ever before and nursed the seeds of skepticism towards religions and the existence of Allah . All the Holy books are God's word but , unfortunately , the bane is that some church men and rabbis , being influenced by the culture and the traditions of their age , interpolated such superstition in the Holy books, this was a heinous act that left what is supposed to be God's word shaky in the face of materialism . The Holy Quran , the last revealed book and since the very beginning of its revelation survived the human tampering simply because Allah, as stated in the Holy Quran , has kept it protected against any attempt of human tampering .

The Big Bang , a theory that explains how the universe came into being , is the most accepted theory in this regard . This theory , now a fact , is scientifically proved . When this theory was first appeared , it was shrugged and even rejected by atheists as it means that the universe has a beginning , that is , there must be a creator . Atheist welcomed many other theories such as Darwinism and materialism .
