A new scientific error in the bible!

[A proud Muslim]

After doing some research, I have found a new scientific error in the bible! It's regarding the creation of the universe. Here's it:

Creation according to the bible

The Creation of the World
1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

As you all can see that the according to the bible, earth was created before light and was formless. This is a serious error here.

The first light appeared approximately 240,000 to 300,000 years after the big bang. While earth began to form after 9.1 billion years after the big bang..

But how can we know that? Very simple.

The big bang is thought to have happened 13.7 billion years ago and the Earth is 4.6 billion years old so the earth formed 13.7 - 4.6 = 9.1 billion years after the big bang.

For example, if your father is 55 years and you're 12, this means that you were born after 43 years after he was born.

I hope brother Osama add this error to his collection.

And to clear confusion. If your father is 55 now, and you're 13 now, this means that he was 42 years old when had intercourse, which also means that you were born 42 years later after he (your father) was born.

Why doesn't anyone respond?

I guess you're right...as far as i remember, i was taught in physics class(correct me if I'm wrong because i studied physics till ordinary level lol)  that light is formed when electrons loses energy and enters the "ground stage"...so basically it would not be possible during the early stages of the universe because everything was kinda hot or maybe too hot for atoms of hydrogen or helium to kinda attract electrons...well basically when they attract they become "neutral/impartial atoms" i guess(we should remember that visible light is created by electrons within atoms)....so yeah i guess you're right that the universe had to wait for 240,000-300,000 years to see some light...

Another thing, if some people claim that it's referring to day and not light because God called light day, then they are obviously making another irrefutable error here.

According the bible, God created sun on day 4, and he created light on day 1. So we have 2 possibilities here, either light in the bible is referring to the actual day, or it's referring to the actual light, and in the end, both of them are wrong because:

1.If it's (the light that's mentioned in the bible) is referring to the actual day, then this is entirely falsehood because there can be no day without sun, and sun was created on day 4 while light was created on day 1

2.If it's (the light that's mentioned in the bible) is referring to the actual light, then this is incorrect because according to the bible the light was created after earth was created and was formless.

I guess you nailed it

I hope people give me their opinions about this error. Is it wrong? I look forward to your answers.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

"Light" can be interpreted in different ways.  The Light of GOD Almighty is different from the light of our stars and sun.  We don't know before the Big Bang if other stars and universes existed.  And light really begins when there is a light source.  So I am not really sure.

Take care,

But brother Osama, this is like saying that the earth that God created isn't our earth. There's nothing as "The Light of GOD Almighty is different from the light of our stars and sun.". This is like saying that the DNA that God created is different from the DNA that we know. The bible is referring to the actual light. It didn't say that that this light is different from the light that we know. In the bible it says that God created heavens and earth, doesn't that mean that it was referring to other heavens and another earth? When we say that God created earth in the Quran, do we mean that it's another earth?

[A proud Muslim]

Another thing, it didn't claim that this light is the "light" of God. It only said that God created light.

Another thing, it didn't claim that this light is the "light" of God. It only said that God created light.

[A proud Muslim]

And even if another universes and stars existed before the big bang, then this wouldn't matter because the bible claimed that light was created after earth was created and was formless, so would you add this error to your collection, brother Osama?

[A proud Muslim]

Brother Osama, will you add it to your collection, or not?

Let me see to it, akhi.

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers,

1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

So earth was a dead planet.  It also was also probably a rogue planet that didn't belong to any solar system.  The Glorious Quran also supports this possibility:

3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

This is perhaps after the earth was joined with our solar system and began to form life and atmosphere in the goldilocks zone.  Keep in mind that earth also went through molten hot phases as it was getting smashed and bombarded with mighty asteroids of iron that had comparable sizes to earth.  This is also how our moon was formed; from scattered debris of rocks from earth that initially formed a ring around it.  Both science and the Glorious Quran strongly support this:

I hope this helps, insha'Allah.
