14 billion years ago the universe expanded from a single point in an act of creation dubbed "The Big Bang". The resulting cloud of hydrogen and helium came together to form the first stars. In the nuclear fusion of those stars heavier elements such as oxygen & carbon were created. When those huge stars died in massive supernova explosions they seeded the universe with the new elements before collapsing in upon themselves to form the first black holes. Those black holes merged to become the cores of new galaxies. Smaller stars then formed with planets and moons. In the waters of the earth the new elements came together to form the first living cell. That first cell replicated. Those cells then came together into multicellular organisms. The human form and the modern animal kingdom were then molded out of those organisms in a gradual process over billions of years. Around 50,000 years ago two of these new creatures awoke with the power of conceptual thought and gave birth to the human race.

The universe is dominated by “Dark” matter and energy.

“Dark matter” is an invisible undetectable force the existence of which is inferred by its effect on the physical world. It surrounds everything, holds all celestial objects in their orbits, and without it life could not exist. “Dark energy” is an invisible undetectable force the existence of which is inferred by its effect on the physical world. It is expanding the universe at an ever increasing rate as it grows in strength and will eventually be all that remains after the destruction of all creation in “The Big Rip”.

Quran 21:30 ARE, THEN, they who are bent on denying the truth not aware that the heavens and the earth were once one single entity, which We then parted asunder?

51:47 And it is We who have built the universe with Our creative power; and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it.

20:105 AND THEY WILL ask thee about what will happen to the mountains when this world comes to an end. Say, then: "My Sustainer will scatter them far and wide, and leave the earth level and bare, so that thou wilt see no curve thereon, and no ruggedness."

4:11 And He it is who applied His design to the skies, which were yet but smoke; and He it is who said to them and to the earth, "Come into being, both of you, willingly or unwillingly!" - to which both responded, "We do come in obedience." And He it is who decreed that they become seven heavens in two eons, and imparted unto each heaven its function. And We adorned the skies nearest to the earth with lights, and made them secure: such is the ordaining of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

22:65 and that it is He who holds the celestial bodies in their orbits, so that they may not fall upon the earth.

13:2 It is God who has raised the heavens without any supports that you could see, and is established on the throne of His almightiness; and He it is who has made the sun and the moon subservient to His laws, each running its course for a term set by Him. He governs all that exists.

21:30 - and that We made out of water every living thing? Will they not, then, begin to believe?

71:13 What is amiss with you that you cannot look forward to God's majesty, seeing that He has created every one of you in successive stages? Do you not see how God has created seven heavens in full harmony with one another, and has set up within them the moon as a light reflected and set up the sun as a radiant lamp? And God has caused you to grow out of the earth in gradual growth; and thereafter He will return you to it in death: and then He will bring you forth from it in resurrection.

39:5 He has created you all out of one living entity, and out of it fashioned its mate; and he has bestowed upon you four kinds of cattle of either sex; and He creates you in your mothers wombs, one act of creation after another, in threefold depths of darkness. Thus is God, your Sustainer: unto Him belongs all dominion: there is no deity save Him: how, then, can you lose sight of the truth?

23:12 NOW, INDEED, We create man out of the essence of clay, and then We cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in the womb's firm keeping, and then We create out of the drop of sperm a germ-cell, and then We create out of the germ-cell an embryonic lump, and then We create within the embryonic lump bones, and then We clothe the bones with flesh - and then We bring all this into being as a new creation: hallowed, therefore, is God, the best of artisans!

65:12 GOD is He who has created seven heavens, and, like them, the many aspects of the earth. Through all of them flows down from on high, unceasingly, His creative will, so that you might come to know that God has the power to will anything and that God encompasses all things with His knowledge.

55:26 All that lives on earth or in the heavens is bound to pass away: but forever will abide thy Sustainer's Self, full of majesty and glory. Which, then, of your Sustainer's powers can you disavow?
