muslim many muslims have interpreted verse 21 surah 21 verse 30 as big bang when it says the heavens and earth were joined together and we clothed them as slander and we brought everything out of water will they not then believe this well like here if we interpret heaven and earth as as a phase meaning everything that's pretty accurate because that would just mean everything in our everything in our universe not everything in the multiverse everything specific to our universe which would make which would be fine because it would just mean that everything in our universe was together and and then it would you know it was glowed as slander many people have said well there was no bang in the sense or the big bang was not a bag

0:39

but again i like to break things down what do you mean when there is an explosion or a bank you know explosion what is explosion something that you know you have something like a bomb is all the substance is in a very you know is um compressed together and in a very small amount of time it has a rapid expansion and the explosion occurs that's what you mean by back we don't mean sound by bank we just this is you know you you could in principle think of a bank without in space for example there would if there's no air there would be sound

1:14

philosophically they one could argue if there was no ear to hear it then how could they be sound yes interestingly what we mean by you know clothe them as slander blow them apart is the fact that something which is held together in a very small area certainly undergoes a certain expansion that is what inflating what happened to universe during inflation universe we we know universe was in a very small you know volume and it went there was an inflation and it was a rapid expansion so that's pretty that's pretty accurate that's but people have already highlighted it so nothing

1:54

new here yeah i'm just trying to answer to people who say well it's not it's not an explosion nobody's saying that there was like it was it was an explosion like a dynamite and then they'd say why how come happens you know heavens and earth is meaning everything
