THE SIMILAR SIZE AND DISTANCE OF SUN AND MOON REPLY
This is the statement of wikiislam.net:
The Qur'an has statements about the end of the world that are much as one would expect if the author believed the sun and moon to be of similar size and a similar distance from Earth.
The word translated "are joined" is Arabic jumi'a, a verb which means to collect together, gather together, bring together. Given that this would actually require the moon to travel 98 million miles away from Earth and into the sun, which dwarfs it by over 600 times in diameter, it seems vastly less fitting as an apocalyptic event than if the ancient conception of the cosmos was correct.

We feel after reading the statements of author of wikiislam.net that he is quite petty and narrow minded.He himself makes false and filthy statements on the basis of his bigoted eye.He presents this verse as an error without knowing that it is highly compatible with modern big crunch theory.The description of this theory is as;
"The Big Crunch is one possible scenario for the ultimate fate of the universe, in which the metric expansion of space eventually reverses and the universe recollapses, ultimately ending as a black holesingularity or causing a reformation of the universe starting with another big bang."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch#cite_note-1
Quran describes in the nutshell of metaphor the formation of singularity(as present before big bang) again.There are other verses of Holy Quran which describe creation of universe again after Qiyamah. Some are as follow:
Surah Al Anbiya Chapter 21 verse 104:
"The Day when We will fold the heaven like the folding of a [written] sheet for the records. As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. [That is] a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it."
Surah Yunus Chapter 10 verse 34:
"Say, "Are there of your 'partners' any who begins creation and then repeats it?" Say, " Allah begins creation and then repeats it, so how are you deluded?"
Similarly in al Naml 64,al ankabut 19.This verse is not an error rather it is a scientific miracle of Quran describing that a reverse process of creation of Universe will occur.There will be formation of one singularoty of celesstial bodies again and there will also be a second creation of the universe.This is Big Crunch Theory.We ask wikiislam author to put down his glasses of bigotry and read with open mind the verses of Quran. He says "his would actually require the moon to travel 98 million miles away from Earth and into the sun, which dwarfs it by over 600 times in diameter, it seems vastly less fitting as an apocalyptic event than if the ancient conception of the cosmos was correct." Ask the scientists believing in big crunch and first read big crunch theory completely.(If anyone have any question ,argument regarding this or any of the article on this blog then please comment or message at imtiazbashir7@gmail.com)
