[Coach]

ATLian,

>Just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean that
>you can't argue about it e.g. you are always arguing with
>Coach about Allah, or you will argue against the Big Bang and
>any other theory of how we came about other than creation, yet
>you don't believe in them.


I know it is tempting to lump islam and Christianity together but Muslims don't reject the Big Bang theory. This is what the Qur'an says about the beginning...

"DO THEY NOT THE UNBELIEVERS SEE THAT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE JOINED TOGETHER (AS ONE UNIT OF CREATION) BEFORE WE CLOVE THEM ASUNDER? WE MADE FROM WATER EVERY LIVING THING. WILL THEY NOT THEN BELIEVE?" (Qur'an Chapter 21 Verse 30)


Muslims also (like physicists since Hubble's discovery in the early 20th century) believe in the expanding universe...

"AND IT IS WE WHO HAVE CONSTRUCTED THE HEAVEN WITH MIGHT, AND VERILY, IT IS WE WHO ARE STEADILY EXPANDING IT." (Qur'an Chapter 51 Verse 47)
