What Bible and Qur'an says about SUN
Here is the order in the first (Genesis 1), the Priestly tradition:
Day 1: Sky, Earth, light
Day 2: Water, both in ocean basins and above the sky(!)
Day 3: Plants
Day 4: Sun, Moon, stars (as calendrical and
navigational aids)
Day 5: Sea monsters (whales), fish, birds, land animals, creepy-crawlies
(reptiles, insects, etc.)
Day 6: Humans (apparently both sexes at the same time)
Day 7: Nothing (the Gods took the first day off anyone ever did)
Sun Moves back
2Kings 20:11 The shadow on a sun dial moves backwards.
Isaiah 38:8 The shadow of the Sun is made to move backwards.
Psalms 121:6 It is apparently possible to suffer moonstroke as well as sunstroke.
Amos 8:9 The Sun will be made to set at noon in "clear day."
Mathew 24:29-30 Although the sun and the moon have been darkened and the stars have fallen from heaven, there is still enough light to see
According to Bible Sun stood in the sky
According to Joshua 10:12-13, the sun stood still in the sky. The author probably thought of the sun as going around the earth, but even if we take it to mean that the earth suddenly stopped rotating on its axis, objects would have been hurled off by the centrifugal force, which didn't happen. Hence, the account is erroneous. God obliges Joshua by making the sun and moon stand still (so that he can finish his battle by daylight).
Sun goes all over the heavens
According to Psalm 19:6, the sun goes all over the heavens and nothing can escape its heat. But that is false. Today we know that some parts of the universe are totally unaffected by our sun.
Creation of the Sun :
And God made two greet lights ; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also .
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day (Genesis 1 : 14-19)
Cross Question :
According to Bible Sun and moon has its own lights ? Both are identical . Bible differ both sun and moon only by its size. According to bible, only size makes difference.
We didn't understand how the day and night are calculated without the SUN. Because according to Bible, the sun was created on the Fourth day. is there any Christian scientist out there to explain this absurd theory.
How did all life (note that God created the plants on the second day) survived Until the fourth day (sun was created on the forth day) ? Can any Christian scientist clarify this new theory ?
Sun rise
Job 9:7 God can make the sun not rise and seal up the stars.
Light with sun
Mathew 24:29-30 Although the sun and the moon have been darkened and the stars have fallen from heaven, there is still enough light to see
Now Let us see what Qur'an has to say about Sun:
Arabs made important discoveries in this field when the West was in the dark ages or ignorance. This is in fact, a singularly mistaken idea resulting from an ignorance of history. In the first place, science was developed in Arabian countries at a time that was considerably after the Qur'anic Revelation had occurred; in the second, the the scientific knowledge prevalent at the highpoint of Islamic civilization would not have made it possible for a human being to have written statements on the Heavens comparable to those in the Qur'an.
Qur'an distinguishes between the Sun and The Moon by the use of different epithets:
Qur'an calls Sun as Siraj (torch), Wahh'aj (lamp)
.... and made therein a lamp and a shinning moon (Holy Qur'an 25:61)
And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp ? (Holy Qur'an 71 :16)
here Qur'an calls sun as lamp. whereas we can see that lamp produces its own light. So Qur'an calls it lamp. we will cover the moon on the next page.
Sun is moving
And the sun runs on to a term appointed for it, that is the ordinance of the Mighty, All knowing (Holy Qur'an 36 :38)
.....He made the sun and the moon subservient (to you), each one pursues its course to an appointed time (Holy Qur'an 13:2)
.....He made the sun and the moon subservient, each one runs on to an assigned term (Holy Qur'an 39:5)
What do you think ? Which one is God's word ...Bible or Qur'an ? Which one is pure and which one is contaminated ? think think think!!! Surely Qur'an is the word of God. Both scriptures date backs to the time when no man knows about science or scientific tests. None of that period person ever engaged in any scientific experiments. How did Muhammad (pbuh) knew these 21st century scientific facts .
The answer is the author of Qur'an is God and not Muhammad (pbuh)
Because Holy Qur'an is the God's word.
