Chirri ...

Chirri : The quoted verse indicates that the vapor or what constitutes the vapor of molecules and atoms was the first material thing which existed in this world. Wilson : Of what material did the Almighty create life? Chirri . The Holy Qur'an declares that God has created all living beings out of water: “Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the Earth were closed up, so We split them, and We made from water everything living?

Will they not then believe?” 21:30 “And God has created every walking life out of water, of them that which crawls upon its belly, and of them is that which walks upon two feet, and of them that which walks upon four. God creates what He pleases. Surely God is Possessor of power over all things.” 24:45 The Order of Creation Wilson : Does the Qur'an confirm the statement of the Bible which is contained in the Genesis book about the order in the creation of the universe?

Chirri : The Qur'an does not contain such a statement on the order of the creations. However, Muslims do not subscribe to the contents of the first chapter in Genesis book because it shows some discrepancies. Wilson : Give me some examples of those contradictions to which you refer. Chirri : Take the following examples: “Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.

God called the light day and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.” Genesis 1:3-5 This statement indicates that the first thing created was the day and night. But we know that day and night would come after the existence of the sun and through its rise and set.

However, verse 14 from the same chapter indicates that the sun was created on the fourth day: “And God said, let there be lights in the firmaments of the heavens to separate the day from the night: and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let there be lights in the firmament of heavens to give light upon the earth, and it was so. And God made the two great 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 heavens to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning.
