How did Muhammad know this? I think we all know the answer

[mclinkin94]

The Quran says the Universe and the Earth was created in 6 days (Quran: 10:3) and that the Earth was created in 2 days (Quran 41:9).That tell us that according to the Quran the earth should be 1/3 (2/6) the age of the universe.

And now what does science tell us?
-The Earth is 4.54 billion years old
-The Universe is 13.7 billion years old

4.54/13.7 is 1/3. So according to our best estimations the earth is 1/3rd the age of the universe!

ASSALAMUALYKUM.


     Brother excellent finding. This proves that our Quran is absolutely divine. And Christens, Jews, Hindus and Budhist's claims against the Quran are absolutely meaningless and absurd.

  Brother one Question, will the calculation remain the same after 1 or 2 billion years if the earth exists till then? If so, can you please mathematically prove it?

Hello, Good question--I asked this myself when I first found it. NO, the ratio would not always be the same, but I realized it was irrelevant.

[Quran 7.54] And your Lord, Allah, who created the Heavens and the Earth in six days and then settled on the Throne...
Those six days are on the Throne; so the frame of reference for creation is the Throne, not Earth.

[Quran 41.9] Say: "Is it that you deny Him [Allah] who created the Earth in two days?...


Also those two days are on the Throne. The frame of reference for creation is still the Throne, not Earth. When God says that He created the Heavens, Earth and EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN (including you and me) in six days this means that He is referring to the period of existence. Earth has been in existence for 2 days (out of 6).

So according to God's throne-at the time of Muhammad- The universe has been in existence for 6 days and the Earth in 2 days.

The Universe and the Earth were created simultaneously and their process of the creation is still not complete (God says he is still expanding the universe-that means its creation is still having a process-so at the time of Muhammad God's throne experienced 6 days of creation of the universe).

 So this only works for the throne at the time of Muhammad
