And more poor Islamic education from our dear Samer

>Check this verse, Do you know its meaning I will surprise you Quran 51:7

Well let us check it: wa al-smamai' dhati al-habaki

Or and the sky that (has) orbits/paths (as in habak al-nujum or the orbits of the stars and the root is HBK)

Big deal. So what does this have to do with the big bang Mr. ignorant?

Oh and this one is on me: wa al-ardi ba3da dhalika dahaaha (Q79:30)

Do you know what this means? It means that your Allah is saying that the earth that he unstitched from the skies is flat! No wonder that your Allah believed that the skies and earth were a ratq or a piece of stitched cloth and a ratq is flat.

So is the earth flat Mr. ?
