The question often arises: "Why does the Holy Quran state that the Earth was created first and then the seven heavens?" This writing aims to explore this topic, which necessitates discussing the stages of the Earth's creation . 1-The Beginning of the Earth: Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, the Earth formed from raw materials transferred from dead stars and meteorites. Initially, the Earth was hot and molten, lacking a suitable atmosphere . 2-Meteorites and Organic Materials: During this period, meteorites and comets brought various materials, including water, gases, and organic substances (such as amino acids) to Earth. These organic materials were likely key factors in forming life on Earth . 3-The Emergence of Primitive Life (Cyanobacteria ): About 3.8 billion years ago, the first cyanobacteria began to multiply. These single-celled organisms were capable of harnessing sunlight and performing photosynthesis. In this process, these bacteria converted carbon ...
Using NASA's "Pleiades" supercomputer, scientists have discovered a new spiral structure at the edge of the solar system. Spirals are a recurring theme in astronomy, with the Milky Way being the most famous example. This spiral comprises billions of icy bodies surrounded by a cometary shell called Oort Cloud. Although the Oort Cloud is hidden at the edge of our planetary system and spans nearly 99,000 times the distance between Earth and the Sun, scientists have not had much information about its structure until now. However, these findings provide important information regarding this structure. Luke Dones, a senior scientist at the Southwest Research Institute, announced that some comets in the inner Oort Cloud, located between 1,000 to 10,000 astronomical units away, form a stable spiral structure. He added, "We were completely astonished. Spirals can be observed in Saturn's rings, disks around young stars, and galaxies. It seems that the universe has an affi...
