Mr. Know-it-all this time is more learned than before. Calling together or ripping apart? Inthe process of creation heaven and earth were first apart and are called to come-together [41:11], while 21:31 states that they were originally one piece and then ripped apart.

Without showing any mirror to our let me answer him this time for a change.

The verse of Fussilat(41):11 says that God commanded the heavens and the earth to submitto Him. The command to "come" unto God in this verse is equivalent to such verses as:

Al-Saffat (37):83-84: "And verily, among those who followed his (Noah's) path was Abraham.When he came to his Lord with a pure heart. When he said to his father ..." 

So how exactly did Abraham "Turn" to his Lord? Did he physically turn to Him? This isequivalent to many similar verses in the Bible. For example:

Luke 17:4 "And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him."  

What is meant here by "turning to God"? Does the man turn "left" or does he turn "right"?Which direction should he face from now on? Should he spend the rest of his days facingNorth or South? Is this what the verse means?

Similarly, in Ezekiel 14:6 we read: "Therefore say unto the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Repent, and turn [yourselves] from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations ."  

So which direction should mankind "face" in order to have "turned away their faces" fromtheir "abominations"? In which direction do their "abominations" reside? Are they in the Southand we should face North?

God created the heavens and the earth and then commanded them while they were still in asimple gaseous form ("when it was smoke") to submit to His will either voluntarily or involuntarily so that He would fashion them as He wished. How did He command them andhow did they answer? That is beyond our understanding. Indeed we are told in the Qur'an inAl-Isra(17):44: "The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein glorify Him, and there is not a thing but glorifies His praise, yet you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever-Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving "  

Now, after the heavens and the earth were first created as a "smoke," and after Hecommanded them to submit to his will, and after they submitted to His will, now we are toldthat God extracted from that smoke the features of the heavens and the earth which weknow today. Actually, this is indeed one of the scientific miracles of the Qur'an, as itdescribes issues which are known by astronomers today as being scientific fact. Today,through the development of twentieth century radio telescopes, mankind has actuallyphotographed this process in action and recognizes that planets are created from thecondensation of spiraling celestial "mists."
