peace be on you Gibbs
i know some people take it to be that as that also happened in earth's creation phase, but it is not that, i dont just say it like that but i have done a whole research on the "skiess/heavens and earth" vs "earth and heavens/skies". these both terms are used in this order and they both convey different things.
my conclusion on it is consistent with every "heavens and earth" and "earth and heavens" term in Quran. in background of it i say it refers to formation of solarsystem phase when earth too was forming.
as for last part of your comment, i will start a small topic just for you :-} do go through it brother. i will name it "things are created" it will be in science sextion only.
peace be on you take care.

How do you explain the fact that Greek scientists made so many scientific discoveries before the Prophet received his messages from Allah? For example Aristarchus (310 BCE - 230 BCE), who was a Greek astronomer and mathematician, born on the island of Samos, in Greece. He presented the first known heliocentric model of the solar system, placing the Sun, not the Earth, at the center of the known universe.

rememberallah, I find that you do have a basic grasp of science and even the science of the 7th century.  However, I also find that you have a delusional understanding of what the Quran says.  By the way, "compatible with science" is not some sort of holy grail.  Moby Dick is compatible with science but is an account of fiction.  Maybe you should move away from that mantra.  

@schmikbob - my brother beauty lies in the beholders eye, but some beauty beholds every eye, except that persons eye who hates/dislikes/distrust the one who holds that beauty.    i trust Quran is word of God, there are too many things that took me out of delusion and into reality......but then what is reality........i look inside and find it written allover my heart.   listen to your heart, don't be so overconfident that you know.........i am still willing to consider what Quran asks "have you ever thought if this Quran is really from God or not?"
@matt- and continuing from answer to schmikbob, my brother matt what someone claims about Quran is never an issue for me since the time i decided to be my own teacher. there are as many claims as there ate mouths, Quran says "there claim will be put on record and they will be questioned about it". i will be questioned for what i claim, you for what you and anyone else for what he claims.    i really don't find it strange that you cant see what i can see as i know a billion arguments can't earn guidence and one is enough for one who is guided, do such charity in which you dont get anything in return, i am not asking you anything but that which makes God give guidence, then perhaps you wont even need an argument, you will become one yourself.
peace be on those who do charity in return of which they dont get anything.
