Quran AND Science

The reason why the fifteen billion years that elapsed from the moment

the universe was created until the creation of man was made clear by

time’s relativity. In a different context, fifteen billion years may be

conceived as one minute or even less. The length of its duration

depends on our perception and standpoint.

Scientists, based on the most recent and accurate calculations,

assert that approximately fifteen billion years have elapsed since the

creation of the universe until this very moment. Is there anyone who

feels tired of waiting for eons? The evident answer being in the negative,

the time the departed will have to wait as from their decease until

resurrection will not cause anxiety in them. Comprehension of time’s

relativity renders possible the solution of many problems believed to

be beyond the grasp of the intellect.
