To someone else who asked me whether this discussion is relevant. Well as far as I am concerned. for me it is relevant. As I mentioned on my forst post. I want to know what you guys exactly believe on how and why you think. so that I can understand you better. it gives me every right to question any how I want to question and what I want to know from you. it is very diificult for me to look at your religous text objectively which is why i am seeking ur help.
So back to this discussion it's about dinosaurs, mankind and age of the earth? |
Humankind came after dinasaurs became extinct.
You mistranslated verse 70:4 to get that conclusion - How has angels taking 50,000 years to get to him (as a day) equate to creation of universe being 50,000 x 6 days?
Some tafsir on that verse:
((Whereby) the angels and the Spirit) i.e. Gabriel (ascend unto Him) unto Allah (in a Day whereof the span) the span of ascending it for other than the angels (is fifty thousand years) it is also said that this means: it is from Allah that the punishment of the disbelievers comes in a day whose span is 50,000 years; and it is also said that this means: if anyone, other than Allah, were given the reckoning of people, such reckoning would not finish in 50,000 years. - Ibn Abbas
