Similar to Theistic realism and the stance of modernist Islamic scholars, Ahmadis adopt a scientific cosmological approach to explaining the formation of universe initiated from the Big Bang and highlight how these theories relate with Quranic scripture.
Some of the following verses for example, illustrate how certain aspects of modern scientific theory correspond with religious scripture:
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together,
then We clove them asunder and We created every living thing out of the water.
Will they not then believe?”
(Big Bang Theory and the origin of life from water)
"Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke,
and said unto it and unto the earth:
Come both of you, willingly or loth.
They said: We come, obedient."
(The Earth from Nebulae. )
“On the day when We will roll up heaven like the
rolling up of the scroll for writings,
as We originated the first creation, (so) We
shall reproduce it; a promise (binding on Us);
surely We will bring it about.”
(Big crunch Theory)
Ahmadi's also explain these verses were written over 1400 years ago – long before mankind had reached any level of scientific insight. Thus modern science has recently uncovered proofs about the universe which contend with these verses, so this is indication that the verses were revealed from the God that created the universe.
