From Big Bang to Big Crunch

"How could the writers of the Qur'an 1400 years ago know that when the universe reaches its maximum size we will have Judgment Day?" Well...[T]he best model we have to account for the data we have is that the universe will continue to expand forever. There has never been evidence that suggests we live in a closed universe slated to recollapse in the future. So, your question is answered by saying that ancient writings either got the right answer or the wrong answer. In this instance they 'guessed' incorrectly so there is really no historical mystery to explain. "From Big Bang to Big Crunch" is a document by Istanbul Quran Research Association that purports to show that the Qur'an contains scientific foreknowledge when it "predicted" that the Big Crunch was going to occur. The following is a side-by-side rebuttal.
