"Have those who do not believe not seen that the skies/heavens and the earth were one? (as one unit) Then we separated them, and made every living thing out of water. Will they then not believe?"
أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

- All of the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were part of the Sun, they are 'children' of the Sun. (Pluto's no longer that important... [link])
- There are scientific theories about how Sun 'created' these celestial beings. One attempt was the nebular hypothesis [link] originated by the Germl philosopher Kant in the 18th Century. He and others supported that the current planetary system condensed from a huge mass of hot gas = a nebula. As it shrank it left rings behind which condensed into planets.
- Contemporary astronomers have rejected this view [link].
- Professor Chamberlain and Moulton of the University of Chicago in early 1900 developed another idea called the planetesimal theory. [link] This stated that the mass of the Sun ejected clouds of matter called planetesimals; the larger chunks of these gathered together by gravity and formed planets.
- Sir James Jeans proposed a tidal theory that suggested that a fast moving star passed our sun and draw out 'streamers' which compacted into planets. Another British astronomer, Harold Jeffreys, suggested an actual collision between the sun and the passing star. [link]
- Whatever individuals find with developing technology, discuss and theorise, the fact remains that Allah created our Earth by 'throwing it off' from the sun, and not condensing it:
"By the Earth and Him who extended it"
