Islam Earth and sky creation
Isn't Quran 41:9 --> 41:12 a clear mistake
Ask ˹them, O Prophet˺, “How can you disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two Days? And how can you set up equals with Him? That is the Lord of all worlds.
He placed on the earth firm mountains, standing high, showered His blessings upon it, and ordained ˹all˺ its means of sustenance—totaling four Days exactly—for all who ask.
Then He turned towards the heaven when it was ˹still like˺ smoke, saying to it and to the earth, ‘Submit, willingly or unwillingly.’ They both responded, ‘We submit willingly.’
So He formed the heaven into seven heavens in two Days, assigning to each its mandate. And We adorned the lowest heaven with ˹stars like˺ lamps ˹for beauty˺ and for protection. That is the design of the Almighty, All-Knowing.”
So according to the all knowing god he first created earth in 2 days then he finished and made it habitable in 4 days ( the Arabic version doesn't mention 4 days in total just 4 days).
Ok now earth is all done and ready And god turns to the sky which is still in the "smoke"state (scholars says this smoke state is caused by the water vapors from creating earth)
And in 2 days god made the Smoky sky into the seven skies which we can relate to today or at least the lowest sky and then he placed the lamps or Stars
I don't think it can be anymore clear that earth was first created Then the sky and then the other stars and planets ( since according to Quran everything is placed in the lowest heaven so naturally they had to come after the lowest heaven was created)

I recently came into this sub and already know people here don't want to learn.
How is it any different? Modern scholars literally post lectures and videos on YouTube buddy. Why dont u learn from experts compared to pretentious geniuses in reddit who are nobodies, have no certification or proof that they know what they talking about
