Is teaching the Big Bang theory forbidden (haram), especially with the belief that it contradicts the Qur'anic verse: "Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and the earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] pursuing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds" (Al-A'raf 54)?
