Does the time period estimated for the creation of the universe in the Holy Quran, six days, contradict scientists' estimation of sixteen billion years?
The Qur'an does not state that the age of the universe is six days; rather, Allah mentioned the creation of the heavens and the earth in six days. Nothing is beyond Allah's power, and He does what He wills according to His wisdom. As for the scientists' estimation of the universe's age as mentioned, there is no evidence to support it.
