I was told that since the Qur'an says the "heavens and the earth was created in six days" it is a young earther. The proposing evidence was this statement.
As most would already know and repeatedly heard throughout, this verse says "ayyam" which is a dual-plural term for day.
This is many times referred to a period of time, as in when someone speaks of stages. The language here is called majroor case where the noun is changing the meaning of the qualifying word. Thus, it does not mean one day as in 24 hours. This kind of argument is coming from the biblical background where many people thought that creation happened in six X 24 hour days.
Is there any other argument that shows that the Qur'an is a "young earther"?
Cheers.
