first and foremost before you spew nonsense about anything from any religion you need to understand something: where it came from, how it was written, then you test and validate its claims.
Yup and the same goes for you as well.
The quran is written in arabic for a reason. Arabic is a very linguistic language, one word can have 30 meanings but can only mean what its describing based on its context.
Lol lol lol, what the hell? a very Linguistic Language?
Talking about Linguistic Languages, English is the same, the word Follow & do have 30 meanings as well.
for example the word - messiah in arabic has many meanings and that word linked by the word in front of it and after it will describe which word to use in context so that the reader can say oh yeah messiah means this not this.
Calm ur tits down dude, we ain't doing any translations, we use translations from people like Yusuf Ali, Pickthal, we use Lane's Lexicon and Lisan Ul Arab and I think these people knew very well what they were talking about since they are the most eminent Translators, I highly doubt the fact that u r more qualified then the ones I mentioned.
"And the heaven We built with Our own powers (aydin) and indeed We go on expanding it." (51:48)
This is not what Surah 51 and Ayat 48 say.
This is Surah 51:48 more precisely:
And the earth – We spread it out, and how well have We smoothed it!
What u r talking about is 51:47 mister I know Arabic so well.
(51:47) And heaven – We made it with Our Own Power and We have the Power to do so.
51:47 With power and skill did We construct the Firmament: for it is We Who create the vastness of pace.
The Verse says nothing about Expanding the space, it rather says they are their expanders but the rest of the translations have translated it as VAST EXTENT or simple BIG.
"Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass (ratqan), then We clove them asunder (fataqna)? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?" (21:31)
The notation that the universe is expanding in 650 A.D.? or that the heavens and earth were once connected as one?
The notion that the universe was expanding in 650 AD didn't exist, there is nothing in the Quran that alludes to ir, also the Heavens and the Earth are still connected as one, for more refutations on 21:31 check this link:

? again?
or that everything is made of atoms?
Not everything is made of Atoms, we don't still know what everything is made of, are u trying to say that the Atoms are made of Atoms??? of course not, so no everything is not made of Atoms.
before anyone opens their mouths and judges me, I went to a muslim grammer school for 5 years and graduated from a catholic high school. Ive studied and learned many aspects of all religions.
And u still didn't know if it was 51:47 talking about building the heavens in Vast Extent or 51:48, such a pity.
If u went to an Arabic Grammar school u would know that moosiu'oona is a noun not a Verb the way u said or as presented in ur translation from Asad, check Pickthal, Yusuf Ali and the rest for more Info.
REMEMBER THIS THE QURAN HAS 3 BOOKS IN IT: THE TORAH( OLD TESTAMENT) - THE INGEL (NEW TESTAMENT) - AND THE QURAN ITSELF.
Not really, Muhammad just copied and plagiarized the Torah and the Bible.
BEFORE YOU JUDGE SOMETHING AND MAKE A MOCKERY OUT OF SOMETHING MAKE SURE YOU ARE PRESENTING THE FACTS.
Why don't u take ur own advice for a second ?
IN THE QURAN GOD SAYS HE DOES NOT FORCE RELIGION ON YOU BUT-----THE TRUTH STANDS OUT CLEAR.
Yes yes, the Quran says I don't force u to believe me, if u don't it is all cool man, take it easy just be good LOL of course not the Quran says If u don't believe Allah u will burn in hell for eternity and that is what forcing religion on u means, by definition.
"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (The Noble Quran, 2:256)"
I see u have mastered the craft of Cherry Picking, what about the rest 99% of the Quran which says if u don't believe in Allah u will burn for eternity?
p.s: here is a topic dealing with the Expanding thing, Harakaat was an Arabic Speaker a native one I think:
