A shallow reading of Gurbani would make anyone see things the way they wish to see.

Seeker9 ji some comments,
Sat Sri Akal.
Okay although to be entirely honest, I am not in a position that I have sufficient knowledge of the entire Scripture to comment on where it is lacking
As I continue to learn more I will see if that changes
I suppose it could be said then that it will equip you with the tools and techniques to answer questions (note I am avoiding the use of "all") if not directly from the Scripture itself then from within when you meditate and reflect inwards?

seeker9 ji you are a smart man. The lunacy of this thread is so self evident as we see the title,
Claiming goes like this as an example of a person(s) in another religion I know of,
- Scriptures talk about elephants circling the earth, so they knew the science of satellites or geo-stationary orbiting
- Another one, our book determined the speed of light in year 700 AD
- Scriptures tell about travel from one place to another through the air, so they knew Aeronautics
- Such are claims and sometime over zealot Sikhs want to compete and start flagging or acting the same
- Does not make it right for anyone
“From this primal void, came the moon, the sun and the earth.”
''This is wrong - We know that the Earth, Moon, and the Sun need particular elements to form them – they is not pop in to existence, nor were they instantaneously''
What is the primal void? How would you define it? Lets consult a basic dictionary for this. Primal ''Relating to an early stage in evolutionary development''
''Void'' - A completely empty space. So, primal void = ''An empty space in early stage of development''.
This sentence doesn't take into consideration the time frame in which the moon, the sun, and earth were created
There is no such mention that the three were ''instantly created'' as you suggested.
In merely states they were created in what was an empty space.
From this primal void, came the four sources of creation, and the power of speech.”
''Language has emerged out of the social nature of primates that have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years – it was not create''
What are the four sources of creation? You'd be stumped. Let me tell you, Andaj (egg born), Jeraj (womb/placenta), setaj (sweat born), Outbhuj (earth born)
NO mention is made that the language is ''created'' as you have suggested. ''The four sources of creation'' are indepedant from the ''power of speech'' mentioned here (theres a comma presenting them as two separate entities in one sentence) This sentence just tells that speech bettered (''power of'') from once again, what was an empty space.
You created the vast expanse of the Universe with One Word! Hundreds of thousands of rivers began to flow.”
''Water requires hydrogen and oxygen, not available at the beginning of the universe. Oxygen had to be created through the formation of stars. There is no way “rivers” started to flow''
What you're doing is muddling science with what is a core belief. You know, giving how powerful and almightly the lord is, it can be said that ''one word'' was suffice to offset the ''hydrogen and oxygen'' interplay you're taking about to cause the rivers to flow. Sadly, neither of us can really comment on that except the lord himself.
“The limits of the created universe cannot be perceived. Its limits here and beyond cannot be perceived. Many struggle to know His limits, but His limits cannot be found. No one can know these limits.”
''We CAN perceive these expanding limits, in fact we have, and we know that The Universe is 13.7 billion years old with an increasing rate of accuracy''
The following is taken from sri GURU Granth sahib ji:
''kavan so vaylaa vakhat kavan kavan thit kavan vaar.
What was that time, and what was that moment? What was that day, and what was that date?
kavan se rutee maahu kavan jit ho-aa aakaar.
What was that season, and what was that month, when the Universe was created?
vayl na paa-ee-aa pandtee je hovai laykh puraan.
The Pandits, the religious scholars, cannot find that time, even if it is written in the Puraanas.
vakhat na paa-i-o kaadee-aa je likhan laykh kuraan.
That time is not known to the Qazis, who study the Koran.
thit vaar naa jogee jaanai rut maahu naa ko-ee.
The day and the date are not known to the Yogis, nor is the month or the season.
jaa kartaa sirthee ka-o saajay aapay jaanai so-ee.
The Creator who created this creation-only He Himself knows.''
No one really knows when the world was created except the one created it. No dating provides definate evidence as to when the world was created and how old it really is. You haven't been living 13.7 billions years to formiddably support that claim. You cannot ascertain the limits with accuracy. Period
“Creating the sun and the moon, He infused His Light into them. He created the night and the day; Wondrous are His miraculous plays.”
''The moon does not emit light, it reflects the light from the sun. We can even demonstrate how it happens''
Once again, no mention is made here that the moon emits light. You're just deluded. Learn to read.
Conclusion: You're just a pipsqueak who likes to take potshots at things you don't have a clue about.

I think claims that Siri Guru Granth Sahib ji is a science manual is false as well. We have plenty of nutcases amongst the Sikh community who make wild claims about the Sri Guru Granth Sahib ji.
I had some lunatic come to my house who said I should not put the four volumes of the Granth Sahib (mine is the Pritam Singh CHahil translated version) together as they will start to give off some sort of power which will be fatal. lol
Now the author above is just refuting such loony's, not the Granth itself.

In SGGS ji one can get the feel that Gurbanee is basically Science of THE WORD
GuROO and Mathematics of GuR JOTi presented in terms words as GuRu-GuR.
It should be interseting to know that what scientists today claim to have found a GOD PARTICLE which is an indivisible element SOURCE and CAUSE of creation of every thing of the universe.The same concept already exists in Gurbanee.
Can anyone imagine how an entuty is being refered in SGGS ji as THE SINGLE WORD
GuROO itsef.? In fact in SGGS ji the reference of the word GuROO is for an indivisble
Element only.This is given as SABADu GuROO.
Thus there is conspicuous similarity between GOD PARTICLE and the concept of SABADu GuROO
The concept ofGuR JOTi is creation from this WORd GuROO as GuRu-GuR.This GuRu -GuR is a compositeEntity as EKANKAAR-OANKAAR (GuR) as CREATOR of the Universe.
Therefore one should try to comprehend the Scientific and Mathematical charateristics of this WORD GuROO then one may have very different views about How SGGS ji is THE GREATEST SCIENTIST OFTHE UNIVERSE THE only SOURCE AND CAUSE for the
creation of the universe.
I am sure many would not agree to what is being presented here.Since this is an era where there exists the best opportunity to understand the messages of SGGS ji
in a different way which may have been overlooked so far.
These views are based on my understanding from the observation of some visible
concepts.

If on reads the whole shabad you will come across many such verses. It is simply stating that God created the universe and stars and moons planets were formed in what use to be primal void. Even if taken literally it is not wrong.
Seriously? Because you know the universe is 13.7 billion years old you know the limit of universe?
What is the area of universe please? How many planets, suns, moons, comets, asteroids are there? Please tell me the limits of the universe?
This is the tricky one. Well Sikhs believe that every thing in the universe has one light or God's light in it. It is the source of everything that there is. So this quote can be taken in that sense that sun and moon have that light in them.
You see how one can use his imagination to approve or disprove various verses from Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
As mentioned before in this thread you should have read the whole shabad and the verses in context, it would have more sense.

If one can grasp the WAVE CONCEPT OF DIVINE WORDS in Gurbanee then I think one can have ,better,and different understanding about the CREATOR and CTREATIONS
of the universe.
From Gurbanee one can learn that ultimately The Universe and its creations are
some INVISIBLE, SUPER ACTIVE WAVES only.
Thus every thing of the Univese is nothing but A WAVE Only.
Gurbanee messages are ETERNAL and CENT PERSCENT TRUE but every one may not be able to understand this without the grace of SATiGuRu.

The Primal Void is actually the space containing everything.
Similar to how the ''nothingness' is in fact ''everything''
Only to us, can this be described as a void, because infact it is NOT an empty Void, this is what we see or don't see!!!
Wherever there is a void, it is indeed NOT that, that is just what we think we see or don't see !!

Here's a video I'd like to share that will explain further.
This simulations follows the formation of a galaxy like our own. It assumes a Cold Dark Matter Universe. The movie shows the distribution of gas ...
The Formation of a Milky Way like Galaxy - YouTube
Matter...anti-Matter..Void..?? imho there more "Void" than matter in the Universe..are those vast "empty" spaces between stars, galaxies really empty ?? in empty as we know empty ??
Is black hole Empty ?? Primal Void..is a English Word...translated word...Sunn is the Original...There was even a Black Hole of calcutta and it wasnt empty !! Lots of assumptions..and Lots of "primal Void" ADDED even wheres NONE mentioned in the Original. Guru nanak Ji didnt have the U-Tube and Modern Camera/photoshop/Nasa super computers to churn out VIDEOS like we can...Guru Ji only had WORDS.....to create the PICTURE in our MINDS that HE wanted us to SEE....and just as each person sees the Nasa Videos simulation videos on Utube differently...so does each reader of the words...there is NO UNIVERSAL EXACT SAME WORD PICTURE that everyone sees the same way...The One and ONLY BOTTOMLINE IS..as our Knowledge develops..grows..we UNDERSTAND GURBANI BETTER..we IMAGINE better..we "SEE" more and more what GURU NANAK ji saw and attempts to show us...a simple matter like explaining Quantum Physiscs to an aboriginal fresh out of the Amazon Jungle in sign language and gestures....is what GURU NANAK Ji faced...thats WHY Guru ji even DISCARDED all the known SCRIPTS,Vocabulary, language use, CONCEPTS etc ...simply because THOSE FAILED to address ADEQUATELY what He wanted to put across to US...but working BACKWARDS..with all the Computers and Nasa Pictures simulations etc we NOW have....we can RECONCILE the WORDS of Gurbani...and we see that they FIT PERFECTLY !!!...and we exclaim..HEY..what the computer simulations shows about Galaxies formations black holes is part of what Guru nanak ji was talking about 550 years ago....using ONLY WORDS and PAPER.

Guru nanak Ji didnt have the U-Tube and Modern Camera/photoshop/Nasa super computers to churn out VIDEOS like we can...Guru Ji only had WORDS.....to create the PICTURE in our MINDS that HE wanted us to SEE....and just as each person sees the Nasa Videos simulation videos on Utube differently...so does each reader of the words...there is NO UNIVERSAL EXACT SAME WORD PICTURE that everyone sees the same way...The One and ONLY BOTTOMLINE IS..as our Knowledge develops..grows..we UNDERSTAND GURBANI BETTER..we IMAGINE better..we "SEE" more and more what GURU NANAK ji saw and attempts to show us...a simple matter like explaining Quantum Physiscs to an aboriginal fresh out of the Amazon Jungle in sign language and gestures....is what GURU NANAK Ji faced...thats WHY Guru ji even DISCARDED all the known SCRIPTS,Vocabulary, language use, CONCEPTS etc ...simply because THOSE FAILED to address ADEQUATELY what He wanted to put across to US...but working BACKWARDS..with all the Computers and Nasa Pictures simulations etc we NOW have....we can RECONCILE the WORDS of Gurbani...and we see that they FIT PERFECTLY !!!...and we exclaim..HEY..what the computer simulations shows about Galaxies formations black holes is part of what Guru nanak ji was talking about 550 years ago....using ONLY WORDS and PAPER.

Guru Granth Sahib states: <cut single tuk per Terms of Service-Ishna>
SGGS p1037
Regarding the above... the OP is refuting it. But it's scientifically proven.
First of all the primal void is not simply outer space. Outer space contains *stuff* therefore it is NOT a void at all. The Primal Void is that which existed prior to creation. Formless NIRGUN - from which space AND time manifested in SARGUN form. Space, or spatiality, indicates form (x axis, y axis... 3 dimensional) therefore it is NOT the void being spoken of.
Out of the primal Void... ie: Nirgun (formlessness) in which everything is ONE - Akal Purakh, everything was manifested as Sargun reflection of the Nirgun formless Akal.
Now to the science. ALL things are made of particles, made of atoms, which are 99.9999% empty space. And what's left are electrons and a nucleus of protons and neutrons. These all break down into quarks then gluons etc. So essentially electrons and quarks (which are the smallest directly observable particles but may break down further). Through experiments they have shown that these basic subatomic particles, pop into and out of existence... seemingly randomly. They are non local. They are never hard wired into existence. Electrons can behave either as a wave (which itself is not a *thing* but instead energy travelling through something else) or a particle, depending on whether or not there is a conscious observer. The simple act of having an observer directed the outcome, and it was reproducable EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Why is this important? The Sun, the moon, the earth, the stars are all made of the same *stuff*. And they all reduce to the same basic subatomic particles.
So it's truth. From the primal void (Nirgun formless state - as we seen with the electrons above) manifests Sargun, form which makes up the planets, the sun, the moon etc.

Also, can you clarify when you say that everything was one in Nirgun, as a "thing" would be Sargun, wouldn't it? Genuinely curious, thank you.

Well, it's more a lack for vocabulary because every way we can try to explain something we must use terms which give us physical references...
Think of Nirgun as formless (no space, no time, unchanging, everything is ONE) Not One as in a 'thing' but ONEness. We are told in Gurbani that this is the nature of Akal Purakh... ONEness. No separation. As soon as you have anything separate from this ONE, you have Sargun - Form.
But ONEness does not mean it is nothing. It's just formless... its like a computer game sitting on a disc. All of the information is there, all at once, unchanging. (not the physical disc but the information... again I am trying to use reference points we can at least grasp the concept) while Sargun is within the game world.
And yes Gurbani says, Creation was born of the light, and the light is in the creation.
If Nirgun Akal is the Light, and Nirgun = formless, ONEness, then consciousness can be used to explain it. At least as a reference point for us from this vantage point. Our own consciousness can never be quantified as taking up 'space' It's the subjective internal experience it has not form... but yet, within our dreams we can create form. Hence why I tried to use the comparison to a dream in the post about Maya.
So, the conscious creative energy which is formless, and exists beyond Sargun / form, also pervades all of Creation.... consciousness is not merely an emergent property (as shown by the double slit experiment, a conscious observer is required for matter to even manifest at all - scary as that sounds) so if it were merely an emergent property, then what consciousness existed to observe our own bodies / brains into existence??
I really only need a few lines of the following shabad but following rules... I am not sure where the shabad actually ends lol. So I just copied the whole page... and its too much to go through I usually take the second lines out but it is too much work to do with this much text. Anyway... this is why I don't like posintg this much material at once because I can't really refer to the part I wanted to...
