According to the Big Bang, the whole universe was initially one big mass. Then there was a Big Bang [explosion] which resulted in the formation of Galaxies. These then divided to form stars, planets, the sun, the moon, etc. The origin of the universe was unique and the probability of it occurring by chance is zero.
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of mass), before we clove them asunder? …” 21:30
Not speaking about the Big Bang Theory? Which is now a acknowledged scientific fact instead of a theory.
Also clearly mentioned in the Qur'an that Allah the Lord of the Worlds is expanding the universe continuously. "We have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it"(51:47).
EMPIRE knows this verse is special but he will stick to his athiesm and make up something clever about it.
All im saying is what kind of signs are you looking for? a flying angel to come down and tell all man "Be Muslim"? this will just convert the world, leaving no test for us, God is testing us, like you get tested in Exams.
See how the smart ones in exams feel confident? you should feel that confident about your faith.
To tell you the truth, athiesm is an excuse to disobey laws, as rebellious as you are, faith will always be in you.
Imagine your self in a crashing plane, what would be your last words?
-Oh science help me! make earth 0 gravity!
or
-Oh God at this time of danger i submit to you (Which would be too late as you wasted your whole life avoiding the creater until your last breath.)
May allah guide all of us here.
Hehe I understood this verse as: He created life and death to test which of us will do good deeds. Which of us will submit to God. The life is as a test which we have to make in which we have to be good people instead of doing as we please, death will end life to enter paradise IF God wills.
If i was told to die now, i would refuse. As i know im not ready, not because "i have a lot to live for" but i want to make up for the sins i've done in my life. my family isn't exactly what i call Muslim, and im trieng to learn Islam as much as possible. and do good deeds.
Prophet mohammed PBUH said: A smile is charity.
I do my best to keep humble and smile at everyone i see, if there Muslim say salamualaikum, i went to Gaza and everytime a Muslim walked past each other it was like "salamualaikum" and smiles everywhere, i couldn't believe there was war there.
But this country [UK] is ...terrible. all who walk past each other screw face each other, like a pack of animals making them self look more powerful, including the Muslims here, this just shows the influence is terrible.
When i hit the age of 25, im OFF to mekkah [Live there forever ].
May allah guide all who are misguided.
Getting to heaven by good works is possibly the worse idea you could have.
Sure it keeps you uneducated idiots in line, but then your religious leaders say "if you do this god will like you."
Then you get into the realm of judging others, deciding the levels of sin and good deeds through humanity, not god.
You still have the people who found god later in life too.
All in all, its a really stupid idea to think works get you into heaven.

Its funny how you just bring this up to reassure yourself so often. If it truly did rely on works, you wouldn't need to keep reminding yourself in every thread because of your unease on whether you are truly good or not.
