Was the universe made from smoke?

Was the universe made from smoke?

41:11 Then (thumma) He directed (Himself) towards the heaven while it was smoke, and He said to it and to the earth, "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said, "We come willingly." 41:12 Then He completed them as seven heavens in two periods and He revealed in each heaven its affair. And We adorned the nearest heaven with lamps and to guard. That is the Decree of the All-Mighty, the All-Knower.

(According to the article “Smoke” in wikipedia, smoke contains gases: “smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted … “; and according to the article “How the early universe cleared away the fog” in “sciencemag(dot)org”, by “Yudhijit Bhattacharjee”, “About 300,000 years after the big bang, the universe was like a smoke-filled chamber from which light could not escape. By the time the universe was a billion years old, the smoke – actually a gas of light-trapping hydrogen – had cleared almost entirely, allowing stars and galaxies to become visible”)(Earth refers to matter, because “planet earth” had not come to existence yet. This is confirmed by Verse 21:30, the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, (before the big bang), and it uses the word “earth” as well; so planet earth came to existence much later within the universe)(In regard to heaven and earth “coming” (41:11), one interpretation is that it refers to accretion: in astrophysics, accretion is the accumulation (“coming”) of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter (“smoke”), in an accretion disk. Galaxies, stars, and planets, are formed by accretion processes (see the article “Accretion (astrophysics)” in wikipedia))(Allah knows best)

41:9 Say, "Do you indeed disbelieve in the One Who created the earth in two periods and you set up rivals with Him? That is the Lord of the worlds." 41:10 And He placed therein firmly-set mountains above it, and He blessed therein, and determined therein its sustenance in four equal periods, for those who ask.

(In regard to the chronology of Verses 41:9-11, Verse 41:10 mentions “Therein” (fiha), “it” and “its”. These words refer to the earth mentioned in Verse 41:9, because they are feminine in Arabic; so, Verse 41:9 refers to planet earth. This is also confirmed by Verses 15:19-22, because mountains are mentioned, and the sustenance is described and addressed to mankind)(“wa” (and) does not specify order or timing, so it starts a non-chronological sentence; so, only the last sentence in Verse 41:10, saying “and determined therein its sustenance in four equal periods”, is linked to Verse 41:11, because Verse 41:11 starts with “Thumma” (then) which indicates order; so the determination/plot of sustenance is previous to the formation of planet earth. The sentences, other than the last one in verse 41:10, are non-chronological, then Verses 41:9-10 do not say that planet earth and its mountains already existed before the coming/formation of planet earth)(Allah knows best)

21:30 Do not see those who disbelieved that the heavens and the earth were a joined entity, then We parted them and We made every living thing from water? Then will they not believe?

(It is interpreted that this Verse refers to the Big Bang, how the universe expanded from a single point. All the matter, energy, and light; were all compacted into a dense point. The universe then expanded)(Allah knows best)
