SYNOPTIC GOSPELS BASED ON MARK, WHO WAS NOT A DISCIPLE OF JESUS (HE FOLLOWED PETER)
Everyone agrees in thinking that Matthew wrote his Gospel using the same sources 
as Mark and Luke. His narration is, as we shall see, different on several 
essential points. In spite of this, Matthew borrowed heavily from Mark's Gospel 
although the latter was not one of Jesus's disciples (O. Culmann).

QUR'AN DESCRIBES THE UNIVERSE IN A WAY CONSISTENT WITH MODERN SCIENCE, AND DOES 
NOT INCLUDE OUTDATED OR INVALID EXPLANATIONS 
the way the Qur'anic text described the organization of the Universe fourteen 
centuries ago...The Qur'an however deals with this subject in depth. What it 
describes is important, but so is what it does not contain. It does not in fact 
provide an account of the theories prevalent at the time of the Revelation that 
deal with the organization of the celestial world, theories that science was 
later to show were inaccurate.
