Bible errors vs. Quran Accuracies. Earth, sun, stars, moon Scientific miracles of Quran

If we study any topic in Quran versus Bible, we will observe the big differences between both, lets start with Quran and Bible on the description of the stars , moon and the sun

Bible:
Genesis 1:16
God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

It describes both the moon and the Sun in the same way great lights only the moon not as bright as the sun. The verse has also portrayed the stars as an afterthought of sorts does the bible consider the stars to be smaller than and or not as great as the moon and the sun? why hast the same verse described them as great?
Modern devices showed that the sun is a burning masss with interacting atoms in a nuclear interacting to combine and give huge amounts of energy and heat, whereas the moon like earth is a cold object receiving the sun's burning rays and reflects it to earth again.

Quran:
Now let me show u how does the quran describe the sun, the moon ad the stars?

Quran 10:5
"It is He Who made the sun a shining thing and the moon as a light and measured out its (their) stages, that you might know the number of years and the reckoning. Allâh did not create this but in truth. He explains the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for people who have knowledge."
Quran 78:13
"And have made (therein) a shinning lamp (sun)."
Quran 25:61
"Blessed be He Who has placed in the heaven big stars, and has placed therein a great lamp (sun), and a moon giving light"

Quran contains many other accurate details which directly related to facts discovered by modern science. The following verses mention the neutron stars and the black holes,

Quran 86:1-3
1. By the heaven, and At-Târiq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star);
2. And what will make you to know what At-Târiq (night-comer) is?
3. it is the piercing star.
Other verses in quran also mention the black holes

Now lets see how Quran and Bible described earth

Bible:
Psalm 104:5 "He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved."
Job 9:6 "He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble."
Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand."
Psalm 75:3 "When the earth and all its people quake, it is I who hold its pillars firm."

According to these verses of bible, the earth is established ad can never move, etc to prove this point the bible then explains how a revolving sun masses the nightstand the day

Ecclesiastes 1:5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

Joshua 10:12-13
"On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon. So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day."

Quran:
Now does the Quran mention a stationary earth established on its pillars, and a revolving sun making the day and night?

Quran 21:33
"And He it is Who has created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon, each in an orbit floating."

Which means rounded course furthermore, the quran emphasizes that the earth not only rotates but that it also has a direction of rotation, first u should know that the direction of movement of the main cloud masses is always from west to east the main reason why cloud masses are pulled form west to east is the direction in which the earth rotates , as we now know our earth spins from west to east

Quran 27:88
" And you will see the mountains and think them solid, but they shall pass away as the passing away of the clouds. The Work of Allâh, Who perfected all things, verily! He is Well-Acquainted with what you do."

Does the bible ever mention that the earth or any other planet rotates, like the quran does?

Bible and Quran On Shape of the Earth

Bible:
Revelation 7:1
"After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth to prevent any wind from blowing on the land or on the sea or on any tree."
Job 38:13
"That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?"
Matthew 4:8
"Again, the devil take the him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;"
Daniel 4:10
"The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth."

From the bible verses, we conclude that the earth is flat? the earth has edges? the wicked might get shaken off of itand fall off in space?
Lets see what does Quran say about the shape of the earth,

Quran:
The Quran also mentions the different stages of creation verse 21:30 tells us that earth was separated from the universe

Quran 21:30
"Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them? And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"

Another versses teach us that the earth had gone through different stages and shapes since it was first created to become liveable

Quran 80: 26 "And We split the earth in clefts,:
Quran 84:3 "And when the earth is stretched forth",
Quran 91: 6 "And by the earth and Him Who spread it,"
Quran 43:10 "Who has made for you the earth like a bed, and has made for you roads therein, in order that you may find your way,"
Quran 79: 30 "And after that He spread the earth;"
Quran 39: 5 "He has created the heavens and the earth with truth. He makes the night to go in the day and makes the day to go in the night. And He has subjected the sun and the moon. Each running (on a fixed course) for an appointed term. Verily, He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."

The information given in the verse about the day and the night overlapping each other up includes accurate information about the shape of the world, this can be true only if the earth is round
Quran 79:30-31
" And after that He spread the earth; And brought forth therefrom its water and its pasture;"

Quran also tells about the shape of the Earth
Earh is like egg-shape (gesographical) proofed by Quran itself:
Earth is geospherical in shape
The Qur’an mentions the actual shape of the earth in the following verse:
"And we have made the earth egg shaped".
The Holy Qur'an, Chapter 79, Verse 30
The Arabic word Dahaha means egg shaped. It also means an expanse. Dahaha is derived from Duhiya which specifically refers to the egg of an ostrich which is geospherical in shape, exactly like the shape of the earth. And approved by science.
