Creation in the bible and in the Qur'an?

The Old Testament relates specifically on what God created on each day of Creation. On the first day, God created the heaven and the earth with light and darkness, which is mentioned as the day and the night. This happened even before God created the sun and the moon! On the second day God created the sky and the oceans. On the third day God gave the earth life. Then, in the following days God created the sun and the moon, followed by the fishes and birds and the wild animals, reptiles and cattle. Finally God created man (Genesis, 1). This sequence of the Creation certainly has several scientific problems with it; the most glaring being the account of the creation of plants before the creation of sun, which is contrary with what we know about science today.

The Qur'an- (Big bang theory)

A sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.” 36: 33
There is also absolutely fundamental data concerning the existence of an initial gaseous mass (dukhan) which is unique and whose elements, although at first fused together (ratq) subsequently became separated (fatq).

This is expressed in Sura’ Fussilat:
“Then turned He to the heavens when it was smoke.” 41: 11

And the same is expressed in Sura’ al-Anbiya’:
“Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together [as one unit of creation] before We clove them asunder?” 21: 30

Which one do you think is true, Creation in the Qur'an or bible?
