From here, the mention of the evidences of the Day of Judgment begins again. Thus, from Ayah (27) to (33), Allah Almighty has mentioned several of His magnificent creations, that for a Lord possessing such powers, what difficulty could there be in resurrecting you again?

27. Is your creation more difficult or that of the heaven? He (Allah) constructed it [19].

[19] After briefly mentioning the story of Pharaoh, the main subject—belief in the Hereafter—is now being returned to, and the disbelievers are being asked: Is it more difficult to bring this universe into existence, or to create you for the first or second time? Here, the word "samaa" is used, which can mean the sky or the entire higher realm.
