Quote:Bismillah Maurice Baucille's "The Bible, The Qur'an, and Science" is also a great read. For those who don't know, he was a French Christian physician who learned Arabic so that he could translate the Qur'an himself and prove that it was full of inconsistencies and lies (nauzobillah!). He ended up converting. B) Bismillah Quote:Maurice Baucille's "The Bible, The Qur'an, and Science" is also a great read.

Honestly, I’m concerned when people take liberties with reading into certain ancient, spiritual texts and presuming there is “science” in those books. There is not. Not to mention, it would give humans no room for any further development. Please don't take this personally but when practitioners of religion try to extend the reach of their holy books beyond the spiritual, it tends toward a backward society. We've got a big old stretch across the center of the U.S. where literal interpretation of their Bible is the norm. It's called the "Bible Belt." The people are backward; they exult in their ignorance of science; they despise education. They think the Bible is the only book they have to read. That's not to say that the spiritual message of holy books is inappropriate, or anything less than positive. But take, for instance, the verses from the Quran that are most often used to shoehorn in on science. They're nonsense. Lamps in heaven, planets as ornaments mountains as “pegs”. That's absurd. It holds back science. It gives reasons to those who would pillory scientific progress without investigating it in anything other than a holy book. Bismillah salam Rugg, I already welcomed u on another thread but let me say it again welcome to the board. Obviously being new to the board, u rushed in making a reply without reading thru the whole thread. <b>"Those are not discoveries, looking from a Quranic perception, since Quran was revealed by Allah Who Is the Creator of all those issues. Those were facts foretold and taught to an illiterate, just as Dan said, 1400 years ago which didnt become known to us till recent eras. ". </b> But Allah Say::"Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to humankind, and the water (rain) which Allah sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed for <b>people of understanding." </b> (Quran 2:164) Your problem is making a premature judgment comparing the Muslim approach and attitude towards Quran with that of the bible. Arent' mountains serve as pegs to earth? from here we can start talking. Quote:Bismillah Well, honestly, the “ <i>mountains serve as pegs to earth </i>”, is demonstrably wrong as is the oft cited “ <i>That mountains have below them roots that extend deep into the earth’s surface and stabilize the earth’s crust </i>”. Mountains do not stabilize the earth's crust, they invariably are the result of plate tectonics which is exactly the <i>opposite </i> of a stable crust. Mountains form where two moving plates collide and buckle-- they have no "roots" and are certainly not “pegs” as they are the crushing and upward thrusting of plates. We sense the illusion of stability because the crust moves slowly and huge sections of it are unaffected directly by the movement. The crust itself is cooled rock floating on magma. If one wants a stable crust, one doesn't live along the plate ridges, where there are our string of mountains shown globally, one lives on the plains, where there are no mountains. Bismillah Rugged, if u desire to read something about Quran, currently Alhamdulelah I m translating a number of articles. But meanwhile u can read on this: http://islamsms.com/en/modules.php?name=New...ewindex&catid=9

Quote:Bismillah As I mentioned before, I've read the Quran. Somehow, I missed your response to my comments refuting the "science" that some claim is in the Quran.

Bismillah salam Rugged Well let me try to re phrase what i already re phrased. Being revealed 1400 years ago when a lot of issues were not yet know to humanity, including for instance the evolution of an embryo, it becomes quite alerting to read such a text given the fact that the book was revealed to an illiterate. I recall a young American revert telling me that when she first read the Quran, when she came to those Ayahs, all she thought was that Mohamed salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam sort of got about 10 pregnant women, opened their wombs and was able somehow to realize those facts. Funny, isnt it? might post it on the smiling thread. :) Later on when those facts became known to humanity thru science, mistakenly people titled those points as science in Quran or discoveries. You made me think about another title. Will keep thinking Insh a Allah. Now the next post is not for u :) so dont tell me I already read Quran. Even if i m offering u to later on read what i m translating, I think u need to give it a try, why not? reading the quran is different from reading articles focusing on certain points. |
