Science and islam?

Question

Can Any body give me single fact of science which goes against Quran? i am talking about facts not theory and assumptions so dont give me example of theory of evolution to disprove GOD

Answer 1

Asim Raja,

Is the koran a science document/paper/thesis? It is a collection of rules and utterances of an individual. The koran is very open-ended in the quest of knowledge which is laudable. Its science is at a primitive level, nothing more than what the greek philosophers themselves did not articulate earlier. To go against science, it must first make a faulty speculation. Let us know the science in koran, and we'll show it for its medieval, fascist glory.

Answer 2

One should not be comparing science and Islam. It is a popular thing amongst muslims to do so to "prove" the Quran right...however we should know that it is a very dangerous thing to do. The Quran is the word of God infalliable. However science can be flawed and in fact is changing all the time. So there is no direct comparison of science and Quran and hence your question has no relavence. What purpose would it serve? one cannot mix the profane with the spritual reality.

Muslims contribution to the western world - in art, architecture, astronomy, medicine, science, and learning is the basis of our civilization today .

The early Muslims are credited with inventing distillation and could distil just about anything - from alcohol to perfume. Hygiene is very important in the Muslim world so they invented and manufactured soap - centuries before the West - and hundreds of bathhouses were built throughout Muslim cities. They understood the fundamentals of light and how we see, and gave us the camera obscura. They invented algebra and worked out the angle of the tilt of the earth. They built the first windmill, pioneered the concept of the crank rod, and designed the first ever torpedo.

Muslim creativity also led to the invention of a unique instrument called the astrolabe – it could find the direction of Mecca, tell the time and, with the help of the stars, navigate you across deserts and oceans. But perhaps most important of all they pursued the cause of knowledge, translating and preserving the works of the ancients and building the world's largest libraries – their 'houses of wisdom'.

''...Based on the semantic foundation above, the Holy Qur'an defines Islam as 'ad-deen al-fitrah' (the natural way of life). But what does this exactly mean? It means that Islam denotes a domain in which a natural state of being, a natural system, is already in place. Human beings are born into this pre-existing system. Therefore they are by default part of this system.

Thus, every human being is naturally 'Muslim', they don't become 'Muslims'. This is a very important point. Hence, although today the term 'Islam' carries such a negative connotation all around the world, at an intellectual and epistemological level, it simply denotes the natural order that we all live in.

Every being engages in this system from Day One according to their capacity of being (eg animals, plants or humans). It is when humans violate this natural order, acting in ways that depart from what is natural for himself (eg, indiscriminate killing) that he is outside the fold of Islam. Thus, the grand objective of this 'body of truth' - as Sulaiman coined it - is the preservation of this natural order, to nurture the right social conditions so as to preserve this natural order....''
