If a scientist uses science to make a discovery, but he happens to be Muslim, does Allah get credit?

Question

I'll believe that Allah, God, or Vishnu deserve credit for scientific advancements when we scientists can stop actually collecting data and just go to church & pray for new discoveries.


If the discovery was made using science, then science get the credit.
If the discovery was made using prayer, then your god gets the credit.

Fair enough?

Answer 1

i agree 100%

Answer 2

The Prophet of Islam had taught that we should study nature, so we can get closer to the Creator who made it. There is inherently no conflict between science and religion if both fields are approached logically.

Labels of Allah/God/Vishnu and such can become the means to discriminate by the narrow-minded, as the ANCIENT ONE is older than the oldest human being, thus older than the creation of language itself. So, ANY WORD that describes the Undescribable One falls short of its job of showing who a word is talking about. Mother is the mother, regardless of whether the children call her Maa, Mom, Mum, Mummy or the littlest guy who can not formulate words yet, and makes some noise to attract the source of all love to him so his needs are met by the Mother!!

I AM WHO IAM is one very good description of the MOST HIGH, for only He Almighty knows who he is and no one else does. Similarly Allah or THE GOD is another description of an entity who is indescribable.

I agree with you that scientists should acquire some spiritual schoolling so they can define time and space a bit better than they do to this day and the religious and spiritual folks need to marvel more at the Artwork of our Common Creator!!

Thanks for your question!

Answer 3

The only problem with your "prayer" assertion is that some higher power gets credit when prayers are answered, but no blame when they aren't.

If I pray for a green light 100 times and I get one 10 times, I'm well within stastical probability.

What I really should be doing is cursing about the 90 red lights.

Answer 4

Seems fair. One thing , though. Is the scientist a believer in Allah, or God, or Vishnu? I've heard that this occasionally happens. He may credit his god of choice for helping him make the discovery. What then?

Answer 5

1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause
2. The universe began to exist
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause.

Because most cosmologists agree that not only Matter and Energy, but Time and Space itself came into being at the Big Bang, this cause must also itself be uncaused (because the beginning of time assures there cannot be an infinite series of past events), timeless (since this cause exists outside of time), changeless, immaterial, and capable of free will (since physics did not exist to have made the beginning of the universe necessary). It also must be a being of immense power to bring the beginning of the universe about.

Remarkably, these features closely resemble the sort of being predicted in Judeo-Christian tradition.

Answer 6

is that it is unquestionably an advert for watchtower? technological expertise and faith do not probable have plenty in uncomplicated. some scientists usually sense that the way we've actual regulations which could clarify plenty approximately certainty that it form of feels there's a God, or a minimum of a few layout, nevertheless many nicely known that this does not ought to be genuine. some scientists have faith that nature may be so merciless and mechanistic, that that's confusing to have faith there's a God. in spite of the undeniable fact that, technological expertise and faith quite have little in uncomplicated. technological expertise is a ability, and it in hassle-free terms includes issues for which we've significant information. technological expertise has not at all shown there to be a God, and that i've got faith not at all will. in spite of the undeniable fact that, this does not recommend spirituality isn't real - that is in hassle-free terms a various sphere of theory. regrettably, while non secular human beings attempt to 'tutor' it with technological expertise, they forever embarass themselves.

Answer 7

As to recognition and support for education Saddam who at one time claimed to be an Aetheist then to improve support became a Muslim would send people to get educated in other countries for things he desired like nuclear energy and biochemistry. I never saw any of them sending God for what these scientists showed they were capable of such that Saddam invested money and time into their education. Some left and never went back for some reason when he sent them to college..go figure that one from all angles.

Answer 8

Yep. Imagine being on his credit plan.

Answer 10

Wouldn't you prefer that your 'master' got the credit? After all, he is the 'lord of deception'. You can feign denial all you want. We know better, don't we?
