Science and Islam have been fused for a long time, and you can't help the close minded. If an atheist was interested, they could research and read quran and that is all that is needed. You can't prove or disprove a religion. That would make it way to easy. And for the guy that said nope, maybe you could've said why. He wants your opinion. Not a rant or flame or a two word discouragement.

You are referring to the fact that the Qur’an also states that God created the Earth and the Heavens, something also stated by the Bible. You think that having two sources will convince an atheist that it must be true. You are forgetting that an atheist believes that all religious texts were created by man in an attempt to explain the creation of the natural world around them, much like the Greek and Roman myths. Creation myths using a divine creator exist all over the world, from the Japanese to the Native Americans. That such a mythical book exists in Arabia is no big surprise.

No proof of God or Allah is enough for a true atheist, just as no scientific evidence or fossil record is enough for a Christian or Muslim. Why waste time trying to prove something to someone who does not believe as you do, when you could spend it enforcing the faith of those who do? They have the information available, have heard it from the mountaintops and it is not enough to convince them. Just as all the scientific evidence backing evolution doesn't convince you.

I read the section on the formation of the universe. The "scientist's perspective" they provide is an incredibly inaccurate portrayal of the origin of the universe and pretty much sounds like it is worded to fit as closely with the quranic verses as possible.
I stopped after that.
Academic dishonesty = failure.

Not even close. When you can give me a link to an article published in a peer reviewed scientific journal we would have something to talk about. There are hundreds of such journals and if you had real evidence they would fight with each other over the right to publish it.

Proof of what? That anyone can prooftext a scripture to prove anything? There's no more proof of anything there than there is proof that my garden gnome turns into Newt Gingrich during the full moon.

I dont know much about the Quran but in this statement I just read: "Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were fused together, then we separated them" To whom does the "we" refer to?
I thought this was a bogus bunch of crap myself.

Absolutely not.
The usual pile of BS.
Anything written by man is man's invention, as is the concept of there being a god.
All nonsense and merely food for the weak-minded.
ATHEISM - THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE.

they took a bunch of incredibly vague statements from the quran and tried to fit them to scientific findings.
this is funny:
"a day whereof the measure is a thousand years of your reckoning" (Quran 32:5). The Quran also speaks of a day whereof the measure is 50,000 years" (Quran 70:4).
your link points out the quran contradicting itself.

Doesn't the Qur'an also teach that women's hair emits some sort of attracting rays, that must be covered up so as not to affect men?
