Praise be to Allah who is such that it is not possible to describe the reality of knowledge about Him, since His greatness has restrained the intellects, and therefore they cannot find the way to approach the extremity of His realm. He is Allah, the True, the Manifester of Truth. He is more True and more Manifest than eyes can see. Intellects cannot comprehend Him by fixing limits for Him since in that case to Him would be attributed shape. Imagination cannot catch Him by fixing quantities for Him for in that case to Him would be attributed body. He created creatures without any example, and without the advice of a counsel, or the assistance of a helper. His creation was completed by His command, and bowed to His obedience. It responded (to Him) and did not defy (Him). It obeyed and did not resist.
An example of His delicate production, wonderful creation and deep sagacity which He has shown us is found in these bats which keep hidden in the daylight although daylight reveals everything else, and are mobile in the night although the night shuts up every other living being; and how their eyes get dazzled and cannot make use of the light of the sun so as to be guided in their movements and so as to reach their known places through the direction provided by the sun.
Allah has prevented them from moving in the brightness of the sun and confined them to their places of hiding instead of going out at the time of its shining. Consequently they keep their eyelids down in the day and treat night as a lamp and go with its help in search of their livelihood. The darkness of night does not obstruct their sight nor does the gloom of darkness prevent them from movement. As soon as the sun removes its veil and the light of morning appears, and the rays of its light enter upon the lizards in their holes, the bats pull down their eyelids on their eyes and live on what they had collected in the darkness of the night. Glorified is He who has made the night as day for them to seek livelihood and made the day for rest and stay.
He has given them wings of flesh with which, at the time of need they rise upwards for flying. They look like the ends of ears without feathers or bones. Of course, you can see the veins quite distinctly. They have two wings which are neither too thin so that they get turned in flying, nor too thick so that they prove heavy. When they fly, their young ones hold on to them and seek refuge with them, getting down when they get down and rising up when they rise. The young does not leave them till its limbs become strong, its wings can support it for rising up, and it begins to recognise its places of living and its interest. Glorified is He who creates everything without any previous sample by someone else.

No. But God did tell us to study and extend our knowledge, through out the whole of Proverbs, from chapter 1 to 31. It talks about wisdom, mostly, but also about seeking answers for everything and always extending your knowledge (doing this is basically the same as seeking wisdom because by gaining knowledge, you gain wisdom).
It also says that God is knowledge and there is a passage there that actually says that God is science as well:
Proverbs 3:19-20- By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew.
This means that God knew the science of how stuff works and created the earth with it. ; )
As for studying other things God did not tell us to study, why not? Its the stuff he told us especially not to do, that we should worry about.

When you start studying other religious/philosophical teachings, you reaalize that the god spoken of in the bible is man-made. If there was a creative force that cared what you worshipped, I'm sure they would want you to view different interpretations and worship out of love for your interpretation of god/gods/goddesses, not b/c of blind obedience to someone else's view. Especially not of a concept dreamed up by men who lived thousands of years ago and have nothing in common with you.

technology would not care if there's a God or no longer because of the fact technology and faith learn diverse undertaking count. technology analyze function mutually as faith analyze purpose. The technique of religion is teleology( very final reasons or end purposes) The technique of technology is interrelationships interior the actual international. issues are the way they're considering the fact this is the way it has of course spread out. issues could have been diverse. whilst it is composed of religion such a proof is inadequate. issues have labored out the way they have because of the fact of a grand plan (end purpose) . If technology have been to objective to instruct there's no God then technology could be doing teleology, no longer technology. As I reported formerly that's no longer the technique of technology. in precisely an identical way clever layout isn't technology, that's teleology. to respond to your final question. technology would not instruct how God did it because of the fact function would not place self belief in any supernatural motives. In others words, function may well be defined in terms of what technology can relatively word and theorize approximately those observations. All we are able to assert approximately technology and faith on the 2nd is, in no way the twain shall meet. that's basically how that's on the 2nd.

If God told you not to study some thing than do not study it.
Other wise you may study any thing you want (just remember to not to loose sight of God because of your new knowledge).

It is wrong to do anything that God has told us not to do. The Bible also says that if you feel uncertain of what you are doing is right, then how much more must the Lord feel that what you are doing is not right.

You have free will to study what you wish.
But if God has directed you to one thing, and you turn towards another, it wouldn't make much sense for Him to bless your efforts while ignoring His desire for your life.

I want to be as informed as possible and if it is wrong, then I guess God will tell me when I die.
