As such, don't you also think that the people associated with science loose their moral right to criticise religion? Whereas, the book on hand attempts at exploring a wide range of the natural phenomena through altogether new and significant Qur'anic insights, which prove to be insightful on many occasions to the science itself. On a personal note, I can say that my faith in science too has been bolstered after reading this amazing amazing book.Tahseen Siddiquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544779026586616691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-74874425648176225502009-11-23T19:44:35.212-05:002009-11-23T19:44:35.212-05:00Tahseen,

I think its a fundamental folly to try to find science in the scripture. Bucaille did a similar thing with The Bible, the Qur'an and Science, and it was a lamentable exercise. Lets not drag science into religion.Salman Hameedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04327330113822656571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-66401785150347046292009-11-22T14:19:48.586-05:002009-11-22T14:19:48.586-05:00Did you happen to read the book “Extraterrestrial ...Did you happen to read the book “Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Amazing New Insights from Qur’an...” that I earlier requested from you, Hameed?Tahseen Siddiquahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544779026586616691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-29035917409184147442009-11-17T20:51:57.237-05:002009-11-17T20:51:57.237-05:00http://shodalap.com/2009/11/15/sign-of-intellectua...http://shodalap.com/2009/11/15/sign-of-intellectual-bankruptcy/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-88657674211667074882009-11-16T13:06:47.335-05:002009-11-16T13:06:47.335-05:00Great to see this conference going ahead, hopefull...Great to see this conference going ahead, hopefully the religous bigots who think all Muslims are anti-evolution will ponder this for thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-17002992504030980722009-11-15T16:09:26.094-05:002009-11-15T16:09:26.094-05:00Hi, am an Egyptian Muslim medical student I had th...Hi, am an Egyptian Muslim medical student I had the chance of attending the Darwin's conference , I really liked all the material presented , Dr's salman Fahem presentation was inspiring & really outstanding.<br /><br /> I have a comment about surveys'results presented by the speakers & indeed the generalized idea, " Islam is against evolution"<br />2 main aspects here : <br />First not all individuals being interviewed have enough information about the issue ,It's not an easy question being posed.<br />Second:being a religious muslim doesnot necessarily mean you are an expert in Islam . You can be religious who prays , fasts & everything but still doesnot know the interpretation of every single word in Qura'an .<br />You can't blame the muslim world depending only upon those surveys<br />when you dont have enough awareness, rejecting becomes way easier than acceptance I guess.Heidi Heshamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17747132070247212651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-49161147543975081442009-11-15T13:43:51.552-05:002009-11-15T13:43:51.552-05:00There has come up a new book entitled “Extraterres...There has come up a new book entitled “Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Amazing New Insights from Qur’an in the Light of its Own True Nature.” It quotes extensively from Qur’an to prove in an extremely amazing and convincing idiom that biological evolution isn’t at all at variance with the true teachings of the Qur’an. The books even goes a step further to show that this sort of evolution is pervading not only terrestrially but on a universal scale too.

What is allowable and what is not? What is the limit of the science research in our society? Is there any struggle between the freedom of knowledge and the restrictions of religion? <<<<<<<<br /><br />Ironically, the "freedom of knowledge" regarding evolution may be greater in Islamic countries than in the United States, where the courts and academia have censored scientific and pseudoscientific criticisms of evolution theory.Larry Fafarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840916980486608228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38085367.post-50714650384950054772009-11-14T00:19:02.474-05:002009-11-14T00:19:02.474-05:00Muslims don't believe in EVOLUTION.
