Hi,
I am not a physicist but have interest in it,
specially when someone talks about Quran
and Science.
My understanding about the religion and modern
science specially as it developed in the
Christian West on the building blocks that
Muslim Scientists left, took a different
approach to religion and there is reason for
that and here is the reason.
Since the previous scriptures did not remain
intact, the perfect word of God was only made
imperfect by human interpolation and when that
human interpolation presented as word of God is
examined by impartial critical scientists they
found a lot of inconsistencies between the
scripture and the modern proven science (I am
not talking about still to be validated theories
of Science). So the scientist who developed in
the West only knew religion in Non-Islamic terms
and developed a kind of aversion for religion.
They however remain completely unaware of Quran
where not only nothing can be proven against the
modern science but there are even pointers
towards different scientific discoveries to be
made, please refer to Surah 65 Talaq Ayah 12,
the last ayah.
Allah
it is who hath created seven heavens, and of the
earth the
like thereof.
The commandment cometh
down among them slowly, that ye may know that
Allah is Able to do all things, and that Allah
surroundeth all things in knowledge. (12)
A clear indication that we will (human beings)
will someday find another place like the Earth,
obviously it will require space exploration. Can
someone even imagine the concept of space
exploration 1400 year before our time ! Point to
note here is that, the West started advancing in
Science and making Scientific discoveries when
they separated religion from their public and
academic life. On the other hand when Muslims
separated their lives from their religion they
started moving away from all kinds of scientific
discoveries.
Frank J Tipler, who is a Physicist of recent
time. His book "Physics of Immortality" is
something of interest to read for those who are
interested in this subject. This book is easily
available on internet.
Thanks.
