Re: Can we define God by the way of science?
I gave the example of Bucaille because his findings are relevant to the thread and he’s the only name I know of who has compared scientific findings to religious texts. I had said in my post that it’s up to the individual to decide if they’re convinced. Even if I had used the reference of a bigger name than Bucaille such as Einstein, it is still up to the individual to decide if they believe in God and what they believe His nature to be.
Now back to your question. Your quip of a rebuttal, Alhumdolillah, makes no difference to my iman. I only gave the example of one scientist, but if you thought “Oh yeah RV, Ima fire back atchya with MANY scientists who believe that your Quran is invalid, so whatchya gonna do now eh?” MashaAllah, it doesn’t make me doubt the validity of the Quran or my faith. My reasons may seem foolish to you and so be it, but even an army of scientists are just limited beings like me. Despite their knowledge about the universe, which isn’t complete, they did not create this universe nor do they control it, they only study it and put forth theories. Also, when faced with a crisis…something wholly out of their control…something their own scientific and medical knowledge cannot resolve…it is in these moments that the atheist, be it a scientist or otherwise, will helplessly cry out, “God, or someone, if you’re out there…please save my child…please save my life, etc etc.” It is during such storms that even the most dheet of of faith rejectors and atheists will forget about their oft-harped argument that “Look at all the suffering, there is no God”…and will suddenly depend on the thing kind called faith which they find so abhorrent and dangerous and ridiculous. So, yeah, while you n your lot may not be impressed by Bucaille, I am not deterred by your army of Quran opposing scientists.
