Wow what a masterpiece of reasoning…
If he said that 'earlier physicists [or people having knowledge of physical sciences of certain time.] thought that ‘Earth is stationary’. How does that become his own belief? What a dimwit…
He(as) was saying that
the knowledge we get from Allah is always true but this is not the case with sciences. If a certain principle/law [provided by the scientists] is accepted today, doesn’t mean that it will not change with further research. So we shouldn’t take sciences of certain era as perfect and treat them as word of Allah.
Human knowledge is limited and humans may not be able to fully understand the true science/reasoning behind everything in the universe.
and why he said that. he said:
It is not wise to reject miracles just on this basis that ‘We haven’t seen such a thing ever happening before’.
i.e.,
**It is not wise to make contemporary scientific laws or ideas as standard for understanding the nature of miracles. Humans may not fathom the actual functioning /reasoning /knowledge of all the things in nature.
**
Aristotle, Plato and most physicists[theorists or otherwise] before Copernicus believed that Earth is at the center of universe and is stationary.
Did he(as) mention laboratory experiments? You had enough of twisting turnings and deceiving . Stop it now.
Aristotle
Read this article. Aristotle did experiments/observations fit for his time to prove his point.
