Re: news clipping showing science proving islam is the best

The nature of the Qur’an is not scientific, but where there’s a basis that cannot be taken other than in a scientific way then it should be accepted. Belief in the unseen not only constitutes belief in what cannot physically be seen, but also belief in something being true when it escapes our understanding.
Muslims try to muster as much as we can to understand, and the rest we put to trust … There are many things we take as normal these days, but in those times they were not seen and may be never questioned.
For example the language in the Qur’an makes it clear that humans can escape the boundaries of the Earth … However, we probably never realised this for all those centuries until a point in time came when people went to space … And then reading those passages again with a fresh modern mind with modern experiences the Words altogether gain another meaning … And this is where the miracle comes in … That new meaning is just a relevant to us as the old one has been to the previous generations …
We don’t inspect science in to the Qur’an, but we realise that Qur’an strikes scientific chords often after the scientific discovery is made and not before …
There is a statement in the Qur’an about a lying forelock … Forelock is the region on the hairline above the forehead … Physically in the brain this region touching the forelock is also for where the lying centre is … Brain Mapping of Deception and Truth Telling about an Ecologically Valid Situation: Functional MR Imaging and Polygraph Investigation
Now this was not science in the Qur’an … But at the same time it is quite difficult to fault the Qur’an using established science.
