**Science is about gathering data and analysing it **… Surat Al-`Ankabut [29:20] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???,
Say, [O Muhammad], “Travel through the land and observe how He began creation. Then Allah will produce the final creation. Indeed Allah , over all things, is competent.”
Surat 'Ali `Imran [3:191] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
Surat Al-Haj [22:46] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
So have they not **traveled through the earth **and have hearts by which to reason and ears by which to hear? For indeed, it is not eyes that are blinded, but blinded are the hearts which are within the breasts.
**Science is about validation and checking: Surat An-Naml [27:27-28] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
**[Solomon] said, “We will see whether you were truthful or were of the liars.”
Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them. Then leave them and see what [answer] they will return."
In fact wherever the Qur’an rebukes humans for not reflecting on the verses or uses the term “people of understanding” it addresses them with an argument that should be addressed with scientific intent.
Next …
**A good scientific theory has a falsification test …
Surat An-Nisa’ [4:82] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
**Then do they not reflect upon the Qur’an? If it had been from [any] other than Allah , they would have found within it much contradiction.
Surat Al-‘Isra’ [17:88] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
Say, “If mankind and the jinn gathered in order to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could not produce the like of it, even if they were to each other assistants.”
Surat Hud [11:13] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
Or do they say, “He invented it”? Say, “Then bring ten surahs like it that have been invented and call upon [for assistance] whomever you can besides Allah , if you should be truthful.”
Surat Al-Baqarah [2:23-24] - The Noble Qur’an - ??? ???
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful.
But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
You say the Qur’an has nothing to do with science … I say the Qur’an tells you how to be scientific … and it may have no resemblence to science, but has everything to do with “reality” … we can’t say the same about science …
