Re: Scientific validation of religious texts
There is absolutely no harm if these are one off instances. Let me just say that there are 2 friends who go to a hotel to eat. If one friend is made to pay the bill always it is easy to infer that the other friend is just using his friend. If the other friend pays the bill once in a while the relationship seems more equitable.
Similarly if there are instances if any Holy book could claim a scientific discovery before the scientists in white coat make it then it is credible. Otherwise it is just that we are interpreting the Holy book in a manner that is meaningful to the discovery that is made.
