@Tariq_Akhtar

blindly accepting anything is dangerous as hitler and other dictators have proven at great cost to humanity.

scientists do not start out to debate existence of God. they reason out whatever their observations are to explain phenomenon and where cause effects are established, good things happen to humanity.

I beleive in God but I also believe that most of of what mullahs and hadiths etc say are “requirements” “constraints” and “rules” are just made up …people projecting their own wishes desires and concepts as god given. with a such a vast majority of so called mullahs speaking as god’s spokesmen, why would any honest person become one? just like we have no honest person entering politics (last refuge of scoundrels) or law (2nd last refuge of scoundrels), religious hadith making has become the 3rd worst refuge of scounrels.

And then there is the naive set of people who want to find a parallel in religion for every proven scientific development. Land a man on moon …“oh see hadith 45674 predicted that”…cure for cancer …"sure …see what he said about mixing sand and water to create in-te-rfron!

get a life people

there was a time for dinosaurs then there was a time for fungi.

Sarkar I think you got a bit carried away. I never compare science with religion. There is no good reason to do so. Just because some scientific facts or phenomenon are refered to in the Quran does not mean Quran is a book of science. This is what uneducated mullahs do not emphasize and people follow ridiculous statements en masse about Quran as the book of everything that there can be. Sir you should give some thought about it yourself. Its OK to criticize the jahil mullahs, even I do, but that does not change my perception of reality.

And ahadith are not scientific literature. So again someone who draws such a parallel needs serious education. And one who forms opinions based on such arguments need even more education.

A reason why a select few scientific phenomenon are mentioned in the Quran is only to attest its veracity and micraculous nature. The things mentioned in it could not have been known 1400 years ago. Infact a person who has some good scientific educational background should be astonished how could these things have been mentioned 1400 years ago. Obviously such knowledge could have only flowed from some higher intervention and human knowledge was not advanced enough to deduce such things. And this is all that it is.
