Re: Why does Islam contradicts Science?

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.

very nice and logical reply…
