" May I request Dr. Khazeh Fannanapazir and other friends in this forum to
shed some light onto the verse of Quran and the conclusion that this
Egyptian scholar is trying to prove."
Dear Firouz,
Now that my sides have stopped hurting perhaps I can take your question a
little more seriously. I think what our Egyptian 'scholar' has done is
rather typical of some of the differences between Evangelical Christians and
Muslims in their approach to the relationship between science and religion.
Evangelical Christians tend to want to make science fit the scriptures, and
therefore they tend to reject scientific discoveries which contradict
scripture. Muslims, on the other hand, tend to want to read the discoveries
of modern science into the Qur'an often coming up with absurd
interpretations of scripture in the process. I think examples such as this
should serve as a warning about what happens when we don't make a proper
distinction between the different functions science and religion are meant
to serve.
warmest, Susan
