Holy Quran is in total agreement with modern scientific data? Can you prove other wise?

Throughout ages, mankind has undergone numerous changes, and passing through repeated stages of development and growth, it has attained a more comprehensive awareness of the mysteries of creation. Nonetheless, the Quran has at all times retained its proud and dignified presence on the stage of human history and scientific discoveries. Dr. Maurice Bucaille, the French scientist, writes as follows: “A crucial fact is that the Quran, while inviting us to cultivate science, itself contains many observations on natural phenomena and includes explanatory details which are seen to be in total agreement with modern scientific data...... “These scientific considerations, which are very specific to the Quran, greatly surprised me first. Up until then, I had not thought it possible for one to find so many statements in a text compiled more than thirteen centuries ago referring to extremely diverse subjects and all of them totally in keeping with modern scientific knowledge. ..... A thorough linguistic knowledge is not in itself sufficient to understand these verses from the Quran. What is needed along with this is a highly diversified knowledge of Science. ..... The hypothesis advanced by those who see Muhammad as the author of Quran is quite untenable. How could a man, from being illiterate, become the most important author, in terms of literary merit, in the whole of Arabic literature? How could he then pronounce truths of a scientific nature that no other human being could possibly have developed at the time, and all this without once making the slightest error in his pronouncements on the subject? “The ideas in this study are developed from a purely scientific point of view. They lead to the conclusion that it is inconceivable from a human being living in the seventh century A.D. To have made statements in the Quran on a great variety of subjects that do not belong to his period and for them to be in keeping with what was to be known only centuries later. For me, there can be no human explanation to the Quran”. Every scientist and researcher is liable to change from time to time, his attitude to scientific topics under investigation and the opinions he bases on them. Relying on the knowledge and conclusions he has accumulated, he may express a certain opinion on a given topic at one time and later repudiate that opinion in the light of continuing and more extensive research and the solution of certain problems. However, as regards to Quran, although it was revealed over a period of twenty three years, it is completely uniform and lacking in contradiction. The uniformity, unity and the consistency of the ideas in the Quran signify its coming from the Unique One, Allah (swt). Quran says: “Do they not reflect on the Quran? If this book were from other than GOD, they would certainly find much variation and contradiction in it”. (4:82)

Yes, I can prove otherwise. And it's nice of you not to show any examples whatsoever. # Humans created from a single man. 4: 1 # Homosexual acts are condemned as unnatural.

Does this mean that according to the Quran there are eleven planets in our solar system? 12:4 # The sun rises and sets at particular places on a flat earth. At the westernmost point on earth, the sun sets in a muddy spring. 18:86, 90 # Most scholars consider Dhu'l-Qarneyn ("The Two-Horned Lord") to be Alexander the Great, who is here presented as a devout Muslim. 18:83-98 # The Pharaoh threatens to crucify Hebrews on palm tress.

(See 2:65-66) 4:47 # If the Quran was not from Allah its critics would find some mistakes in it. 4:82 # Allah will also cause them to cut the catttle's ears and change Allah's creation. (This is interpreted to mean that Muslim men must not shave their beards, and Muslim women must not pluck their eyebrows.) 4:119 # Jesus was not crucified.

They will win easily, because disbelievers are without intelligence. 8:65 # "The Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah." (Where and when did any Jew ever say that?) 9:30 # "They have taken as lords ... their rabbis and their monks." Jews and Christians consider rabbis and monks to be partners with God? How do Muslims treat Muhammad? 9:31 # Invisible armies! Allah supported Muhammad with armies that no one else could see. 9:40 # The Quran is so perfect it could never be invented.

But here they eat from "the tree of immortality and power" -- yet they don't become immortal or powerful, they become ashamed of their nakedness. Why? 20:120-1 # Allah gave judgment and knowledge to Lot. He was a righteous man. (Genesis 19:7-38) 21:75 # Every person alive at the time of the flood was evil.

[Genesis (7:11) says he was only 600.] 29:14 # Lot is among the righteous. 29:26-27 # Allah offered the heavens, earth, and hills the the duty of worshiping him, but they were afraid and refused. So humans got the job instead. 33:72 # Allah gave Solomon some of the jinn to work for him. 34:12 # Everyone followed Satan except for a group of true believers. 34:20 # Those who worshipped the jinn will taste the doom of the Fire. 34:41 # The devil is real.

theres some lint in my navel.
Great avatar! It is a book written by men-simple as that. It has no relevance to modern life, as do no religious books. I dnm't read any of them and don't murder, kill. rape etc I am also aware that one day I will be dead...ahh that's what you are worried about..
Your question only quotes someone saying there is overwhelming genius in the Koran, without any examples of the advanced science. p.s. you don't have to be literate to have brains
Wow your "proof" is amazing. I like the part where you don't provide any facts to back up your little claim. Oh and I think the forst person that answered pretty much blew your little claim out of the water.
Islam is a religion that thrives on the arrogant assumption that it is the most logical, the most scientific and the most perfect religion. While the fact is that it is the stupidest doctrine — the most backward and absurd belief.
Why didn't Einstein use the koran for scientific answers.
Normally, I use vacation days to just relax, but sometimes I go away on vacation. Oh, wait, that does not make any sense? Maybe because this is NOT A QUESTION. Next time post a question, if we want Muslim Proselytizing, I will go to a Muslim web-site. Peace!
Any religious book claims it. If I list what is in the Bible this might not have enough space. However, I believe the chosen are gifted to for told the future. it's just matter where denomination you belong. But honestly, they mostly talk about same thing, only in different languages and form of illustrations. It just boil down to, "If how the words gets to you, as words in holy scriptures, talk to you personally and not literally". But of course in able to read it you should be literate or at least have someone you really trust read it to you.
Yes the Quran is full of science, but those who will not read it will never know "We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and INSIDE THEIR SELVES, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth. Is it not sufficient as regards your Lord that He is a witness over all things? (The Noble Quran, 41:53)" A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants of the "smoke" that was the origin of the whole universe. Allah Almighty said: "Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...(The Noble Quran, 41:11)" Only Islam claims that the universe was originated from Dust and Hot Gas, or Smoke click here to see more http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/scientific_27.html
I can't go pick mine up right now, but isn't there something about sperm coming from the lower back? That's not scientifically accurate. Still, I don't dispute that the Qur'an is from God, just that God didn't reveal all science to us at that time... I don't believe that the Qur'an is meant to be taken 100% literally, personally.
