Asalamyalykum

This question is mainly directed for muslims. Would you, or would you not consider Islam to be a bit more tied in with science and scientific laws than the other faiths (Judaism and Christianity)... I was having a lengthy conversation with a friend of mine, and this question kind of derived from that conversation... what do you think?

The BB/Ev science claims cant b proved & other koran verses shown 2 me r 2 vague 2 prove a claim. Religion doesnt = the truth but many confuse telling the truth (offends many) with hatred. Fatal koran errors: Jesus is the Son of God, died on a cross (only perfect sacrifice 4 our sins) & rose from the dead which the koran denies (some muslims call Him the Messiah but deny His Deity). God of Israel is real but islam's allah isnt - The sons of God r ONLY thru Isaac not Ishmael (the correct statement). Allah is a generic word 4 God but since its mostly used by Islam its association is used by Satan 2 fool those who dont know the real Jesus (why many r confused - i.e. PBUH may seem 2 add respect but its nonsense). Islam's claim that the Bible validates mohammud/islam but the Bible is corrupt is nonsense. Sadly, muslims/others r mislead as they try 2 live by God's Law - punishment = death. No1 can live w/o breaking God's eternal Law = sin (why we need the real Jesus who died 4 our sins).



Only 1 God can occupy infinity & that God is the God of Israel so theres no allah/other gods - only fully provable b/c Jesus Christ is the 1 & only true Son of God & He wasnt speaking out of 2 let alone 1000s of the sides of His mouth (no confusion - God's fixed order of all things Biblical). The qoran distorts/steals from the Bible - devil uses this 2 fool ppl who dont know the real Jesus.



Neither a label (like brother/sister/friend)/title/name, its history, # of members/converts, amount of time it existed nor claims made about them (like persecution) means anything (u can call anything anything). Its whats practiced that makes them either the whole truth or a lie. A dictionary definition doesnt necessarily encompass God's full definition or usage of a word (or His exceptions thereof). I.e. Jesus/all Biblical prophets were never muslims no matter what islam claims (calling a dog god doesnt make it God).



The real Jesus Christ is the only true way 2 salvation (Acts 4:12 - on an individual level) not Islam (God never sent Muhammud - no NEW prophets after Jesus, who cancels out the need 4 "new-teaching" prophets). Islam (man-made religion) has nothing 2 do with knowing God (only obvious 2 those who know the real Jesus Christ). Wrong teaching comes from false prophets, canceling all they claim. When u dont know the real Jesus, accepting His death/resurrection & true position/Biblical teachings, the result is false teachings that kills u & ur offspring - Many ways seem right 2 man but its end = death (u cant worship in truth & in error - error cancels all u teach).



The crux of the problem is many men (having limited knowledge) try 2 know who God is by imposing human limitations 4 understand things 2 God's abilities. Muslims make the mistake of believing the Bible has many errors/rewritten, that the koram is "the" perfect holy book). The Bible is only full of errors if u dont accept Jesus as God's real Son & if ur determined 2 dismiss God's Biblical truth. God will give u what u want in ur heart. Many r determined 2 dismiss God & will b given over 2 their hateful hardened heart. Muslims say the Qu'ran is perfect but it has blatant fatal errors -



Problem is theres many religions/varieties/offshoots. 1 day I realized they cant all b right (ie. theres 1 Bible, why so many interpretations? - II Pet 1:**19-21). Most religions came thru ppl who thought up things 4 a God they/others liked. Some realized religion could b good 2 control the masses/4 other agendas. Religion wont teach u much about God (they cant teach what they dont know). Who knows more about a house the Builder or he who moves in later?



Religions made many fatal mistakes but do u think God is all knowing, fully understanding His purpose 4 Jesus Christ? Many miss this: Jesus is the only 1 in history who said He's "the" way, "the" truth & "the" life (the only true way of life) & NO 1 can know God except thru Jesus (Jn 14:6 - ref Acts 4:12; Jn 5:39; 10:1,7) - means "the" whole truth was complete/finished thru what Jesus taught/did or God doesn't know what He's doing & cant b God. The truth is either fully true (absence of any lie) or its a lie (full truth cant contain a lie).



Either Jesus is the only full truth or theres no actual truth & there4 no God (God would hv 2 know all Jesus was 2 do) - means Jesus is whom He says He is or He's just another false prophet among many, whom should b disregarded. If He's the actual truth then theres no need 4 any NEW teaching. This means any so-called new teaching/other beliefs or from self-proclaimed prophets/teachers r invalid & cant lead u 2 our real God.



***If Jesus came from God as His only Son as stated in the Bible then the Quran (doesnt agree with the Bible), the Book of Mormon (no such thing as "another testament"), JWs (rewrote some Bible verses - New World Translation) & other religions r wrong about Jesus b/c they demote Jesus 2 just a prophet/good man (1 way or another). If Jesus Christ isnt God's Son (false prophet) then the Bible/all others r wrong. We cant hv it 2 ways. Theres only 1 Jesus & there can only b 1 true Gospel (II Cor 11:4; Gal 1:6,9; I Tm 6:3). If Jesus is whom He says He is then Muhammad (muslim follower of Islam), Joseph Smith (Mormon = Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints), Jehovah's Witnesses (JWs = Watchtower, Awake), most Catholics, many Protestants, Ellen White (7th Day Adventists), Mary Baker (Christian Scientists), the moonies (Unification church - Rev Moon), Church of Scientology (Dyanetics - L Ron Hubbard), Buddhism, Hinduism & others presenting other teachings/practices r the false prophets/teachers & should b disregarded. But I can assure u the truth is in the Bible (where Jesus was coming from in everything He did/said).



[Many (see above par.) claim belief in Jesus as the Son of God (but even the devil knows Jesus exists) but having studied the entire Bible (some parts many times) I state with authority that many dont know God or Jesus. If ur foundation of teaching is wrong it cancels out all ur other claims = house built upon sand. Claiming Jesus is the Messiah doesnt mean u know the real Jesus Christ]



Jesus couldnt have done/said all thats in the NT unless He fully knew the entire OT (NT didnt exist when Jesus was here). Jesus couldnt hv known the entire OT unless God sent Him. The Apostles couldnt write the NT unless Jesus allowed them 2 know/remember His purpose (Lk 24:25-27,45). Only God could cause it.



But no matter how much many well-meaning ppl (religious or not) read the Bible they cant find Jesus Christ w/o going directly 2 Jesus thru His Biblical instructions (Jn 5:39; 10:1,7; 3:3,5). God outsmarted man - the Bible is the only 1 that cant b properly understood w/o Jesus (Jn 14:6; II Cor 3:14; Is 29:11-12 - If Jewish ppl cant pierce the veil over the OT w/o Jesus 4 sure all the gentiles cant) - why theres many interpretations/ppl thinking its just fairy tales (Jesus came bearing the sword of division).



God doesnt compromise the truth - if u do u cancel out ur being a follower of the real truth. In turn that cancels ur place in Heaven.

That's only because Islam believes that Muslims are to carry out the wrath of God. So they can explain how to kill the Infidels better than any others. And what is scientific about having virgins after a mass murder or death is the will of their God. Muslims believe the Jews are the keepers of the books of God. So all the things you speak of with Muslims, including "Halal" came out of the Old Testament. There is nothing more scientific about Islam. In fact, Mary the mother of God and the Virgin, is mentioned in the Quran more than the Christian bible. That isn't very scientific, but faithful.

All religions teach that we are here as a result of something magical happening way back in the dreamtime. Belief in magic is pagan and contrary to science which promotes the truth that everything has a natural, logical explanation. Therefore Islam is every bit as pagan as Christianity and Judaism.

Kind of tricky question.

Islam is not a religion of science. It is a religion meant for guidance of humanity. However, it is a religion revealed by God and it is in its original form. So, it does not contradict any of the established fact from science.



On the other hand, Christianity and Judaism have lost its originality it goes against many of the scientific facts.

perhaps, since Islam appeared hundreds of years after the other two, it had the opportunity to be less wrong than them. that hasn't helped muslim countries make much scientific progress in the last couple of hundred years though.



basically it all depends who's in charge. all religions have their fundamentalists, or thought police.

yup. the theory of the big bang is in the Qur'an. now think about it, how can something like that be in a book 1300 years before scientists actually discovered that fact? when u think n regflect on stuff as such u'll know islam's not barbaric or any of that false accusations its getting but rather a very perfect religion. n thats not it, there's a lot more about science in the holy Qur'an then just the big bang. :)

Both the Bible and the Quran were written by primitive men who believed that the Earth was flat and covered by a large solid dome.



All the supposed science in both books is disingenuous hype.

Science is based on OBSERVABLE FACTS not on vague verses of any religious book. Those who find science in religious books are not only intellectually dishonest but also blind to their faith... If we could find Science in religious scriptures then we wouldn't have needed to read science books...Fathers and Imam would have tought us science instead of scientists... Interestingly its only muslims who find science in Quran most of the times. the reason is quite obvious. they want their shaking faith to strengthen by whatever means they can...

Yes, here are some real scientific gems in the quran:





Quran 18:86 “Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: "O Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to treat them with kindness."

http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/018.qmt.html



Quran 20:53 "He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out" http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/020.qmt.html



Quran 67:05 And certainly We have adorned this lower heaven with lamps and We have made these missiles for the Shaitans, and We have prepared for them the chastisement of burning. https://answersrip.com/question/index?qid=20091226151358AAuOrCt

Nope. Still blind faith in something there's no evidence for. That's the exact opposite of science.

Did the Noble Quran 18:86 really say that the sun sets and rises on earth? Its a cheap lie of christians. Here have a detail article. Please click this link http://www.answering-christianity.com/sunrise_sunset.htm



Does the Qur’an say that the Earth is flat? Its the of Christians. "Spread out" never mean Flat. Quran directly says the real shape of earth. Please click this link http://www.ilovezakirnaik.com/misconceptions/b06.htm



Quran 67:5 really a scientific error? Please click this link http://www.answering-christianity.com/shooting_stars_miracle.htm



....



Holy Quran have several Scientific Miraculous.



Big Bang:



"A new start 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" [The Space Atlas, Hearther and Hencest, page 50]



1500 years Ago Allah Almighty says this in Holy Quran:



"Then He(God) turned to the Heaven when it was SMOKE..." [Quran, 41:11]



Only Islam claims that the universe was originated from Dust, and Hot Gas, or Smoke!



Its really interesting to know that the Big Bang Theory suggest that the Universe is still expanding until today, because this is EXACTLY what Allah Almighty also claimed in Holy Quran:



"And the firmament, We constructed with power and skill and and verily WE ARE EXPANDING IT" [Quran, 51:47]



The word "Samaa" was used for "firmament". "Samma" as I mentioned above means either "heaven", or "Universe" depending on how it is used. Certainly, the meaning word "Samma" in Quran 51:47 is "Universe"



So here its mentioned about the Universe.



Note: In Quran God referred Himself as "We" its plural royality.



See >> "verily WE ARE EXPANDING IT(Universe)" [Quran, 51:47]



According to Big Bang Theory and Modern Science the Universe still Expanding! Allah Almighty says it 1500 years ago in Holy Quran!



An important point:



God Almighty says in Quran: "And when the heaven splitteth asunder and becometh ROSY LIKE PAINT" [Quran, 55:37]



The explosion of galaxies are shaped like roses mentioned in Quran and confirmed by modern Science! See the several photo from NASA what showing "Rose-shape" galaxies! Please click this link to see those picture http://www.answering-christianity.com/galaxy_explosion.htm



More proof about Rose-Shape Galaxies Please click this link http://www.answering-christianity.com/paint_in_space_miracle.htm



Allah Almighty says the planets in space rotate and move. Read the following verse:



"It is HE who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) rotate, each other in their celestial spheres" [Quran 21:33 from Yushuf Ali]



"(God is) the one who created the night, the day, the sun and the moon. Each one is traveling in an orbit with its own motion" [Quran, 21:33]



The real shape of earth:



"And the earth, moreover, hath He made egg shaped" [Quran, 79:30 from Rashad Khalifa]



Click this link for check it http://www.submission.org/efarsi/arabic/sura79.html



This verse in Arabic "Waal-arda baAAda thalika Dahaha" [Quran, 79:30]



Here Arabic word "Dahaha" is derived from "Dahhyah" which means "Egg"



The Arabic word for egg here is dahaha which mean an ostrich-egg. The shape of an ostrich-egg resembles the geo-spherical shape of earth.



Thus the Quran correctly describes the shape of the earth, though the prevalent nation when the Quran was written revealed was that the earth flat. So Quran is truth.



Quran says Moonlight is reflected Light:



Science now tell us that the Light of the moon is reflected light. However this fact was mentioned 1500 years ago in Quran!



"Blessed is He Who made Constellations the skies, and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving Light." [Quran, 25:61]



"See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another, And made the moon a (reflecting) light in their midst, and made the sun as a Glorious Lamp?" [Quran, 71:15-16]



"Did you see how Allah created seven heavens, and and above the other, and made in them the moon a light and the sun a Lamp?" [Quran, 78:12-13]



The Quran distinguishes between them by the use of different terms: Light (Noor) for the Moon, and Lamp (Siraaj) for the Sun.



In Arabic word Noor mean: "be revealed, TO RECEIVE LIGHT, to be lighted"



This is clearly mean reflecting to light, because it RECEIVES LIGHT FROM SUN and it is lighted and revealed by it.



"It is He who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon be a light (of beauty)." [Quran, 10:5 from Yushuf Ali]



Why Quran not says moon also a shining glory as like sun? The verse have clear difference between sun and moon lights. This mean He created the sun with its shining light, and the moon with its reflected light.



Now we know moon have no lights and its the reflected light from sun. Quran says same 1500 years ago.



"Do the unbelievers not realize that the heavens and the earth were Joined together, then I clove them asunder and I MADE EVERY LIVING THING OUT OF WATER" [Quran, 21:30]



This is a dramatic affirmation of the modern idea that the origin of life is aquate. Now we know Cytoplasm 95% is water.



Botany:



Progress in botany at the time of Muhammad(pbuh) was not advanced enough in any country for scientists to know that PLANTS HAVE BOTH MALE AND FEMALE parts, Nevertheless, we may read the following in the Quran:



"(God is the one who) sent down rain from the sky and with it brought forth a variety of plants in pairs" [Quran, 20:53]

No. A lot more barbaric perhaps, at least in practice.
