Quran and Modern Science. Read these and you will see that Quran and modern science is in conciliation.
And I created every living thing out of water Quran, 21:30
No human could have known that in the deserts of Arabia where there was scarcity of water.
God then rose turning towards the heaven when it was smoke Quran, 41:11
Do the disbelievers not see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, then I split them apart? Quran, 21:30
According to modern science, the separation process resulted in the formation of multiple worlds, a concept which appears dozens of times in the Quran. For example, look at the first chapter of the Quran, al-Faatihah:( Praise be to God, the Lord of the Worlds. Quran, 1:1 ). These Quranic references are a11 in perfect agreement with modern ideas on the existence of primary nebula (galactic dust), followed by the separation of the elements which resulted in the formation of galaxies and then stars from which the planets were born. Reference is also made in the Quran to an intermediary creation between the heavens and the earth, as seen in chapter al-Furqaan:
God is the one who created the heavens, the earth and what is between them... Quran, 25:59
It would seem that this intermediary creation corresponds to the modern discovery of bridges of matter which are present outside organized astronomical systems.
(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
He coils the night upon the day and the day upon the night. Quran, 39:5
The original meaning of the verb kis to coil a turban around the head. This is a totally valid comparison; yet at the time the Quran was revealed, the astronomical data necessary to make this comparison were unknown. It is not until man landed on the moon and observed the earth spinning on its axis, that the dark half of the globe appeared to wind itself around the light and the light half appeared to wind itself around the dark.
I built the heaven with power and it is I, who am expanding it. Quran,51:47
O assembly of Jinns and men, if you can penetrate the regions of the heavens and the earth, then penetrate them! You will not penetrate them except with authority.
Quran,55:33
Have you not seen that Allah sent rain down from the sky and caused it to penetrate the ground and come forth as springs, then He caused crops of different colors to grow... Quran,39:21
Have We not made the earth an expanse and the mountains stakes?
Quran, 78:6-7
Stakes ( awtaad ), which are driven into the ground like those used to anchor a tent, are the deep foundations of geological folds. Here, as in the case of all the other topics presented, the objective observer cannot fail to notice the absence of any contradiction to modern knowledge.
(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
Today we know that fruit comes from plants that have sexual characteristics even when they come from unfertilized flowers, like bananas, isnt that amazing?! In the chapter ar-Rad we read the following:
... and of all fruits (God) placed (on the earth) two pairs. Quran, 13:3
Verily, in cattle there is a lesson for yon. I give you drink from their insides, coming from a conjunction between the digested contents ( of the intestines ) and the blood, milk pure and pleasant for those who drink it. Quran, 16:66
Verily, I created humankind from a small quantity of mingled fluids. Quran, 76:2
The Arabic word nutfah has been translated as "small quantity. It comes from the verb meaning to dribble, to trickle and is used to describe what remains in the bottom of a bucket which has been emptied. The verse correctly implies that fertilization is performed by only a very small volume of liquid.
On the other hand, mingled fluids ( amshaaj ) has been understood by early commentators to refer to the mixture of male and female discharges. Modern authors have corrected this view and note that the sperm is made up of various components.
When the Quran talks of a fertilizing fluid composed of different components, it also informs us that human progeny will be formed from something extracted from this liquid. This is the meaning of the following verse in chapter as-Sajdah:
Then He made [ mans ] offspring from the essence of a despised fluid.
Quran, 32:8
The Arabic word translated by the term essence is sulaalah which means something extracted, the best part of a thing. In whatever way it is translated, it refers to part of a whole. Under normal conditions, only one single cell, spermatozoon, out of over 50 million ejaculated by a man during sexual intercourse will actually penetrate the ovule.
God fashioned humans from a clinging entity. Quran, 96:2
I fashioned the clinging entity into a chewed lump of flesh and I fashioned the chewed flesh into bones and I clothed the bones with intact flesh. Quran, 23:14
I fashioned (humans) a clinging entity, then into a lump of flesh in proportion and out of proportion. Quran, 22:5.
... and (God) gave you ears, eyes and hearts. Quran, 32:9
Today I will save your dead body so that you may be a sign for those who come after you. Quran, 10:92 (speaks about Pharaoh in Moses time)
So...any comments, or arguments, or are you guys convinced that this is word of God?
