CONTRADICTION OF SCIENCE

AND RELIGION
There is a fundamental conflict between the religious approach and
scientific approach about nature. In Islam, the total world is a unique
and transcendent reality that has been created only by God has been
operated by him, and one soul attends it.
” and Allah’s is the East and the West. Therefore, wither you turn; thither
is Allah’s purpose” The Holy Quran, chapter: 2.115
compared with views of evolution and homosexuality, religious
variables are not highly correlated with views of global warming that
thinks of another type of specie.
some scientists publicly claim that the most recent research on the
human brain shows that it and it alone is the seat of consciousness and
personhood and that this evidence disproves the existence of a soul or
spirit yet religion talks about otherwise. For example during death the
soul is taken out but the brain remains
In the field of bioethics, public opinion is divided about cloning,
embryonic stem cell research, end-of-life issues, and genetic
testing.(read more on cloning )
Some scientists believe that human and other living beings have
evolved over time due to natural processes such as natural selection.
Religion on the other hand associate creation to God human
descending from Adam and Eve.
See the verses below:
Al-Quran, the main source of the Islamic faith, is a book believed by
Muslims to be of a completely Divine origin. Muslims also believe that it
contains guidance for all mankind. Since the message of the Quran is
believed to be for all times, it should be relevant to every age.
1. The basic statement of Islam is: "There is no god other than Allah"
(Quran: Ch.37 v.35).
2. Everything is created, that is to say given its qualifications, and
directed according to these qualifications by Allah and while He
wants.
"And who makes (things) according to a measure, then directs" (87:3)
"He said who your Lord, Moses is? He answered, Our Lord is He who
giveth all things their qualifications and directed them." (20:49-50)
An atheist probably said: Everything will explain or will be explained
by sciences; so there is no need for a god.
Many of the atheists suggest that we create our gods in our minds.
According to Islam: “The creatures (includes everything) are given by
God, their qualifications (including the physical laws, equations,
formulas [we may be unknowing everything, the real is known by
Allah]) and they are executed and may be changed by Allah when(r)
ever He wants.”
The (atheist) scientist says "The properties (including the above
mentioned laws and so on) of everything are intrinsic to them and
absolute and not subject to change except for any specific conditions
It is important to note that most of the scientists, who laid the basis for
the scientific age, including Boyle, Copernicus, Faraday, Galileo,
Kepler, Maxwell, and Newton, believed in a personal God who
revealed Himself in the Scriptures and answered prayer.
according to Marx (1818-1883),religion is the opiate of the masses,
will inevitably become a thing of the past. He also illustrated that
revolution would be created by the alliance of middle class intellect
and labor.
Marx is saying that the purpose of religion is to create illusoiry
fantasies for the poor. Economic realities prevent them from finding
true happiness in this life
ISLAMIC ATTITUDE TOWARDS SCIENCE
Al-Biruni (973-1048 CE), one of the most celebrated Muslim scientists
of the classical period, held that the Quran does not interfere in the
business of science nor does it infringe on the realm of science.
On the other hand, many contemporary Muslims, both amateurs and
intellectuals, have gone as far as arguing that “Islam is a religion of
science” urging others to explore the Quran for scientific truths which
are now discoverable by Modern science
SCIENTIST BELIEF ABOUT GOD
In recent centuries the world has become increasingly dominated by
empirical evidence and theoretic science in developing worldviews
The universe of space and time is the means by which God has
revealed himself to man,
As discussed above some scientists do not believe in the existence of
God
Some great scientists dismissed God as an unnecessary hypothesis, one
they didn't need to explain how galaxies came to shine or how life
grew so complex. Since the birth of the universe could now be
explained by the laws of physics alone.
The late astronomer and atheist Carl Sagan concluded, there was
""nothing for a Creator to do''
The more deeply scientists see into the secrets of the universe, you'd
expect, the more God would fade away from their hearts and minds.
But that's not the case to some scientists as seen below:
says physicist who turned theologian Robert John Russell says that
theology and science are entering into a new relationship and that
there is a design and purpose behind the universe.
In 1977 Nobel physicist Steven Weinberg of the University of Texas
sounded a famous note of despair: the more the universe has become
comprehensible through cosmology, he wrote, the more it seems
pointless.
After a ten-year study, the famous French physician Maurice Bucaille addressed
the FrenchAcademy of Medicine in 1976, and expressed the complete
agreement of the Quran and findings of modern science.
Decades later, noted embryologist and expert, Keith L. Moore, upon being
presented with the statements made in the Quran regarding the stages of
formation of the embryo -- from the mixing of the male and female gametes up
to the embryo’s full development remarked: "It has been a pleasure for me to
help clarify statements in the Quran about human development. It is clear to me
that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God because almost
all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later."
Consider also the statement of Tejatet Tejasen (Professor at the Dept.
of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mei University, Thailand)
after his study on the Quranic passages dealing with embryology:
"From my studies and what I have learnt at this conference I believe
that everything that has been recorded in the Quran 1400 years ago
must be true. That can be proved through the scientific way
Consider also the statement of T.V.N. Persaud (Professor and Head,
Dept. of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, University of
Manitoba, Canada): "Muhammad was a very ordinary man. He
couldn’t read, didn’t know how to write, in fact he was an illiterate...
we’re talking about 1400 years ago, you have some illiterate person
making profound statements that are amazingly accurate, of a
scientific nature... I personally can’t see how this could be mere chance,
there are too many accuracies
DARWINISM THEORY OF EVOLUTION
Darwin says that evolution is due natural selection.
Natural selection is Darwin’s most famous theory; it states that
evolutionary change comes through the production of variation in each
generation and differential survival of individuals with different
combinations of these variable characters. Individuals with
characteristics which increase their probability of survival will have
more opportunities to reproduce and their offspring will also benefit
from the heritable, advantageous character.
Darwin did two things
(1) convinced people that evolution actually occurs
(2) provided a mechanism by how it occurs.
Darwin's theory proceeds from three easy observations.
- All species have variations within them. Individuals are not identical.
- Some of the variation is inherited (we look like our parents); some of
it random.
- Organisms produce more offspring than survive. Survivors therefore
have some characteristics which contribute to survival.
Variations within species are random, but if they are fortuitous they
will be passed on to the offspring who will have a better chance of
survival to age of sexual maturity and so can pass the characteristic
onto the next generation. Disadvantageous variations are unlikely to
survive as they less likely to be transmitted to the next generation.
Mutations in different species occur slowly, and it might take thousands of years
for a particular species to develop into a completely different one. He
declared that humans evolved from apes, and that thus apes are humans'
ancestors.
Sexual (gender) selection is also an important factor. “Survival of the sexy”
In some, cases may be primary factor (humans, bird plumage). If a particular
feature makes the organism attractive to a mate, it will be selected for, even if it
is disadvantageous (but not unduly so) in terms of environmental survival.
“Perfectly adapted to it’s environment” a myth. Many characteristics
of an organism arise as genetic side effects.
As long as a variation is not disadvantageous, it will be preserved.
Only bad things selected against by nature. Thus, not “survival of the
fittest” (Darwin), but “extinction of the least fittest
CASE AGAINST DARWINISM
We have noted from the statements of leading evolutionary scientists
that no true vertical evolution from one kind of organism to a more
complex kind has ever been observed in all human history.
The most frequently cited example of DNA commonality is the
human/chimpanzee “similarity,” noting that chimpanzees have more
than 90% of their DNA the same as humans. This is hardly surprising,
however, considering the many physiological resemblances between
people and chimpanzees. Why shouldn’t they have similar DNA
structures in comparison, say, to the DNA differences between men
and spiders?
The great differences between organisms are of greater significance
than the similarities, and evolutionism has no explanation for these if
they all are assumed to have had the same ancestor. How could these
great gaps between kinds ever arise at all, by any natural process?
Nevertheless, evolutionists, having largely become disappointed with the fossil
record as a witness for evolution because of the ubiquitous gaps where there
should be transitions, recently have been promoting DNA and other genetic
evidence as proof of evolution. However, this is often inconsistent with, not only
the fossil record,
but also with the comparative morphology of the creatures.
fossils in the earth are not alike so his statement of transition from one specie to
another becomes invalid
The abundance of so-called “junk DNA” in the genetic code also has
been offered as a special type of evidence for evolution, especially
those genes which they think have experienced mutations, sometimes
called “pseudogenes.” However, evidence is accumulating rapidly
today that these supposedly useless genes do actually perform useful
functions.
In conclusion Scientific knowledge is got using scientific method which
involves carrying out repeated tests and yet origin cannot be tested
thus theories of evolution are not right.
ISLAM AND EVOLUTION
If by evolution one means the development and growth that Allah
Almighty has placed in the nature of His creation, then this is
acceptable and the Quran itself talks about it.
According to Islamic view; human beings are a special creation of
Allah. Allah created the body of Adam and his wife Eve from the solid
and their soul from himself, and then through them created many men
and women.
Islam says that God has created this universe and Humans with a specified
goal. The evolutionists’ claim that the universe started from “first atom” and life
started from “first cell”. Who created the atom and cell, the evolutionists cannot
answer.
There is another Islamic viewpoint for Human Embryonic Development
We created man from an extract of clay. Then we made him as a drop in a
place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then we made the drop into an alaqah (leech,
suspended thing, and blood clot), then we made the alaqah into a mudghah
(chewed substance)... (Quran, 23:12-14)
Three types of creation Quran mentions
Adam created from clay
Eve who was from the rib of Adam
Me and you from union of man and woman
Issah/ Jesus Soul blown into mariam
ISLAM’S EXPLANATION OF FOSSIL BONES
OF OUR ANCESTORS
There is absolutely no concrete fossil evidence to support the ape-like man or
primitive-man theory, whose image is unceasingly indoctrinated by the media
and the in evolutionist circles There is absolutely not even an iota of truth in
their evolution theory.
the only reason these materialist evolutionists ardently prescribe to their
evolution theory is, because if they declare what scientific findings have
already declared as false and baseless, they would have to accept the
inevitable fact that there is a Creator of all things; which these atheists would
never ever accept
The Piltdown Man is one of the biggest scandal in the history of
science, where the evolutionists produced an ape-man with bone and
teeth specimens, where the jawbone was more ape-like, and the teeth
and the skull were like a mans.
These specimens were labeled the Piltdown Man and alleged to be
500,000 thousand years old, and were displayed as an absolute
proof of human evolution in several museums
Flourine testing, a then new test used for determining the date of some
old fossils was carried out in 1949 and the test result showed that the
jawbone didn’t contain any flourine there it was a few years old and
skull contained flourine therefore it had lived a few thousand years.
In 1953 I was revealed that a the skull belonged to a man and the
jaw was for an ape, the two were joined
ACCORDING TO ISLAM
All the Scriptures of the Abrahamic faiths confirm that God created
Hadrat Adam (a.s.) and Hadrat Hawwa (a.s.) and the complete human
race is a descendant of these sole parents of mankind.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 4 Surah Nisaa verse 1:
O mankind! Reverence your Guardian-Lord Who created you from a
single person (Adam), created of like nature his mate (Hawwa), and
from them twain scattered countless men and women.
