Quran and Modern Science Alogrithm

www.ExamineTheTruth.com

If a statement in the Quran, or any book correlates with modern science, that does not make it automatically miraculous. There can be several human explanations. Therefore, in a discussion on Quran and science, there needs to be certain systems and procedures. The following algorithm will provide a systematic method of analysis without personal opinion or bias. This algorithm lists all the human possibilities, and also lists the supernatural possibility:

 

IF Statement in the Quran = Scientific fact THEN

(it can be one or more of the following 8 possibilities)

A. Perhaps the author of the statement was a genius.

B. A very good guess, luck.

C. Perhaps the author of the statement was a great scientist

D. Coincidence (ex: a poetic statement which just happened to match
up with science),, and the author had no intention of talking
about science; it was an accident. Coincidence is a form of luck.

E. Common sense (ex: rain causes grass to grow).

F. The scientific fact is observable.

G. The information already pre-existed in history.
(this can only be entertained if we have historical errors)

H. A source greater than man was involved.

END.
