we are all here to learn.
suppoding that there is three people in the kitchen preparing a delecious dish for you. but you don't know that there is three people.
all those cookers did their best to make a delecious dish, but when they finnshed. only one of them toke it to you and told you : good apetite.
of course you'll tell him thank you and when you finnish you'll say: you're realy a good cooker thank you very much.
it's the same with science. for example in physics we have this relations n1 x sin i1 =n2 sin i2 we call it descart releationship of light reefraction.
but before descart there is many scientists who studied this phynomena like ibn hazm and others.
in algebra you know that (a+b)² =a²+2ab+b² but have you ever know for who is this ?
in biology study how a cell can gives 4 cells but have the teacher told you who discovered the chromosome, chromatids.......
at high school they teach us phynomenas in genral, when you go to university and you study physics or biolgy you know that every single things was discovered by a scientists.
it's like building a house and every one help to build it. you get my point !!???? |
While I acknowledge Islamic civilisation made important contributions to science, these contributions don't have to be founded on Islamic tenets. Greek civilisation made huge advances in science and so has modern Western civilisation, particularly in the last 150 years. Neither of these civilisations was based on the Islamic religion. Religious beliefs did provide a motivation for some scientists but often the relationship is ambiguous, as Galileo's case showed. Your arguments are confused and hard to get at but you seem to be arguing to know the truths we accept, our mind needs a special graced illumination by God. This idea has already been raised in Western philosophy by people like Plato, Augustine and Descartes. It is a fascinating theory, but there are deep problems with it. Personally, I don't think you need explicit religious beliefs to understand and do science. Faith can lead to the belief that science points to something beyond itself, a Transcendent, but this itself requires an act of faith beforehand. You can't conjure or prove God's existence from science.

i think you have heared about jihad, unfortunatelly when western people hear "jihad" they think about explosions and terrorism( because when tv channel say jihad : it shows automatically explosions).
but jihad doesn't mean that, looking for the knowledge is jihad, the love of science is jihad in islam. and the first word of quran is "iqraa= read"
(read by the name of your lord who created...)
quran talks a lot about science,i mean god tell us to love science and to learn more. the value of the mind and knowledge is big in that book.
i think i don't agree with you, because science show us that there is something strange in this world.
in my opinion science is a train who toke me to know many things but i feel that i have to change the train and to follow another way.
science is made to understand material world : when we divide something to a very small particles we find molecules, atoms, protons...these rae the most smaller things we can now.but can science tell you from where they came from ? and can science tell you why those protons should make molecules ? i hope you won't tell me : it's considence !!
all this proves that there is somethig strange in our world.
and when we use logic,by the way i think you have heard about the example of the cave:
when someone lives all his life in a cave and he wasn't never out, he will think that all the world is "that cave. and for him it's impossible that there is another world, all the truths (for him) is in that cave. it's the same for us we don't accept that there is a other world and we don't aaccept that there is a creator for this universe, why ?
because we live in a cave !!
i can be a muslim without thinking about these things, but i can be a more then good beliver if i know these things.because belief become more wonderful when we belive by heart and mind.
